Heavily Textured Fine Silver Ring Made to Order Handmade

Details

Ring Bling: Fine silver (99.9% silver) in a strong 14 gauge has been fused and hand-hammered to add texture and interest. This handmade ring represent my most dramatic texturing method, where the surface has hundreds of small "dimples" that reflect the light. To achieve the surface, I patiently layer hammer strokes while I turn the ring. Texturing is visible on the sides as well; this is not a boring ring!

Each hammered ring is little wider than 1/16" (2 mm). If you purchase a pair of these rings, I will make them at the same time to ensure the set stacks nicely on your finger. A set is shown in picture four but this listing is for ONE ring. I tumble all my fine silver rings with steel shot for several hours to polish and strengthen the precious metal. This adds a nice sheen and softens the texturing a bit.

I make whole and half sizes to order, between sizes 4 and 12. Even when creating your ring to order, I will ship within 5 days of payment. Please specify on checkout (message to seller) the size you need. For sizes over 12, please contact me for pricing. I also make a set of stacked rings with this texture at $60 for a matching set of 3. I can also make different combinations of textures, depending on your preferences; use the "contact this seller" button to send an email.

As with all my uniquely designed and crafted jewelry, this ring will come packaged in a recycled paper jewelry box and padded mailer. First Class postage includes tracking, which I notify you of promptly after shipping. Please see my Policies page for further information.

Thanks for browsing my virtual studio!

A happy customer writes about my stack rings: "Most comfie thumb ring ever because they can move individually."

Materials Used

Fine silver (99.9 percent silver)

More Info

I use fine silver for textured band rings because it takes hammer marks beautifully and the surface reflects the light more dramatically than sterling. Since these are not machined rings, please allow for the handcrafted nature of the result.

Fine silver (99.9% pure) starts soft and I take it through a long process of hammering and tumbling to add strength. As with all fine jewelry, pure silver will do best when protected from chemicals and harsh treatment. The bonus is that fine silver does not tarnish as quickly as sterling, since it doesn't have copper or other metals added. Any light tarnish that forms can be wiped off gently with a polishing cloth (no abrasive chemicals are needed). I'll include with your ring a reusable polishing pad that you can use to touch up as needed.

PAYMENT

The accepted method of payment is PayPal (Amazon Payments was discontinued by ArtFire in 2015). You do not have to set up a PayPal account to be able to make secure payment through their site, and I will not see your credit card number. Please make payment within 24 hours of making purchase, as otherwise I assume you are foregoing the purchase and will re-post the item(s).

No personal checks are accepted; money orders will be allowed by previous email arrangement. Please make contact with me ahead of time if you request to pay by money order.

NOTE: Residents of Georgia will see sales tax added upon checkout, as I am required by law to collect and remit tax to the state.

SHIPPING

Orders will be shipped in 2-5 business days of payment to your PayPal address unless the listing notes extra time for fabrication (make to order). Send an email immediately after making payment if an alternate address should be used, or add to Notes to Seller. Items shipped within the United States will be wrapped and shipped by USPS First Class with tracking, which number I will provide to you on shipping. Canada packages will be sent First Class Mail International with appropriate customs form. For purchases specially arranged by money order, your item will ship after full payment has been received. If you are outside the U.S. and Canada, please contact me to discuss shipping options and pricing.

RETURN AND EXCHANGE POLICY

I want you to be happy with your handmade jewelry and will work with you on any concerns you may have after purchase. Because great care is taken to describe and picture an item accurately, please choose carefully. Unworn items may be exchanged or returned for partial refund. You will be responsible for the cost of shipping a return item with delivery tracking--which cost will be refunded if an item is defective. The refund amount will be reduced by original shipping costs and a 15% handling fee. Returns or exchanges must be initiated within 7 days of receiving your item, and I must receive by mail with tracking within 14 days--in original unworn condition and secure packaging.
