The ultimate in simple statements... This understated 18g blackened copper band catches the eye with it's bold, clean look. Customize it to suit your need - hammered or textured, solid or burnished... or order several to suit your differing moods! The copper is chemically blackened using a combination of Jax Brow-Black Darkener or Jax Silver-Black and black-oxide metal dye. The inside of the ring is cleaned to show the natural copper and the outside is coated with a protective finish. The default is a gloss finish, but a matte finish is available on request. The solid black finish on the hammered ring may show a slight purple tone and/or silver sheen.

If you are unsure of your ring size, I recommend that you download and print out the following free PDF ring sizer. Be sure that you do not fit the printout to your page! http://www.licketycut.com/printableringsizer.pdf. All of my rings are sized on a Durston Professional Precision mandrel for maximum sizing accuracy. Please bear in mind that different mandrel manufacturers and different sizing methods may result in sizing variations.
Remember that a wider ring needs a little extra give in the size - usually .25 to .5 of a size increment.
Production times vary on my work volume (I really do work full time :) ) and the average number of orders that I have to create. Please remember that each piece is custom-made. Current production times are running between 2-6 business weeks. Please message me if you need your ring expedited.
All seams are joined with silver solder due to its strength and durability. Depending on the finish selected the silver seam may be visible, however I will try to minimize it's visibility.
Copper, brass, and even silver may leave a green mark on skin depending on moisture, diet, medication, etc. If you experience this please refer to my FAQ section for easy and effective fixes.
