Hand crafted by me. Wide approximately 10mm copper band ring with texture finish and natural fire patina. Size is 11.5 in US size. This ring is made out of very high quality copper sheet (1.2mm thickness). This means that there is no cut anywhere on the band itself. I punched a hole in a copper sheet and in the second step I punched a bigger diameter circle around it. So I end up with a washer like piece. I manual texture / tap / form on my mandrel. A lot of heat was applied during the whole process of creating this ring and for the final finish I use heat and water to create this beautiful colour patina. No other ring will be and can be the same because of my manual texturing (plain use of different hand tools, texturing hammers) but also because of the natural red / black heat patina finish. Pictures were taken in a natural sun light and in artificial light this ring looks so different. It has a very different finish / look in different light settings. All my rings have a smooth finish for a comfortable wear and they are all very unique. I put a lot of heart and my own technique to hand craft each one of them. It is not a 30 minute “process”.
This type of fire finish will last for a long time (I can’t say forever because I started to make them with this finish 2 years ago). Please DO NOT use any polishing agents / chemicals just wash it with water and natural soap if you have to. I apply bees wax on my ring (yes bees wax on the metal) from time to time and it looks better every time. This ring is chemical free and in the whole crafting process there was not even one chem used. If for some reason you will decide to (or by mistake) remove the finish I can put a very similar finish back on your ring (remember not the same finish but similar as this is a very unique pattern). The cost for re-applying fire patina finish is free however you do have to pay for postage (in and out). Feel free to ask me any questions regarding my rings and be sure to browse through my online shop here on Etsy for my other rings, coin rings and wooden rings. Thank you, Thomas.
