    More simple copper and brass finger rings

    I made few more copper and brass finger rings using some texturing hammers.  All of them are made the same way as my coin rings – no cut, just wrapped on my mandrel.  All the finishes are using fire , torch and …. no artificial patinas and any other chemicals.  I am not sure how long some of the finishes will last ?  Few copper and brass rings I made 4-5 months ago look exactly the same when I made them so they staying on nicely.  However I haven’t cleaned them with any polishing compounds etc.  I sold few and no complaints  so far … I sell them for $30 each and at some point I will add them to my etsy online shop.   Contact me and I can make you one to your spec (width, size and finish).

    Here are some photos :

    Simple copper and brass finger rings by Coin Carnival

    I have bought some sheets of very nice 1.2mm copper and brass few weeks ago.  I have punched few circles out of it and made some rings.  Few different finishes, very simple and “earthy”.  I am not sure how long the finish will last if you start cleaning your ring using different products but if you just wipe it with a cloth so far it has been 7 weeks and they look as they did when I made them.  Those finishes are NOT painted!  They are created using heat and water.  That is it.  If they will start rubbing off I will consider putting a coat of clear paint to seal it but I do not like any chemicals on my rings so maybe I don’t have to do that.  I can make them in any shape, size etc.  I am still playing and experimenting with different heat application to achieve different results.  I sold few of them locally the minute I showed them to few friends.  I can make one as a custom order.
