These eco friendly sterling silver and copper rings have been completely hand hammered and polished for an interesting combination of silky and rough surfaces. Originally designed as a women’s ring, I’ve reworked it to be attractive for men and women, by a request from a wonderful customer.
Before I started working with copper I always just thought how silver would be the only metal for me. I got hooked onto this warm red glowing metal after trying it out in a class, as a model material. It proved itself to be a great material to work with, and with a great variety of colors. Then I decided to look into the history of this metal and realized that this is the original, ancient metal of human race, and old Greeks attributed it to Aphrodite or Venus, goddess of beauty, mother of love. Just like love, copper is also one of essential trace elements in all living beings.
The rings are made to order out of 5 mm wide 18g strip of sterling silver and copper. Just put desired sizes in the notes to seller during the checkout process. If you are in a hurry, please send me a message before purchase and I’ll give you an estimate of time line.
The ladies ring is also available separately:

Sterling silver used in this project is recycled in a certified eco responsible facility, and copper is one of the original recycled metals.
They come in a nice little handmade pouch, that I sew myself of recycled fabric. Gift-wrapping is also made out of recycled materials. No need to feel guilty about it.
All my items are hand made, and as such not perfect, but that is the hidden beauty in all of us.
Thanks for looking!
