Wandering the streets near the harbor in Reykjavik, Iceland, I found an antiques store with a big bin of well-worn tools. One little hammer with a marred, well-used peen head called to me. It is more than 100 years old and creates the coolest pattern when the marred head hits metal. Entirely hand-forged and handmade from sterling silver, this ring is oxidized to a deep gunmetal black that fills the indentations. Then I polish the surface back up to a bright silver. This creates a beautiful, ancient-looking texture that mimics the black lava fields that stretch across the island of Iceland. The oxidization will wear like a favorite pair of jeans. The band measures 5mm wide and 1mm thick. The last photo shows this ring in a bright sterling silver finish, without any oxidization. You can choose that option in the drop-down menu next to the size menu.
I forge and hammer each ring individually for a unique finish, made to order in U.S. ring sizes.
ONE WEEK PROCESSING TIME: All my work is made-to-order, specifically for you. My turn-around time (i.e. the length of the order queue plus fabrication time) is ONE WEEK from the date of your purchase to the date of shipment. Doesn't seem so long, once you think about it :)
If you are at all unsure of the ring size, please purchase this easy, reusable finger sizer before you order the ring:

Each one of your ten fingers is a different size, so it's best not to guess.
