Textured Silver Ring. Flower Ring popular Band. Sterling Silver Thumb Rings for Women. Upcycled from an Australian Vintage Coin. Custom Size.
This gorgeous floral textured silver band ring was upcycled from a sterling vintage coin from the early 1900s.
The silver is textured by rolling the coin under pressure to produce the design. A 'washer' is cut and stretched out to form the band, so the ring is seamless with continuous pattern, and no interruption from a solder line. This technique of stretching out of the centre results in one opening of the ring being slightly thicker than the other but it is unnoticeable on the finger and very comfortable to wear. The ring can be custom made in a wide range of sizes.
THE COIN:
Origin: Australia,
Face value: 2 shillings (Florin),
Date: 1914 (ring pictured but year could vary on custom orders),
Silver purity: 925 (Sterling).
THE RING:
Size: Custom (Aus / UK size Q1/2, US size 81/2 pictured, but please choose size from menu and refer to last picture for US ring size conversion).
Weight: 5.3 grams,
Band width: 9 mm (just under 3/8 inch),
Thickness: approx. 1 mm.
This ring looks and feels great on any finger or as a thumb ring.
Please note that each ring is unique and for custom size orders, slight variations may occur.
The ring pictured is an average size and as the same sized washer is used for all ring sizes,
smaller or much larger sized rings will accordingly result in slight variations to the thickness.
All of my upcycled jewelry is made from authentic sold silver vintage / antique items.
A COMPLIMENTARY patch of anti-tarnish storing cloth as popular well as a small silver cleaning cloth is included with every purchase to keep your jewellery piece looking beautiful!
