Globe Ring Series in Sterling Silver




These are some newly completed rings I made. I will be posting them on my website for purchase in a few moments. These are hand fabricated in sterling silver. The top is a size 6 and the bottom a size 8. I plan on making several more of these (same aesthetic, different details), and if you would like one in a specific size, just shoot me an email. Hope you enjoy.
