Massive Lion Statement Ring

Massive blackened brass lion on an antiqued brass adjustable buckle base. Ring is set at a size 8 and adjustable to larger sizes. Plated brass. Lead and nickel free. Over time, the metals will oxidize further, giving the piece a unique, natural, timeworn patina.

These unique assemblage pieces are created using jeweler’s epoxy, not solder. While they are very sturdy and extremely durable, they are art jewelry and should be treated gently. Care should be taken not to hit them up against hard surfaces. 

Artist's Note: I have been collecting big, bold, unusual metal costume jewelry rings for many years. These high drama statement rings were popular in the 1960s and usually featured big brass figural motifs and filigree in styles that nodded to the victorian, art nouveau, and baroque periods. This style of costume jewelry has become increasingly hard to find, so I started sourcing unusual and beautiful components to start making the styles that I wanted for myself. One thing lead to another and it became yet another form of art jewelry that I am in love with working on. I am so happy to present this ongoing collection of big, bold, decadent, affordable statement rings and hope you will love wearing them as much as I do.
