This ring is made from deadsoft copper and darkened with liver of sulfur to give it a beautiful dark patina. I have loved the freeflowing style of jewelry for years and decided to give it a try myself. You can wear the ring so that it shows off all the curls and swirls or adjust it so it emphasizes the brass and copper beads. Let me know if you would like this ring to be darkened or lightened further. If the ring ever bends out of shape use a ring mandrel to re-shape it to your liking
