Vintage Brass Artisan Crafted Sodalite Avant Garde Ring
 
This ring is completely hand crafted out thick yellow copper sheets.  To the center sits a dark cabochon cut sodalite stone.  The artists intention was for the ring to look like a medieval witches or warlocks ring, with rough and unmatched edges.  The three flares that rise from the top and bottom of the ring are smooth with tapered edges. The back of the ring is shows the folded sheets and weld marks, along with the artisans initials "PJ".  The ring looks great on a lady or gent, and is not only unusual, but that perfect addition to your Gothic, BoHo Chic or Avant Garde look.
