Made entirely with hand-tools by me, from a genuine pre-decimal irish penny from 1968; the last year of mintage due to the conversion to a decimal based monetary system.
This listing pictures a size 15 but if you need the size adjusted before shipment, let me know what size you need in the message to seller portion of the checkout. If you need one smaller than 14 you may see my other listing; as I charge a little less for the smaller sizes. The larger rings take more work to make which is why the price difference.
I have ran into people who need unusually large rings, and they cited there is a shortage of large rings so they don't even bother shopping for rings their size. It is a bit more work, and it is near the top of my production capabilities, but I am happy to make some rings available to this small niche of people. Yes, the prices are a bit higher for these larger rings than for the normal sizes I will list separately; but they really take great care to craft.
I polish them to a mirror shine, and then apply a very thin layer of protective wax to keep them looking nice. However, these are actually bronze coins, that is an alloy comprised nearly entirely of copper. It will darken with wear and exposure to the elements in due time. I have been testing these both un-waxed and waxed; without the protective wax, the ring darkens and starts taking a patina within a day of wear. So far after a day, the waxed one isn't darkening. Yes, it is darkening my skin a little from wear, but anyone who wears copper bracelets or copper jewelry understands the phenomenon. If you absolutely do not want a ring that will darken the skin or patina; please look at my other listings, I am going to be listing and be keeping listed, irish cupronickel and also silver rings. I am very much pleased how the few I have made custom for people have turned out, so I look forward to making them available to everyone!
If you buy from this listing, the one you actually receive may vary from that shown, however it will arrive looking at least as good or better, and in the same kind of ring box pictured.
Free US shipping, and I am sorry, but I must set the international shipping rate at $14.95, because it costs $14.50 to send a ring first class to the UK, not kidding. But, only $2.49 each additional ring, so if you order multiples then its not so bad if you are outside the US. I am also offering 10% off your order if you buy 2 or more rings. I cannot accept offers as I have lowered the price to my rock bottom number already.
If I don't have what you are looking for, tell me what you are looking for and I will let you know if I can make it available and what the final price will be.
