Rustic Rings His and Hers

These, rustic copper bands are hammered to a beautiful finish and then layered with a rich brown patina and sealed for a lasting finish.  I make these rings out of re-purposed copper pipe.  

It's interesting to completely transform an object into something else, to re-invent it and make it into wearable art.

Although copper does not look great on my skin tone, I love working with that metal; it reacts beautifully to the torch and it's so versatile! Plus, it looks amazing with silver.   

One of the techniques that blows my mind is "torch painting".  
In the future, I will write a post all about the process.  It's fascinating and mesmerizing all at once!

These rustic bands sell as a set.  You can get them via my online store here.
