John Varvatos Artisanal Brass and Silver Ring

• Brass & Sterling Silver
• Handcrafted in Turkey
• Signature Hallmark on Interior

John Varvatos is renowned for his ability to design a masterpiece with no coloring, no coating, or artificial materials. Two different metals of this unique vintage-style ring create a symbiosis of quality that lasts for decades. The first is premium Alpha Brass and the second one is beautiful bright Sterling Silver.

Premium Alpha Brass was the best choice for the sturdy base of the ring because of its esthetical and physical properties. This ring is a bit wider than an average ring, so the durability of the brass came in handy to avoid bending. However, the most decisive attribute has been alpha brass' anti-corrosive elements that keep it in mint condition for decades. The shape of the brass base provides a luxurious cradle for the incredible Sterling Silver wire that elegantly wraps around it.

Sterling Silver comes naturally as an equally impressive counterpart to the brass foundation. It does not react to water so washing your hands or swimming with it is okay. The same goes for atmospheric conditions. Even though wires tend to be susceptible to misshaping over the years- Sterling Silver makes it so solid it never moves out of place.

The beautiful white glimmer it gives off contrasts the brass foundation's sharp golden appearance, resulting in a vintage piece inspired by the rings of antiquity.

Another fascinating fact about the ring is its origins. It is handcrafted from scratch by skilled craftsmen that spent hours to make every single detail perfect. With a process like that, you're guaranteed to get quality, but it's very time-consuming. Because of that, the total number of these rings in the world is very limited.

To mark the ring with a sign of authenticity, designer's initials- "JV" are pressed into the inner side of the ring.
