Solana Ring

Inspired by the success of the Imperia ring- I decided to take the plunge with this gorgeous old mine cut to see if I could do her justice.

I named this piece Solana, derived from the Latin word for sun. I wanted to create a ring with this massive stone for a while now and I think it’s captured the intensity and commanding presence of the sun. It is like a bright ray of sunlight that commands attention the moment it enters the room. I want you to feel empowered, strong, and confident when you wear this ring. Solana represents that for me.

This piece features a substantial 10mm Old Mine Cut cubic zirconia, bezel set on top of a hand-sculpted solid bronze dome. The bezel frame is hand-polished to a high-shine mirror finish that compliments the stunning warmth of the stone. Designed for a commanding presence on the hand, the substantial band carries a satisfying weight while maintaining a comfortable contour for daily wear. I also designed it with an open azure back to let light pass straight through the stone. I think she makes a perfect statement pinky ring.

Because of the labor-intensive nature of sculpting and firing bronze rings, these will be available for pre order and made to order for a very limited time.

A Note on Bronze

This piece is handcrafted from bronze clay. Broze is an alloy made up of copper and tin (*Nickel free) and it is extremely strong. It may develop a natural patina, deepen in color, or react to your environment over time. Factors such as skin chemistry, humidity, lotions, soaps, and airborne compounds all influence how the metal responds. This is a natural and celebrated characteristic of bronze, not a defect.

Patina can be easily managed at home using a polishing cloth which is included in your order. I recommend wiping it down before and after wearing and your ring will remain in excellent condition.

It's also worth noting that bronze may temporarily turn your skin green with extended wear. This is a completely harmless reaction between the metal and your skin's natural chemistry, and it washes off easily with soap and water.

If you are unfamiliar with the properties of bronze, please take a moment to read my Bronze Care & Information guide before purchasing to confirm it is the right fit for you. By completing your purchase, you acknowledge that you understand these natural characteristics. Because each piece is made to order, please note that natural patina and surface changes are not considered defects and are not covered under the custom order return policy.
