Your story, inscribed.
I sculpted the Tabula to be a clean slate, a solid foundation for the marks that matter most to you. In the ancient world, a tabula was a tablet used to record history. I created this ring to hold yours.
Carrying a substantial presence of roughly 9 grams of metal, the Tabula features a smooth, flat face designed for a custom inscription. Whether it is an initial, a date, or a symbol of a season you have survived, this ring serves as a heavy, tactile reminder of where you have been.

Fit & Sizing: Hand-sculpted band built for comfort. Because this signet design features a flat, top-heavy face, it can sit slightly looser than standard flat bands. I recommend sizing down a half size for the most secure fit. Please note that minor sizing variations may occur due to natural clay shrinkage during firing.
Note from the Artist: Each piece is hand sculpted and fired to order in my Connecticut studio. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your piece to be crafted, polished, and shipped.
A Note on Materials
This piece is available in two metals: bronze and .999 pure fine silver. Please note that each material has distinct characteristics and care requirements.
Fine Silver (.999): This variant is not rhodium plated or coated in any way. You are wearing solid, elemental metal exactly as it is. Fine silver is an elemental metal. It may tarnish, develop a patina, or react to your environment at a rate that differs from plated or sterling silver pieces. Factors such as skin chemistry, humidity, lotions, soaps, and airborne compounds all influence how the metal responds. This is a natural characteristic of pure silver, not a defect. Tarnish is easily removed at home using a polishing cloth, a baking soda paste, or a silver cleaning cream. Full care instructions for fine silver are available here.
Bronze: Bronze is a copper-based alloy that develops a natural patina over time. It may darken with wear, which many people find adds to its character. Regular polishing will restore its original warm tone. Full care instructions for bronze are available here.
If you are unfamiliar with the properties of .999 fine silver or bronze, please take a moment to research the materials before purchasing to confirm they are 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 tarnishing and surface changes are not considered defects and are not covered under the custom order return policy. I am always happy to help with care questions at help@ingavaughn.com.
