Description
In the Middle Ages, evil represented the worst enemy of the church. Therefore, it was imperative to repel evil from its holy churches. Enter the gargoyle, whose duty it was to repel all evil spirits. They were known as the the "Keepers of Good" and their horrific expressions reminded God’s enemies that divine protection was enforced on the holy structures that they were attempting to approach. It was believed that a gargoyle would holler when evil was near. I consider this gargoyle ring a spiritual watch dog... and yes, he bites!
From my 3 Rexes Relic line. Make a fist & his jaw opens!
PLEASE NOTE:
1) The dark patina is temporary (see details below)
2) Each piece is unique so no two will look alike
Front height 7/8", back 3/8"
Consider 1/2 size larger due to wide band
Antiqued brass will vary, no two are alike!
3 Rexes ring box included (may vary)
INFO & CARE: I antiqued this brass ring using a turn of the century technique called fuming. I'm able to achieve deep rich colors, which can range from dark olive browns to highlights of luscious yellow and reds. There may also be tiny hints of green verdigris, with the raw brass peeking through in some areas! I then buffed the ring with a jewelers grade museum quality wax. This wax will "help" preserve the color and patina. The color may slowly change over time... herein lies the mystical beauty of this natural process called oxidation. PATINA CARE: Please avoid harsh chemicals, soaps, sweating, hot water, etc., as this may remove the wax sealer.
ATTN Please Read Disclosure:
1. Antiquing will vary
2. The brass patina can change over time
3. Please be sure on your ring size for a wide band
4. Please make sure you are fine with brass before purchasing. Brass is alloyed with copper so it can cause skin discoloration in a certain percentage of the population. As with any metal (brass, silver & gold), discoloration can be caused by the pH level in your body. There are products that you can purchase to seal the jewelry (similar to clear nail polish). Please contact me for recommendations.
Please ask all questions prior to purchase, thanks!
