Yellow Dragon Eye - Magnificent Ring - Size 8

I've wire wrapped this dragon eye ring with copper wire and given the band a decorative basket weave. Inspired by Lord of the Rings, Eye of Sauron and dragon eyes lurking in the caves of your D&D campaign.

My Artisanal Process

This handmade copper wire wrapped ring features a dragon eye cabochon that I've carefully set using techniques I've been perfecting for years. Each bend and weave is done by hand – no shortcuts. 

After completing the wirework, I apply a patina using a liver of sulfur solution that transforms the bright copper into a rich, dark gunmetal finish. I carefully dip it in a warmed sulphuric bath, then neutralize the chemical reaction with baking soda. I polish the metal by hand with steel wool to remove excess tarnish, creating depth and highlights.

Craftsmanship Details

I create each ring completely by hand using two main techniques:

1. The band is crafted using a basket weave pattern for both decoration and durability. This technique distributes pressure evenly around your finger.
   
   

2. The cabochon is held with a copper coil and a polished square wire creating a clean, structured frame around the stone, adding dimension and a refined finish to the piece.
   
   

Caring for Your Jewelry

With wear, your jewelry will develop its own unique character; the dark patina will gradually lighten in high-contact areas, revealing hints of the copper's natural warmth beneath. To preserve your ring's appearance:

• Store in a jewelry box or tightly closed container when not wearing
  
• Remove before washing hands, showering, swimming, or sleeping
  
• Keep dry to prevent unwanted green patina that can develop when copper meets moisture
  
• Handle with care to maintain the precise wirework and stone setting
  
  

This distinctive ring makes an excellent statement piece for special occasions or an everyday signature accessory. Perfect for those who appreciate bold yet refined jewelry with an artistic edge.

Note: Since each ring is handcrafted, the size may vary slightly as each size is 1mm difference
