This handmade sterling silver ring features a unique agatized dinosaur bone fossil stone set in a castellated hand crafted bezel with a unique texture. *Ring is ready to ship!* The ring features a hammered patterned sterling silver band. The ring has been polished, had a patina applied, and has been polished again to give this unique dark finish. This ring fits a size US 9 ********** Before shipping, your piece of jewelry has been sealed with a museum-grade wax to slow down the tarnish process, as well to protect it from the elements. While the piece will still tarnish over time, this is an added protection. Be aware that I apply a patina to highlight details and to give a satin and rustic look to my pieces. A polishing cloth will remove the patina prematurely. Only use a polishing cloth to polish the small areas that you want shiny again.
