Mwanzo is a large circular disc brass ring, with a broad flat face that commands the hand as a statement piece for men and women. The scale is the design: bold and architectural, the kind of ring people notice first. Also described as a large, round ring or circular statement ring. Made using sand casting, a technique where the design is pressed into sand, and brass is poured in molten, so each piece has its own slight character.A nano ceramic e-coat over solid recycled brass delivers superior durability and resistance to water, sweat, and tarnishing. Protection that's felt in the wear, not seen on the surface.Product Details Material: Solid recycled brass with nano ceramic e-coat Tarnish-resistant, water-resistant, hypoallergenic, nickel free Ethically handcrafted by Fair Trade artisans Mwanzo means beginning in Swahili — the first word of a new thing.
