Women's Natural August Birth Flower Ring

Poppy and gladiolus struck by hand into a tall gold cigar band, one strike at a time, with texture worked into the run between them. At 4mm the ring has real height without a stone on top, so nothing catches on a pocket. That height is what makes it useful in a stack: slot it between thinner bands and it holds the whole thing together instead of just adding to it. Because every stamp is placed by hand in a Florida studio, the flowers land slightly differently on each ring. August's flowers, or simply flowers, depending on what you came for. 14k gold filled, hand-stamped. Keep away from perfume, lotion, and household chemicals, and take it off before swimming or using cleaning products. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear, and store it dry and away from harder pieces that could scuff the stamped flowers. Colour: natural
