I share occasional updates from my studio, upcoming California art shows, and the stories behind my one-of-a-kind jewelry and leather designs — written personally by me.
This modern textured open band snake ring is the perfect accessory to complement any personal style. The ring is designed with the world’s finest silver, Argentium®. The one of a kind band beautifully displays texture throughout the ring. The ring comes with a fancy gold trim ring box and white gift box.
It is a one of a kind ring that isn’t casted — pouring molten metal into molds for mass production. The handmade design is an extensive process of sawing metal pieces, hand sculpting, texturing, hammering, buffing, multiple hours of heat hardening the Argentium silver to increase the tarnish resistance properties, and polishing to create a high quality piece you can wear for years to come.
Each ring is personally hand crafted by designer, Lisa Ramos. MONOLISA artisan made rings are not mass produced or sold in retail stores. They are only available exclusively at this online store, by appointment, or at a MONOLISA show.
The video below captures some of the steps that go into making a MONOLISA ring.
Argentium silver, the finest silver, is used to design this handmade jewelry piece. Argentium silver contains 93.6% pure silver and is more pure than sterling silver. Argentium silver is seven times more tarnish resistant than traditional sterling silver and is nickel free. Argentium silver is brighter and whiter than other precious metals, making it simply beautiful.
Argentium silver is hypoallergenic, also known to fight infections and is associated with antibiotics along with skin repair. The Argentium silver MONOLISA uses is made in the USA and is ethically sourced silver. To learn more, read: What is Argentium Silver?
