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.
The hand crafted rings from the circular cluster collection are the perfect elegant accessory to complement any personal style. Each lightly textured ring is one of a kind, designed in 14k gold filled metals.
What makes the MONOLISA sculpted ring collection unique? Each design is an extensive process of hand sculpting, soldering, hammering, sanding, buffing, and polishing to create a high quality piece you can wear for years to come. The ring is handcrafted by Bay Area artisan, Lisa Ramos, in Clayton, California.
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.
Gold filled jewelry has an actual layer of gold pressure bonded to another metal. It contains 100% more gold than plated jewelry, making it significantly more valuable and tarnish resistant. Gold filled jewelry does not change color and has the same appearance as high karat gold.
The video below captures some of the steps that go into making a MONOLISA ring.
