ASTRA CIRCLE RING
There is something about a circle that refuses to be ignored.
Not because it is perfect. Because it is complete.
This ring began as a flat sheet of silver and a piece of brass, and somewhere between the hammer and the flame it became something else entirely. The two metals found each other the way opposites always do: reluctantly, then inseparably.
The granules along the surface are not decoration. They are the evidence of process, tiny spheres fused one by one, each one a decision made in real time. You cannot rush it. What you see is exactly what happened.
Worn, it sits on the finger with the quiet authority of something that has already decided what it is.
ADJUSTABLE FIT
This ring has an open band. It is not designed to be forced into a different size every morning: the band has some give, but it is forged metal, not elastic.
For the best fit, please tell us your approximate ring size when ordering. We will personally confirm the fit before your ring is shipped.
Over time, the open band allows for a gentle adjustment when needed. Today's index finger may become tomorrow's middle finger. That's not a flaw. It is a ring made to travel with you.
Not sure about the fit? Leave your usual ring size in the order notes — we'll take it from there.

CARE
Silver will patina over time. Brass will too, faster and warmer. This is not damage.
This is the piece becoming more itself. Polish when you want shine. Leave it when you want character.
Store separately. Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, and chlorine.
ONE OF A KIND
Made once, never repeated.
When this piece finds its owner, it's gone.
I don't replicate my work.
