This ring features a hand-stamped alien on a circular disc, perfectly sized for daily wear. It is available in jeweler's brass or sterling silver.
Ever miss your home planet? Grow weary of Earthlings? Need a little reminder that you're not the only weirdo in the galaxy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this ring is for YOU. It's also perfect for gifting to your other weirdo friends and always comes shipped in a hand-stamped gift box.
This ring begins its journey into the universe as a sheet of brass or sterling that is cut into a circle in my small studio. Next the little alien dude is stamped and a band is soldered. Finally this ring receives a patina and is polished to a reflective shine. When the little alien dude gets his assignment to your house he enters a gift box, then a bubble mailer, then a mail box where he remains dormant for 3-7 days until reaching his destination.
Jeweler's brass is a quality alternative to the much more expensive gold that it imitates. You can also upgrade your ring to sterling silver for a small charge. This bad boy is all polished up to a shiny finish for his new home but over time tarnishing will occur. A quick wipe with a polishing pad is all you need to bring life back to your ware but if you are in a bind simply submerge it in a squirt of ketchup and buff off. You can add a polishing pad to your order here through the "add on" tab.
This ring is available in a few pre-made sizes. Because these were created in a larger batch they are discounted from the regular price and are ready to ship. If you would prefer a custom size or sterling silver please allow up to 3 weeks for your alien friend to be born.
Want a custom ring but need it sooner? An inexpensive rush order option can be purchased through the "add on" tab.
As mentioned above, this ring is the perfect daily accessory. It is casual, fun, and looks great with other rings. This piece almost imitates a signet style ring, which I think is pretty cool. My personal favorite way to wear my alien ring is on my pointer finger with other mix matched rings. It makes me feel playful and like I'm being true to my dorky self.

Your jewelry is finished with a water proof sealant before it ships. Over time the sealant may wear off and need additional polishing/resealing. Some ways to keep your jewelry looking sparkly and new include:
-Do not store your jewelry in a humid area such as a bathroom
-If you live in a humid climate consider storing your jewelry in an enclosed case, bag, or box to preserve the shine
-Avoid water, hand sanitizer, and chemicals as much as possible
-You can polish your jewelry easily with a polishing pad (available as an add-on) to make it look new again or if you are in a bind ketchup is commonly used. Just submerge your jewelry and buff off.
-A common home remedy to lacquer jewelry is clear nail polish
-You can always contact me
For sizing your fingers I definitely recommend consulting a local jeweler or purchasing a cheap ring sizer online. If you are unable to size your fingers as mentioned here are some other considerations:
The most common sizes I sell are
6 (slightly smaller than average)
7 (average)
8 (slightly larger than average)
If your fingers are very thin your size may run from 4-5
If your fingers are larger you may consider a 9-10
For men's sizing you can typically add two sizes.
You can also cut off the sticky part of a post-it note and wrap around your finger, marking where the ends meet. Measuring the post-it note in mm and converting (or messaging me) should give you a pretty accurate size.
Standard packaging for rings include a plastic capsule filled with styrofoam confetti in a hand-printed bubble mailer.
Standard packaging for necklaces include a hand stamped card-stock tag in a clear plastic protective sleeve that is shipped in a hand-printed bubble mailer.
Also available upon request (in your order notes) are hand stamped gift boxes.
For bridal parties or events feel free to message me about custom packaging for your order.
There are many factors that affect metal such as hormones, sodium levels, and personal allergies. For that reason I can not confidently say that the brass will not turn your finger green. With that being said, it is more common that people have no reaction for the following reasons.
Brass does contain a small amount of nickel (which turns your fingers green). While I am heating the metal a lot of the nickel comes to the surface and is removed in the polishing phase. Additionally your jewelry is sealed with a water-proof wax that serves as a barrier from your skin and protects the shine of your piece.
If you are concerned about an allergy to brass you may consider sterling silver which very rarely causes a reaction.
