Gaea Patina Ring is named after the goddess of earth and its personification. Part of the Patina Collection +++ Due to the Patina process each piece is one of a kind and made to order. Will send picture of your unique handmade piece before shipment. We like to do this because each ring is unique and never the same. The patina is applied to the metal and is then sealed for protection. Sometimes the patina will flake a little bit off in some areas at first. Please be understanding of this process if it does happen.
