Cat ring

This ring is a reproduction of a ring made in Ancient Egypt, around 1390 BC. The original was made out of Egyptian faience, which is a kind of silica-based ceramic. 

The cat is likely a depiction of the goddess Bastet, who was the goddess of motherhood and the home. 

I've made a broad range of sizes! The cat is the same size on each ring, so please see the pictures for an idea of how this looks on different band sizes. 

The band is mostly round, but I have flattened the inside and the outside a little for comfort. I made the cat's upper body lean back a little to avoid getting caught on things, but it still the kind of ring that should be worn with caution during certain activities. 

Band thickness: 2.5mm

Band Width: 3mm

Cat size: 11x14mm

Materials

This ring is made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
