This may sound strange to some, but I like to keep the dark patina on some of my sterling silver rings. I often buy them that way. Why? Sometimes a piece is so shiny, it's distracting, and not in a good way. So I use a silver ring with patina to bridge the world of old and new. Use this ring as the perfect tool to do just that. Works like a charm.
To care for rings like this, clean with a lint-free cloth.
