Chunky Roman Coin Replica Ring – One of a Kind – Handmade Brass – Lost Wax Carved Statement Piece

A sculptural brass statement ring, hand carved in wax and cast using the traditional lost wax technique. Inspired by ancient Roman coinage, the design reinterprets historical currency as a contemporary artefact, carrying a sense of weight, memory, and time.

The coin face is entirely hand sculpted in wax rather than derived from an existing coin, preserving its originality while evoking the relief, texture, and irregularities of antiquity. It is paired with a bold hammered band that reinforces its presence and introduces a raw, timeworn character.

Maker’s Note

“Roman coins have always fascinated me — the weight of them, the faces pressed into metal, the idea of something passing through countless hands over time. I wanted to preserve that sense of continuity in a contemporary object, as if it had already lived a long history before reaching the wearer.”
