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 captures the tactile weight and worn character of historical currency, reinterpreted as a contemporary wearable artefact. The coin face is entirely hand sculpted in wax rather than taken from an existing coin, preserving its originality while echoing the textures, relief, and imperfections of antiquity. It is paired with a bold hammered band that enhances its presence and adds a raw, timeworn finish.

Maker’s Note

“Roman coins have always fascinated me — the weight of them, the faces pressed into metal, the idea that someone carried this in their hand thousands of years ago. I wanted to make something that holds that same feeling. Something you can wear.”
