Valène Ring

Our new jewelry collection incorporates small brass frames from mid-1800s Daguerreotype and Ambrotype hinge cases that once framed faces whose names are forever lost.

When we come into contact with the past through old journals, well-worn objects, family stories, &c, we are altered by them and them by us. The same is true in the making and experiencing of objects that incorporate elements or stories from the past. What seems immutable is, by dint of our footfalls in the dusty attic, made different.

As the rings stack, new journeys unfold. With All the Names we offer the possibility to wear a fragment of someone’s history that changes yet again when a ring slips onto your finger, or a pendant around your neck.

DETAILS:

Size 10 rings are custom-made, and may take up to 2 weeks to ship.

Resizing

We will resize silver and bronze rings at no charge once (buyer is responsible for return shipping to our workshoppe) and for small fee for any additional resizings. For resizing of gold jewelry, put email us at info@pegandawlbuilt.com. Gold rings sent back for resizing must be fully insured. Peg and Awl is not responsible for lost or damaged packages.

Gold

All gold jewelry is custom-made per order and may take up to 2 weeks to ship. Gold jewelry is not returnable.

Bronze

Many people experience a greening effect when they wear bronze, brass or copper jewelry. Our recycled bronze rings are treated and sealed to lessen tarnishing and skin discoloration, but eventually the treatment will wear off. The simplest way to re-seal is to use clear nail polish.
