From coin to ring

Every ring starts as a real coin.

  1. Hand-picked coin. Chosen for its condition, detail and story.
  2. Punched and annealed. A hole goes through the center, then heat softens the metal.
  3. Stretched to your size. Slowly shaped into a band, keeping the coin's lettering.
  4. Finished by hand. Aged or polished, inspected, then shipped free.

Rings in action.

Fresh off the bench, on real hands and out in the world. Our newest Facebook posts show up here on their own.

Just off the bench

A Gold Eagle, polished.

A ring made from a one ounce American Gold Eagle coin, polished to a bright shine. Gold rings are made one at a time by request.

One coin, two sides

The Price of Liberty, with a secret inside.

This ring is made from a one ounce .999 fine silver round. “The Price of Liberty” and the eagle wrap around the outside, and “Don’t Tread on Me” sits on the inside. Want the rattlesnake on the outside instead? We make it that way too.

Golden dollar

The Sacagawea ring, in warm gold tones.

Made from a Sacagawea golden dollar. The coin's golden color carries into the ring, with “United States of America” around the band.

A coin ring with a story behind it.

Some of these coins were in someone's pocket more than a hundred years ago. Each one is hand-picked and shaped into a ring sized for you. We're a small, family-owned shop, and every ring still goes through Dave's hands.

“When I am working with a coin from the late 1800's or early 1900's I often imagine the coin in an old settlers pocket or tossed up on the saloon bar for a shot of whisky and a bath.”
David Hartman · Owner and ring maker
How a coin becomes a ring

Five steps, all by hand.

  1. Hand-picked. Each coin is chosen for its condition, detail and story.
  2. Punched. A hole is punched through the center.
  3. Annealed. The coin is heated and quenched so the metal can be shaped.
  4. Stretched. It's slowly shaped into a ring at your size, keeping the coin's detail.
  5. Finished. Smoothed and polished by hand, then inspected before it ships.

Shipping & returns

Shipping

Shipping is free on every order within the U.S.

Every ring is made to order, so please allow 2–3 weeks for us to make yours. Each ring is inspected, carefully packed and shipped with a tracking number. After it ships, please allow about 5–7 days for delivery.

If making your ring will take longer than 2–3 weeks, we'll contact you with an updated time. In a hurry? Contact us before you order so we can make sure we have your coin in stock.

International orders: yes, we ship outside the U.S. There is an extra shipping fee, so please email us or call before you order and we'll tell you the cost.

We stand behind every ring with an unconditional 30-day guarantee. If you're not completely happy with your ring for any reason, we'll gladly replace it or give you a full refund within 30 days of purchase.

To start a return or exchange, email Ringsbykai24@gmail.com with your order details.

Jewelry, not bullion

Our rings start as coins, but making a ring removes some of the coin, including the hole in the middle. That changes its weight and form, so we don't guarantee the weight or metal value of any ring. You're buying handcrafted, wearable art, not a collectible coin or its melt value.
