3) Bario Neal - $270
Senna Round Ring with Black Enamel
We're excited to feature Bario Neal, a jewelry brand renowned for its commitment to sustainability and transparency. Founded with a dedication to environmental responsibility and human rights, Bario Neal crafts each piece using 100% recycled or Fairmined-certified precious metals and ethically sourced gemstones, ensuring that elegance doesn't come at the expense of our planet.
Senna Round Ring with Black Enamel - $270
The Senna Round Ring with Black Enamel exemplifies Bario Neal's fusion of contemporary design and sustainable craftsmanship. This ring features a sleek, circular band crafted from recycled precious metals, adorned with a striking black enamel inlay. The enamel detailing adds a modern flair to the classic silhouette, making it a versatile piece suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Considerations:
The ring is made from recycled precious metals, such as gold or silver, which reduces the environmental impact associated with traditional mining. The black enamel is a glass-like material fused to the metal surface through a high-temperature process. While enamel provides a durable and vibrant finish, it is more delicate than metal and can be damaged over time through impact with hard surfaces. Bario Neal offers repair services for enamel jewelry, with a standard re-enameling fee of $65. Individuals with metal sensitivities or allergies should inquire about the specific metal composition to ensure compatibility with their skin.
