HYPOALLERGENIC POWDER COATING IS NOW AVAILABLE

(Your Ring or one I've made you!)
COLORFUL SECRETS: Why does my finger turn green from my ring or my jewelry stain my skin? An educational video regarding this matter has been created for our customers to better understand why this occurs, how this occurs, and how to prevent it by using a quality oxidation protectant like Hyposealer Protectant (as shown in this ad) here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k28VqEJUb4
This is an add-on service I've been doing for my clients for a while now and a brand-new service not provided by anyone else (to my knowledge). Hand-Crafting rings particularly soft precious metal rings such as silver and gold coin conversions, I tried to find a way to lengthen the lifespan of the art in my rings. Jewelers clear coat was always the common go to and I still to this day put it on nearly all the rings I make free of charge to my clients "BUT" what about those who have sensitive skin allergies but always wanted to wear copper jewelry or want to protect their purchase and help prevent scratches and dings? This may not be 100% when it comes to that but it sure does help!
I burn through my rings because I wear them daily while working with heavy machinery making them for my customers. My rings rarely last me more than 6 months on average but about 3 years ago I tested a special blend of transparent hypoallergenic powder coating that is applied through electrolysis and baked on in an oven at around 500F.
It took a while to perfect the process without discoloring my rings but once I nailed it, I was excited! I tested it on my own rings first. I've since done this process for precious Krugerrand Gold Coin Rings, Signet Rings, Custom bands with soft inlays like wood, bone and antler, and such.
▶ Some of my rings come with a professional jeweler's clear coat free of charge, and some receive discounted pricing on higher-end (expensive) bands, but for most items, this is the price for items the size of a ring or smaller. Anything larger needs a quote so message me along with a picture of your item preferably next to a dollar bill so I can get a good idea of its size before purchasing.
▶ 3-YEAR LIMITED GUARANTEE: Hypoallergenic Powder Coating is a process by which the ring is powder coated in a clear permanent seal that, unlike jeweler's clear coats, lacquered or others will not yellow, peel or crack. If it does, you have a 3-year limited guarantee from the time of purchase to return it to be refinished or replaced free of charge (excluding shipping charges) limited to just one complete refinishing/replacement during that period. This is a lot like insurance and a sweet safety net. If you feel you need more insurance than this, we do have insurance policies that will cover more than this but you'll need to contact me for a quote if you feel it is necessary in order to protect your valuable item(s). *Note that this only applies "IF" you purchase this service separately from your item(s). If you received the Hyposealer "FREE OF CHARGE", then you are not covered by this 3-Year Limited Guarantee. You simply received the Hyposealer itself free and nothing more, implied or otherwise.
▶ Perfect for those who worry about their bands, bangles, and jewelry rusting, oxidizing, turning your fingers a different color, or having to worry about skin allergies to certain metals. This resolves all these things and gives your ring a nice additional layer of protection as well.
▶ It doesn't have to be a ring I made. You can send me your ring and I'll apply this to your band as well!
▶ Watch a video on how the sealer is applied and what it looks like here...

IMPORTANT TIPS TO BE AWARE OF:
1. Water isn't going to hurt, damage, or blur the transparency of the Hyposealer alone however showering or washing hands often introduces soaps, detergents, or other chemicals found in conditioners and shampoo, swimming introduces high chlorine and/or salt, and hand sanitizers expose it to high alcohol content which acts like a stripping agent and "those may cause issues" so the best practice of care is to just "Keep your ring dry". The only thing you should ever need to do is if you tend to sweat a lot and you are wearing your ring, using a microfiber cloth with regular unchlorinated water you can lightly wipe the ring down to remove the salt and high pH your body produced.
2. Again, as mentioned above and like with any solid silver or gold ring (or other jewelry), this precious metal is "SOFT" and not a hard metal so if you are tapping on your desk, running your hands down a staircase railing, squeezing a metal handle at the gas pump with your ring finger, these kinds of things you may not think of can easily scratch or damage your soft metal ring and Hyposealing is intended to "help prevent oxidation by separating your skin from the metal". It does not make your ring scratch or ding-proof in any manner although it may help prevent or help as putting a hard shell around your band is in fact, far better than nothing at all, and just having an open precious metal band with no protection at all.
