This handmade sterling silver bypass ring is a reminder to never surrender to life's battles such as beating cancer, conquering a challenge, or completing an endeavor against insurmountable odds. To further reinforce the idea of remaining strong in the face of adversity, while also giving the ring a quality appearance and more massive feel that one would expect from high end jewelry, the ring band was cut from thick 16 gauge sterling silver instead of flimsier 20-22 gauges.

After stamping the flat sterling silver band one letter at a time with Don't Surrender, the band was placed diagonally on a steel ring mandrel and hammered into a perfect ring using a nylon mallet. The edges were filed smooth and rounded for a comfortable fit with smooth contours and the lettering darken with a black patina to emphasize the stamped text against the vibrant metallic glow of burnished sterling silver.

Measuring approximately 1/2 inch long, 5 mm wide, 1.25 mm thick and having a standard ring size 7 with easy adjustment for smaller or larger fingers, this bypass ring will fit many medium sized fingers. Such a classy ring deserves a classy fit, therefore I encourage you to order this ring in your exact size by entering your ring size, ring diameter, or finger circumference in the Paypal notes or text my cell. You can also request additional text such as a name or use this listing to create your own customized ring.
