Zaire is a split shield brass ring — the face is divided, creating two overlapping planes that give it a bold sculptural presence on the finger. Also described as a split face ring or sculptural statement ring for women. Molten brass poured into a hand-pressed sand mold — the casting process that's shaped metalwork across cultures for thousands of years, and still leaves every piece unique.
Solid recycled brass, finished with a nano ceramic e-coat for superior durability and resistance to tarnishing, water, and sweat. An invisible protective shield you wear, not a coating you see.

Care & FAQ +
What's the metal?
Solid brass with a nano ceramic e-coat for protection. Genuine, not plated.
Will it tarnish?
Highly tarnish resistant. The nano ceramic e-coating shields the brass from air and moisture that cause oxidation.
Will it turn my finger green?
No. The e-coating creates a barrier between brass and skin, preventing discoloration — and makes the piece hypoallergenic and nickel free, safe for sensitive skin.
Is it waterproof?
Water resistant, not waterproof. Fine for daily wear and hand washing. Remove before swimming or soaking to protect the coating long-term.
What happens over time?
Over time, the coating may gradually wear thin — revealing the brass's own warm natural patina, a beautiful evolution that's unique to your piece. Prefer the original shine? A soft cloth polishes it back in seconds.
