About this piece
Buddha head ring with tight curls and a serene face, in silver or gold
A calm face, in silver or gold. This ring is a Buddha head in steel, the hair in tight curls over a rounded crown, the eyes lowered, the ears long and a small dot on the brow, sitting on a plain band. The silver version has the recesses darkened so the curls read; the gold-toned version is warm throughout and reads as a temple ornament.
It is the quietest of the figure rings in the collection, and the two finishes are two different rings: the silver is a portrait, the gold is an icon.
The name, Nyorai, is the Japanese title for a Buddha, the one who has thus come, and the ring is his face.
The ring is stainless steel, cast as one piece about 20 mm high, the silver version darkened in the recesses and the gold-toned version plated over the steel. The band is plain and polished.
Wear it on the index or middle finger of either hand, and on its own. The silver goes with anything; the gold goes with black, and with the gold-detailed pieces in the range.
The curls are the detail: they are modelled as the tight snail-shell curls of the temple statues, each one a separate dot, and they cover the crown in rows. The ears are long, which is how a Buddha is always shown.
From across a table it is a silver or gold face on a hand. From close the curls show their rows, the eyes their lowering, and the brow its dot. It is the ring for someone who wants the calm.
Every ring in the collection is photographed on the same pale ground at the same scale, so the pages compare with each other: what looks big here is big on the hand. The measurements given are taken across the face, not round the finger.
Steel does not tarnish (the gold-toned finish is a plating and will soften with years of wear), does not turn a finger green and does not mind water, so this ring can be worn in the shower and the sea and wiped dry after. A soft cloth is all the care it needs; the darkened recesses are a finish, not dirt, and they stay.
Sizes are given as the inside circumference in millimetres: 56, 57, 59, 62, 63, 64, 67, 70. Wrap a strip of paper round the finger where the ring will sit, mark where it meets, and measure the strip flat. If you are between two sizes and the ring is wide, take the larger; a wide band needs more room than a thin one.
Questions about the japanese rings
What is a Japanese ring?
A ring built on Japanese imagery: dragons, koi, guardian lions, temple deities, sutras and Sanskrit seed syllables, helmets and masks. Most are sculpted in the round rather than set with stones.
How do I find my size?
Sizes are the inside circumference in millimetres. Wrap a strip of paper round the finger, mark where it meets and measure it flat. For a wide band, take the larger of two sizes. Open bands are one size and adjust by hand.
Are they silver or steel?
Both, and each page says which. The silver rings are sterling silver stamped 925 inside the band; the steel rings are stainless steel, some with a black or gold-toned finish. Neither turns a finger green.
Are they made in Japan?
No. They are a Japanese design, made in Asia. We say so on every page.
Will the dark finish wear off?
The darkening in the recesses is deliberate and stays; the high points polish with wear, which is how the relief is meant to read. Gold-toned and black coatings soften over years of daily wear.
How do I care for them?
Wipe with a soft cloth. Silver darkens with time and a silver cloth brings it back; take silver off for the sea and the shower. Steel can be worn in water and dried after.
What we sell, and what we don't
Japanese designs, made in Asia. Cotton, linen or polyester as stated on each piece, never silk. We say so on every page, because the alternative is selling you a word instead of a garment.
