Description

Own a piece of Motor City history with this authentic vintage sterling silver "Old English D" ring, handcrafted by the legendary Detroit artisan Maui Rick.

This specific ring is a quintessential example of his celebrated work, weighing a substantial 8.7 grams and featuring the recognizable Old English D that serves as a bold badge of Detroit pride.

The ring is a size 7 and showcases Rick’s signature sculptural style, which gained national exposure on programs like All Girls Garage and featured prominently in Hour Detroit magazine.
