NGL that ring looks like it’s straight up made from MS Paint circa 1995

It's obviously been painted over and the word "Copper" in the text is replacing some other word that was there before. But I have no idea what it was before.

Maybe it was hematite, which "absorbs negative energy" according to some people. It's about the right amount of space.

Yeah, and it's also a brittle material known to break when turned into rings. So yeah, believe it

I suppose when you make a ring out of natural rust it will break in not too long

...that's part of the genius for me
