By

The handmade Dante ring is available for purchase on Etsy for $224.10.

“Here is my artistic sculptural homage to Dante Alighieri author of Dante’s Inferno. A very detailed ring with lots of renaissance styled floral scrolls adorning the work and a very accurate depiction of Dante the poet. Certainly a stand out art piece that will get noticed at any party. The ring is very comfortable to wear, it’s 20 mm wide at the top part of the band and 8 mm wide at the bottom of the band. The ring is over 45 grams of silver. A one of a kind piece for a literature or poetry lover, anyone who loves the arts.”    –cerriousdesign
