Loving Day Ring - RIGHTS

Ring

b-side

We were very surprised to learn via the Huffington Post that a “Louisiana justice of the peace said he refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for any children the couple might have.” (oct 2009)

This Sterling Silver (%92.5 pure silver) ring is a creative response/reaction to this news and comes in various sizes (if you dont see your size please email us. The numbers are the case ID of “Loving v. Virginia”, a decision by the U.S. Supreme court that legalized interracial marriage.

learn more about “Loving v. Virgina” – Washington Post 1, NPR, Washington Post 2, Loving Day,
