bronze ring

Copper-alloy loop

A bronze ring is a ring made of bronze—an alloy of copper and tin with a characteristic warm, brownish-gold color.

Bronze rings are less expensive than gold or silver and develop a distinctive patina over time.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively as a lesser prize, below the gold and silver rings: He didn't win the championship, but walked away with the bronze ring.
