Metal Guide

Whats your metal?

Tungsten Carbide • Heavy  • Very Strong  • Ion Plated     Tungsten rings are known for their heaviness and strength (10x stronger than 18k gold and 3x stronger than titanium). They never lose their shape and are the number one alternative to traditional metals. Due to tungstens dense composition, all rings must be plated to give them their impressive colours and shine.   ✔️ Lifetime Replacement Guarantee

Titanium • Light  • Strong  • Ion Plated     Titanium rings are extremely light weight and strong. They are resilient and hard to crack. Most titanium rings are hypoallergenic, meaning they typically don’t cause a reaction on sensitive skin. All of our titanium rings are plated to give them their brilliant colours and finish.   ✔️ Lifetime Replacement Guarantee

Ceramic • Light  • Strong  • Ion Plated      Ceramic rings are a very strong and hard-wearing alternative to traditional metal rings. Sharing the best qualities of Titanium and Tungsten, they are: light-weight, durable, and hypoallergenic. Made from Titanium Carbide, they are not to be confused with fragile ceramic pots and plates.

925 Sterling Silver • Light  • Soft  • Hypoallergenic      Our 925 sterling silver rings are made from 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy, making them superior in quality and design. Sterling silver rings are: light-weight, lustrous, and hypoallergenic.

Resizing

Due to the strength and nature of tungsten, titanium, Damascus, ceramic, and silicone rings, they cannot be resized. If a new size is required, an exchange will be required. 

*It is possible to have sterling silver rings resized, but please note we do not offer a resizing service. If a new size is required, it will need to be via an exchange.

Scratch Resistance 

We want all visitors to be wary of jewellers claiming their rings are scratch proof or near impossible to scratch. Whilst raw metals like tungsten and titanium are very tough, the plating used on all rings is not scratch proof. We use a process known as ion plating, this type of plating is what gives our rings their vibrant colours and also their deep blacks. Ion plating offers great resistance and protection for rings, but like all plating it can scratch if enough force is used. For anyone who wants to wear their rings "hard" we would recommend a companion silicone ring. Please note, we do not offer a re-plating or repair service. 

*Scratching is an inevitable part of owning and wearing any piece of jewellery. It is not considered a manufacturing fault or covered under a warranty. Care should be taken to care for and protect your item.

Plating & Fading

All tungsten, titanium, Damascus and ceramic rings are plated to give them their impressive colours and shine. Just like true gold, sterling silver, and platinum plated rings, this plating will tarnish over time. How fast that happens depends on how the ring is worn and handled. We strongly advise against handling corrosive liquids (e.g. acids and paint thinners/strippers), or wearing your ring if handling abrasive materials (e.g. barbells and concrete). Please be wary of any jeweller that claims their tungsten or titanium rings will not tarnish over time. Please note, we do not offer a re-plating or repair service. Should your plating become tarnished, we offer our Lifetime Replacement Guarantee for pre-made tungsten and titanium rings (excluding Custom and Made To Order rings).

*Fading and tarnishing is an inevitable part of owning and wearing any piece of jewellery. It is not considered a manufacturing fault or covered under a warranty. Care should be taken to care for and protect your item.

Engraving

We do not offer an engraving service to protect our customers right to make a return. But, all of our rings can be engraved and we highly recommend laser engraving. Laser engraving will provide the cleanest and most desirable results. Due to the strength of our rings, we do not recommend traditional pen/hand/etch engraving as it can lead to poor legibility and comprise the strength of your ring.

Breaks/Cracks/Chips

Tungsten, Titanium, Damascus and Ceramics rings are all made with very dense and extremely hard materials. This great hardness means they will not bend no matter how much force is applied. If a ring is crushed or ejected with significant force the metal will instead crack or chip. This makes these rings ideal and safe for anyone who finds themselves in an accident. Unlike gold and other soft metals, these rings will not bend, warp or crush fingers in the event of mishap.

Resin Insets

Many of our rings that contain a featured inset (e.g wood, opal, meteorite, turquoise, carbon fibre, gold fleck stripes) are coated in a clear resin. This resin protects the inset and enhances it appearance. But like all resin, it will yellow over time. Exposure to the sun, other sources of UV light, heat and chemicals will speed up this process so extra care should be taken to prolong the clarity of the seal.
