Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions about Rings

• Why do you only offer Stainless Steel, Black Ceramic and Carbon Fibre rings?

  Currently, our rings are made of three materials: carbon fibre, black ceramic, and stainless steel. These materials are carefully selected because they are non-allergenic, making them perfect for people with sensitive skin.

  We will be adding Titanium and Tungsten mid 2023.

• What is carbon fibre and why is it a good material for rings?

  Carbon fibre is a material made from thin strands of Carbon, tightly woven and then set in a resin to create a strong, durable material. It is an excellent choice for rings because it is lightweight, incredibly strong, and scratch-resistant. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a safe choice for people with sensitive skin.

• What is black ceramic and why is it a good material for rings?

  The black ceramic used for our rings is not the same as ceramic pottery.

  Ceramic rings are entirely different and it’s fancy name is Titanium Carbide. 

  Titanium carbide is a strong and heat-resistant substance that occurs naturally. It’s not a metal, but it’s often used to make heat guards in space shuttles because it can withstand high temperatures. When manufacturers heat it to very high temperatures, it becomes ceramic.

  It is incredibly hard and scratch-resistant, making it a great choice for rings that will be worn frequently. It is also non-allergenic, making it a safe choice for those with sensitive skin.

• What is stainless steel and why is it a good material for rings?

  Stainless steel is a durable, corrosion-resistant alloy made of steel and other metals. It is hypoallergenic and has a sleek, modern look that makes it a popular choice for rings. It is also very affordable, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget.

• Can I wear these rings in the shower or while swimming?

  All of our Stainless Steel, Black Ceramic and Carbon Fibre rings are water-resistant, but if that core has  a wood band, or certain gemstones, we don’t recommend that you wear them in the shower, swimming pool, or ocean.

  We also recommend that you take your ring off while using harsh chemicals or participating in activities where the ring could get caught or damaged.

• Can these rings be resized?

  Due to how the rings are handmade, they cannot be resized, so it’s essential to make sure you order the correct size. 

• How do I determine my ring size?

  The best way to determine your ring size is to visit a local jeweler and have them measure your finger.

  We can also send you a ring sizer in the mail if you are placing a custom order.

• Why should I buy a handmade ring?

  There are several reasons why someone might choose to buy a handmade ring over a mass-produced one:

  • Unique and Personalized: Handmade rings are one-of-a-kind and can be customized to suit the buyer’s individual style and preferences. A handmade ring is a personal and unique piece of jewelry that can be tailored to the individual’s taste and personality.

  • Quality and Craftsmanship: Handmade rings are crafted with attention to detail and are often of a higher quality than mass-produced rings. The artisan takes the time to ensure that each ring is made to the highest standard, using high-quality materials and techniques.

  • Supporting Independent Artists: By purchasing a handmade ring, you are supporting independent artists and artisans who have dedicated their lives to creating unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry. Your purchase helps to support small businesses and individuals who are passionate about their craft.

  • Eco-Friendly: Handmade rings are often made with eco-friendly materials and processes, making them a more sustainable choice than mass-produced rings. Artisans are often more conscious of their environmental impact and take steps to reduce waste and use sustainable materials.

  • Story and Meaning: Handmade rings often come with a story or meaning behind them. They can be made with special materials, incorporate sentimental items or have a special design that holds significance to the buyer. A handmade ring can be a treasured item that holds sentimental value for years to come.
