Amber is fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. The amber used in our rings is approximately 44 million years old, and comes from the Kaliningrad Region of Russia, on the Baltic coast. We use high quality translucent Baltic amber in our rings.
Ring pictured is ceramic. Rings are available in titanium, cobalt chrome, black ceramic, tungsten carbide, carbon fiber, and Damascus stainless steel. We occasionally have access to other options as well, such as sterling silver and other metals. Please feel free to contact us for custom options. Please see other rings in our shop for examples of the various metals available.
Titanium: Very light weight and durable. Gunmetal color. Moderately scratch resistant.
Cobalt Chrome: Brilliant color, comparable to platinum or white gold. Highly scratch, chip, and corrosion-resistant.
Tungsten Carbide: Dense and heavy. Virtually unscratchable. Gunmetal colored. Extremely hard, but can chip or break if shocked.
Ceramic (Titanium Carbide): Lightweight and durable. Highly scratch resistant. Will retain its dark black color forever. Like tungsten, ceramic rings can be chipped or broken under extreme conditions.
Carbon fiber: Ultra light, ultra strong composite material used in high end sports cars, aircraft and aerospace applications. Carbon fiber has a visual and tactile texture to it due to its manufacturing process, which involves compressing layers of woven carbon fibers and resin. While carbon fiber is very strong, it scratches easier then the metal and ceramic cores, but small scratches don't stand out on it.
Stainless Damascus steel: Beautiful and best complex patterning and texture make this an eye-catching choice. Stainless steel is strong and tarnish resistant, but is more susceptible to scratching than some other options. Please note, due to cost we do not stock these ring cores, and will order your Damascus ring blank when you place your order with us. The craftsman that hand makes them is in Europe, and it typically takes about a week to get the blank in before we can start making your ring.
Please note, due to the wide variety of ring sizes we offer, we may not have a ring blank in your size in stock. Typically, we can have the ring blank in hand in just a few days, but please allow 7-10 days for production and mailing of your ring. We will do our very best to keep you informed of any issues or delays in production of your piece.
If you are interested in a ring with an inlay material you provide, we would love to talk over the possibilities with you and put together a quote. We can inlay a wide variety of materials. Sand from a memorable beach trip? Check! A mineral or shell important to you? No problem! Ashes of a beloved pet? Yep, we can do that! Just let us know what you're thinking and we can make it happen.
Please remember, these items are hand made, and appearance will vary from piece to piece and may differ from the sample picture.
We are more than happy to answer any questions you might have. A top quality product, and top notch customer service are our priorities!
