This design features a heavily hammered cross hatched texture that has been hand forged, with many deep hammer bows. Which gives the ring a deep rustic 3D texture, that is then accentuated by an oxidised finish. As each ring is forged by hand, the pattern on every ring will be unique. . The inside of the band is contoured to give a 'comfort fit' which allows the ring to slide over the knuckle easier than a standard flat inside. This ring is stamped on the inside with our company logo stamp and a simple '935' stamp, which denotes its higher silver content than standard 925 sterling silver.
The ring is then oxidised (blackened) to help bring out the hammered texture, which is then complimented by a brushed matte finish inside and out. This will also mean any stamps and/or engravings will also be black inside the ring and will therefore stand out more. While fairly durable the oxidised finish can wear down over time with daily wear, however will stay in the low spots of the texture, to give a more rustic look to the ring. This finish is suitable for those who may not want the bright shine of polished silver.
This ring is made of Argentium silver (935). Argentium Silver is a higher grade of silver than traditional sterling silver, offering much better tarnish resistance as well as being harder and more durable. Argentium silver is an alloy containing 93.5% fine silver (1% higher silver content than standard sterling silver). Argentium silver is also made of 100% recycled metal.
Please select the width you would like your ring to be, this ring is available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm widths. The rings shown in the photos are 6mm wide and 4mm wide. The thickness of the ring will vary from roughly 1.6mm to 1.9mm.
You can choose to purchase the ring as is or I can engrave a message on the inside of the ring for you. Most rings can be engraved with a maximum of 25-30 characters (including spaces) depending on the size of the ring. However particularly small sizes may not be able to fit this many, likewise larger rings may be able to be engraved with a few more characters. We use traditional diamond drag engraving which gives a deeper brighter cut than laser engraving, however does somewhat limit the amount of characters and fonts we can offer. We can only engrave english alphabet A-Z, numbers and the following special characters ( ♡ , . & - / ' + ° ).
We offer 3 different engraving fonts:
Font A - Bold capital letters and numbers, approximately 1.5 mm in height simple and clear to read, good for longer engravings as this font can fit the most characters.
Font B - Italic capital letters and numbers, approximately 2.5mm in height clear to read but better suited to wider bands, however will still work on bands as small as 4mm.
Font C - Script capital and lower case letters and numbers, capital letters are approximately 2.5mm in height and lower case letters 2mm. Traditionally most words will start with a capital letter followed by lower case letters for the rest of the word. However you can choose to have your entire engraving in full capitals or all lower case if you would prefer.
Please see photos in the listing for examples of all the fonts we offer (all fonts are shown engraved on 6mm wide stainless steel). Please message me to find out more information regarding engraving. PLEASE NOTE: ENGRAVED RINGS CANNOT BE RETURNED, REFUNDED OR RESIZED.
