Step 1
Core Materials
The foundation of every ring is its core — this sets the tone for durability, feel, and style. Here’s the lowdown:
Surgical Stainless Steel (316L)
Sleek, hypoallergenic, and ultra lightweight. Designed with thin walls because it’s not scratch-resistant — but here’s the secret: there’s so little metal visible, you’ll barely notice a scratch. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths.
Black Ceramic
Ultra-light, super black, and seriously stylish. Technically made from titanium carbide, it’s highly scratch-resistant, hypoallergenic, and keeps its black tone forever — because it’s baked in, not painted on.
Tungsten Carbide
The heavyweight champ. Dense, ultra-scratch-resistant, and beautifully dark-toned. The most metal-dominant design, known as the “forever metal.” Worry less about wear, and just live in it.
Sterling Silver
Bright, beautiful, and full of character. The softest option — but that’s the charm. It wears in, not out, and develops a unique patina over time. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths — custom sizing available.
Damascus Steel
A lighter-weight choice made from folded stainless steel layers. Each one features its own subtle waves and patterns — no two are exactly alike. Offered in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths.
PVD-Plated Tungsten (Gold / Rose Gold)
Durable, hypoallergenic, and luxurious. The PVD plating is extremely resistant to wear — available in stunning gold and rose gold in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths.
Faceted / Hammered Designs
Available in ceramic and tungsten cores in 6mm and 8mm widths. The Faceted has many tiny reflective faces, while the Hammered keeps it rough and rugged with fewer, larger surfaces and a minimalist wood inlay.
Step 2
Width
Ring width makes all the difference — it’s not just about looks, it’s about comfort too. Here’s what I suggest:
4–5mm: Best for smaller hands or more delicate fingers. These narrower designs darken the appearance of the wood — choose a lighter inlay to brighten it up.
6mm: The Goldilocks width. Most popular, universally comfortable, and showcases the wood beautifully.
8mm: Offers more visual presence and stability (especially if your knuckle is wider than your finger base). Skip this if your finger base is the thickest part — it may feel too snug.
Pro tip: Want additional inlays or more wood drama? Go with 5mm+ widths so the design can breathe.
Step 3
The Wood
Over 50+ wood options await — from wild and bold to calm and classic.
Stabilized Wood:
Infused with resin for maximum durability and wild, vibrant colors. Think greens, blues, neon reds — it’s wood, but upgraded.
Raw Wood:
Natural, honest, and timeless. These are classic wood tones — warm oaks, deep walnuts, mysterious ebonies, and fiery cocobolos. Each one changes slightly over time, creating a beautiful patina that reflects your journey.
Can’t decide?
Pick the color and brightness first — that’s what you’ll see every day. Let the grain surprise you.
Step 4
Waterproof Coating
All wood inlays come protected with a hard, crystal-clear acrylic coating — tougher than epoxy and won’t yellow with sunlight.
Polishable: Any scuffs from daily wear can be buffed out.
Low maintenance: Just avoid harsh solvents like acetone or paint thinner, and it’ll last beautifully for years.
Everyday warrior: Rain, showers, climbing, office work — bring it on. Just skip it before a manicure or painting project.
Step 5
Size
Getting the right size is tricky, but don’t panic:
I offer free exchanges if the size is off.

Otherwise, grab the sizer for accurate home measurement.
Keep in mind: wider rings (like 8mm) feel tighter than narrow ones, so adjust accordingly.
