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.

Surgical Steel
Surgical Stainless Steel offers a minimalist look with a clever design twist. Its ultra-thin walls were intentionally crafted to keep the metal profile low — since it's not scratch-resistant, there's barely enough surface to notice wear. The result is a lightweight, comfortable, and hypoallergenic ring core that keeps the focus on the wood, not the shine. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths, it’s perfect for those who want subtle strength without the bulk.
Black Ceramic
Black Ceramic is the ultra-lightweight, ultra-black choice for those who want sleek durability without the shine. Technically made from titanium carbide, this material is highly scratch-resistant and hypoallergenic — perfect for everyday wear. Unlike plated metals, its deep black tone runs through its entire composition, so it won't tarnish or fade over time. While it’s the most brittle option, its toughness holds up beautifully when treated with care. Also available in 4-6-8mm widths.
Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten Carbide is the heavyweight champion of durability — ultra scratch-resistant, incredibly tough, and built to last a lifetime (or two). With its beautiful dark tone and substantial feel, this is the most metal-dominant design in the collection. Why? Because with tungsten, there’s no need to worry about wear — it shrugs off daily abuse like a pro. Often called theforever metal, it’s perfect for those who want a bold, enduring ring that stands the test of time. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths.
TUNGSTEN & CERAMIC
FACETED
Faceted rings are available in Tungsten Carbide and Black Ceramic. These rings feature a geometric, angular surface that plays with light in striking ways, adding depth and boldness without being flashy. Whether you choose the ultra-durable weight of tungsten or the sleek, jet-black ceramic, the faceted texture gives each piece a modern, sculptural feel. Available in 6mm and 8mm widths, they're perfect for those who like their style sharp and their materials even sharper.
TUNGSTEN & CERAMIC
HAMMERED
Hammered Design Rings take the faceted look to a bolder, more organic level. Available in tungsten carbide and black ceramic, and in 6mm and 8mm widths (+4mm in tungsten), these rings feature fewer, larger angled surfaces for a rugged, sculpted feel — almost like the ring was chiseled by hand. Paired with a thin, asymmetrical wood inlay, the contrast is striking: raw texture meets refined detail. It’s technically a faceted ring, but it doesn’t play by the rules — perfect for those who like their jewelry with a bit more attitude.
PLATED TUNGSTEN
GOLD & ROSE GOLD
PVD Plated Tungsten Carbide rings combine the ultra durability of tungsten with the luxurious tones of gold and rose gold finishes. Thanks to PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) plating, the color isn't just beautiful — it's also highly resistant to wear, hypoallergenic, and built to last through everyday life. These rings keep their shine without compromising strength. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths, they're perfect for those who want the bold elegance of gold, without the softness or maintenance of traditional metals.
DAMASCUS STEEL
Damascus Steel Rings bring a sense of timeless craftsmanship to a modern form. Made from lightweight stainless steel, these rings are forged by layering and twisting metal to create mesmerizing wave-like patterns — no two pieces are ever the same. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths, they strike a beautiful balance between strength and artistry. With their subtle texture and natural variation, Damascus steel rings are perfect for those who want something truly unique, yet understated.
STERLING SILVER
Sterling Silver rings offer a timeless, luminous shine with a soft, elegant touch. As the softest option in the collection, silver develops a natural patina over time, giving each ring a character that evolves with you. Its bright tone complements wood inlays beautifully, and while it's more prone to surface wear, that's exactly what makes it charming — the more you wear it, the more it becomesyours. Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm widths, and custom sizing is possible upon request for a truly personal piece.
