A brushed silver centre stepped down to polished gold edges, with the gold carried through the interior.
If you’re not sure about your size, no problem. We can send you a ring sizer first so you can find the perfect fit. Just let us know your size once you have it, and we’ll ship your band right away. You can keep the sizer!
Every band is comfort fit, with a gently rounded interior so it passes the knuckle more easily than a flat-profile ring. Comfort-fit bands usually run about a half size larger than standard, if you are between sizes, take the smaller one.
Not sure? We’ll send a free sizer first, and you keep it.
Free US shipping on every order, dispatched within one business day. Returns are accepted for 60 days, no questions asked. If you chose the free sizer, your band ships as soon as you send us your size.
Three free replacements, for any reason at all, lost, broken, or simply the wrong size. No receipt hunting and no argument. How it works.
Warm water, mild soap, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes: tungsten carbide does not need them and they can dull a brushed finish. Remove it before heavy lifting. Tungsten is very hard, which means under extreme force it cracks rather than bends.
It's been on daily for fourteen months in a size 12 and the fit has not shifted through either season. Nothing else to report, which is what I wanted.
My last band was a plain 11 with square edges. This is an 11 with beaded edges and it sits closer at the base. The beading is struck, not cast.
Here in four days on my wife's order, sized to a 10, which went on at the base first go. The beading is even the whole way round with no gap where the tool would have lifted.
Two years of daily wear before commenting. It runs about 14 grams and balances flat. The milgrain beading along both edges is still distinct rather than worn to a ripple, which is the thing that usually goes first on a detail like that.
Out of the box it weighed more than I had assumed for something with a fine edge detail, around 14 grams, and it balances rather than rolling. The beading is struck into the metal rather than applied as a separate wire.
My brother ordered it in a 12 off a size I gave him and it's fit at the base since the day it came. Over the knuckle without soap, which is more than I could say for the last one.
First wore it to a funeral. It was the right level of detail for that, quiet from a distance and only visible close up, and it has been on for everything since. Two years now.
Eighteen months of daily wear in a size 11 before I would comment. The beads on the underside have flattened slightly and the ones on top have not, which means the detail is holding where it shows.
I bought it for my husband about two months before our September wedding, a size 12, and it fit without any messing about. He has worn it since. My one reservation is that the beaded edge collects a little soap if he does not rinse properly.
Day one the beaded edge felt rough under a thumb, almost like a file. By the end of the week it read as texture rather than roughness. Size 10, close at the base, and the beading runs unbroken with no join visible.
Size 10, close at the base. At a dinner in November the woman next to me spotted the beaded edge and asked whether it was antique, which it very much is not. Fine compliment though.
Wore it to a wedding in Yorkshire. My old titanium band had no detail at all and nobody ever mentioned it, whereas two people asked about the beaded edge before the speeches were done. That is the practical difference.
