Sizing

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.

Shipping & returns

Free US shipping on every order, dispatched within one business day. Returns are free within 60 days of delivery: we email you a prepaid return label, no questions asked.

Forever Fit Plan

Three free replacements per order, for any reason: lost, broken or the wrong size. Size exchanges are free and do not count as a replacement. There is no time limit. No receipt hunting and no argument. How it works.

Care

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.

    The gold line is my favorite detail. My fiance noticed it immediately too, so choosing this was an enjoyable decision for both of us. It's looked good in the pictures we've taken during our wedding preparations, especially with my hand beside his.

    The off-center gold line looks fantastic against the black. We love The Striker! It looks fantastic on my hand, and my partner keeps saying it's exactly my style. It's comfortable to wear throughout the day and has such lovely detail. We're really happy to have chosen it together for our wedding.

    We picked this during an evening going through wedding ideas together. My fiance liked the warm line, and I liked the brushed black around it. It was lovely trying the real ring on afterward and seeing those details on my hand.

    This was an enjoyable decision to make while planning our wedding. I liked the gold set across the brushed black, and my partner noticed the line's placement immediately. We tried our bands together at the kitchen table. Having both of our choices there made the ceremony feel close.

    My wife remembered I'd been admiring black accessories with little gold details and chose this for my birthday. I enjoy the line being off-center. It's a thoughtful present that looks right with my regular clothes, and she was pleased seeing me wear it out with her that evening.

    The warm line looks nice with the small gold details on my watch. I wore the two when we went for coffee, and my partner took a quick picture of my hand around the cup. It's lovely having that ordinary moment attached to a band we chose together.

    I chose The Striker because the gold doesn't divide the face evenly. That slight imbalance makes the design more interesting to me. The little detail looks beautiful up close. My wife loves seeing it on me, and I'm really pleased with it.

    Emily S.

    My partner chose the same design when I asked which picture she liked for me. That made picking it especially enjoyable. I love the brushed black and the gold line, and it's looked lovely with my everyday clothes.

    I have had it on since our March wedding, which included rebuilding a kitchen. I wanted something that looked considered with an ordinary shirt. The single warm line was enough for me. It looks great with everyday clothes and with my wedding suit. I'm very happy to have chosen something so personal.

    We'd both remembered this ring when we went back through our saved pictures. That made choosing it a happy moment. It looks smart with the suit I've picked, and I enjoy wearing it with ordinary shirts while we get everything ready for the ceremony.

    I like the flat-looking silhouette from the side. It gives a fairly simple color layout a stronger overall outline. The ring looks fantastic from every angle. I'm really pleased with it and enjoy wearing it throughout the day.

    We chose the ring together over a quiet weekend. My partner liked the color, and I enjoyed the placement of the line. Having it ready has been a lovely reminder of that happy part of our wedding planning.

    I wear mostly neutral clothes, so a small warm accent was enough of a change. A completely gold-looking ring would have felt less like me. I put it on with my usual clothes as soon as it arrived and loved how it looked. My fiance agreed it was a great choice. It's comfortable and feels like a beautiful addition to my favorite things.

    My fiance picked the design himself, and I enjoyed giving it to him. He liked seeing the offset line in person. It's lovely hearing him explain the choice to someone who asks about his wedding band.

    Ordered three weeks before our June wedding and it came in five days. For our wedding, I chose this over an entirely gold-looking band. The black face felt more natural with what I usually wear. It felt very special putting it on for our ceremony. I'm delighted with the choice we made together.

    I enjoy the offset gold detail against the brushed face. My fiance was pleased seeing the design on my hand, particularly with the jacket I'd picked for our ceremony. We kept a picture from that afternoon. It's a lovely reminder of a decision that felt personal to us both.

    Two years of daily wear later it has not needed anything. I like the defined profile more than the rounded rings I had previously tried. The ring feels great on my hand. My partner and I both love seeing it in our photographs together.

    The accent doesn't need to be large to make a difference. My partner has been so complimentary about it. It's lovely seeing how much she enjoys the ring as well.

    The pipe-cut shape was part of what appealed to me. I enjoy the defined outline with that warm line across black. My fiance liked the actual ring even more when I wore it with the rest of my wedding outfit.

    For our engagement pictures I wore a blue shirt and this band. The gold looked lovely against the darker face in the close shots. My fiance particularly liked one picture of our hands on the table, and it's become a favorite little record of our choices together.

    Under a lamp you can see the cross-hatch runs at forty-five degrees in both directions rather than straight across, which is why it catches light from any angle. This was a change from the plain dark band I wore before. My wife was so excited when we saw it in person.

    Kayla C.

    My husband picked this from the rings we'd saved, and I could see why. He likes a fairly clean shape with one interesting detail. Trying it on made him so pleased, and he went straight to find his watch to wear with it.

    Linda S.

    I gave this with a card about the year we'd shared. He was excited seeing the offset detail and wanted to try it straight away. It's nice having a ring that makes him happy for his own reasons.

    I would pick it again for the simple arrangement. I don't need an inlay or a pattern when the two colors are placed this way. The detail is beautiful, and it looks fantastic with the things I enjoy wearing.

    Amanda T.

    I like the warmer color in a mostly dark ring. It relates nicely to a detail on the bracelet I wear often. My husband chose well for our anniversary, and it's been lovely wearing a thoughtful gift from him.

    Under a thumb the cross-hatch still catches in both directions after a year. The brushed face keeps the black fairly restrained. The gold is the brighter detail I wanted people to notice up close. My partner says the combination suits me perfectly, and I agree.

    Maria F.

    We both liked the off-center gold detail when we first saw the pictures. I put the actual ring on with my everyday watch, and The Striker looked right straight away. My fiance says it's very much my style, which is lovely to hear about our joint choice.
