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.

    I ordered it three weeks before my wife's birthday and it came in five days, so there was no anxious week. This was the design that combined both preferences. We both got excited when we saw it in person. It's beautiful, feels great to wear, and looks fantastic with my watch.

    Two years on, that is right, and the difference from the flat one is that this catches light along a line rather than across the whole face. I chose The Vale after looking for a quieter wood-inlay ring. The domed shape was a better match for me than a dished face. My fiance keeps telling me how well it suits my style, and I completely agree.

    At a dinner in April someone had a Blue Nile band with a flat face and we compared. I like that it can read as a simple band until someone looks more closely. We've taken a few beautiful photographs together, and the ring looks fantastic in them.
