Product Overview
A deep black IP finish covers every surface of this concave stainless steel band, giving it a presence that polished silver or gold tones simply cannot match. The cross motif sits cleanly against that dark ground, and the inward curve of the concave profile adds a shadow line that makes the design read with quiet confidence.
Stainless steel brings genuine durability to the piece, resisting tarnish, rust, and the small scratches that accumulate with daily wear. The interior is engravable, leaving room for a date or a few words that turn a well-made ring into something that carries real meaning.

Precious Metals
14k Gold (Most Popular) — 58.3% pure gold. The ideal balance of durability and color richness. Available in yellow, white, and rose gold. The standard choice for fine jewelry and everyday wear.
18k Gold (Premium) — 75% pure gold. Richer color, preferred for heirloom and engagement pieces where purity and depth of tone matter most.
10k Gold (Everyday Value) — 41.7% pure gold. The most durable gold alloy. Ideal for active wearers. Stamped 417 inside the band.
Sterling Silver (925) — 92.5% pure silver. Cool-toned and elegant. Best for occasional wear; develops a warm natural patina over time.
Platinum — Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally durable. The premium choice for those with nickel sensitivities or who want a ring built to last generations.
Alternative Metals
Stainless Steel — Extremely durable, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic. Maintains its polish with minimal maintenance. A popular choice for mens wedding bands and everyday rings. Does not tarnish or corrode.
Cobalt Chrome — Four times harder than platinum and naturally white. Cobalt chrome rings are virtually scratch-proof, lightweight, and permanently polished. An excellent alternative to white gold for those who want lasting brilliance without rhodium replating.
Titanium — Exceptionally lightweight and incredibly strong. About 45% lighter than steel, titanium is hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant. A practical choice for active wearers who prefer a lighter ring without sacrificing durability.
Tungsten Carbide — One of the hardest materials used in jewelry. Tungsten rings are highly scratch-resistant and hold their polish indefinitely. Heavier than gold or titanium, which many wearers prefer for the substantial feel. Cannot be resized.
