This listing is to have your own hand made ring made out of Stainless Damascus Steel.

As the ring is stainless, it won’t rust or tarnish, and the ring complies with the nickel directive and we have certification to prove it is hypoallergenic and safe for long term wearing.

The Damascus steel has been chemically etched to give the unique pattern. On this particular ring it has a dark etch to give a nice contrast and to really bring out the pattern of the Damascus steel, but it can also be made in a much lighter etch if preferred.
We can change the finish on the ring, from a plain/ matte finish as pictured, to a polished, hammered or even sandblasted finish instead. The last photo on this listing helps to show these finishes side by side, with a sandblasted ring on the far left, a plain/ matte ring in the centre, and a polished ring on the right with a polished inside on the ring. If you wish to see further examples of any of these styles, then please feel free to get in contact.

The inside of the ring can be left with the Damascus ring (as pictured) or given a highly polished finish, which allows for engraving. If you wish to have any of these changes made, please write these into the comments box.
If you wish to add engraving please see our link for this here:

Due to the nature of Damascus steel no two rings will ever be the same so every ring is truly unique. With this in mind please be aware that the pattern and depth of shading on your ring may vary slightly to that shown.
All the rings are photographed in natural light to give as much of a true picture as we can, however how dark we can get a ring does vary with the different batches of steel so if you are after a dark etch, we will do our best but please keep in mind that it can vary from the photo and we cannot guarantee it will be as dark.

For sizing we recommend going to a professional jeweller and having them size you, alternatively we can post out a ring sizer to you.
These rings can be made to any UK size, but you are unsure of the conversion for your size to UK sizes, please just write your size of ring you are after and the country into the comment box and we can make it direct to your international size, which saves any conversion problems.

Our rings come as a traditional fit, however if you would prefer a comfort fit or in a ring in a size or width not listed, please just write your preferences in the comments box, or get in contact with us.

We are asking to please allow around 3 weeks for the rings to be crafted, however it can be longer during busy periods, particularly the summer months, so if you require your ring quicker then if you please contact us for further information. We can at times offer a rush order service, however we are not always in a position to be able to, so please check first and we can let you know what our current turnaround time is for rings and what we can offer.

All rings posted will be sent tracked and a signature will be required on delivery wherever possible.



We care about our environmental impact, so we have made our products Eco-friendly where we can.

Jewellery Boxes:
We use Eco-friendly jewellery boxes, which are FSC®-certified.
The glue, paper and cardboard used in the production of this jewellery box, are all 100% eco-friendly.
Each box is stamped with the ECO-logo at the base of the box and has the FSC®-logo stamped underneath the foam.


Paper:
We have reduced our paper usage and waste by switching to our in-house database system, removing the need for printed copies of orders and long paper trails.
We also use recycled paper for printing.

Packaging:
For our jewellery we use Jiffy green strong durable packaging.
This packaging is fully Compostable, and it contains 100% recycled paper fibre cushioning.
The packaging is less wasteful, and also fully recyclable itself too.
This packaging is strong and durable, but it is also lightweight, and therefore reduces the carbon footprint of it.
For our larger crafted items we reuse our delivery boxes and packaging where possible to cut down on waste.
We also use Eco-mailing bags for posting our larger items, which are produced from sugar cane.
Not only are these bags fully recyclable but they are carbon neutral.
The carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere in the growing process offsets the carbon dioxide emitted through production and transport.
These bags have no compromise on the strength or quality, and are an eco friendly alternative to standard polythene bags.

Materials:
All our materials used such as wood, whiskey barrel etc are all locally sourced where possible, and from renewable well managed sources.

If you have any questions or wish to speak with us regarding alternate designs, then please feel free to drop us a message. We usually always will get back to you the same day, but if we don't it will be very soon. It will usually be myself (Gill) responding to messages to allow Sam the time to make rings, but it may also be Sam himself if I am unavailable. We are not a big factory but a small family business, and each ring is hand crafted by Sam himself.
Thanks for looking!
