LIMITED TIME WE ARE OFFERING A FREE UPGRADE WHERE WE WILL ADD SAMURAI SWORD FRAGMENTS TO THIS RING DESIGN! *Samurai Sword Fragments comes with certification of authenticity!*
This ring is one of the most interesting rings we have made!
The Meiji period is a truly significant shift for Japan as it is an era of Japanese history that extended from October 23, 1868 to July 30, 1912. The Meiji era was the first half of the Empire of Japan, when the Japanese people moved from being an isolated feudal society at risk of colonization by Western powers to the new paradigm of a modern, industrialized nation state and emergent great power, influenced by Western scientific, technological, philosophical, political, legal, and aesthetic ideas
We were lucky enough to grab a gorgeous Late 18th Century antique Japanese Cloisonné enameled vase from a local auction after it was initially damaged when transported from Japan. In our eyes, we don't see damage. Instead, we found a unique opportunity to utilize the pieces and allow the artwork to live on through our rings in this limited edition creation!
Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects with colored material held in place or separated by metal strips or wire, normally of gold or bronze. In recent centuries, vitreous enamel has been used, but inlays of cut gemstones, glass and other materials were also used during older periods.
This ring is made up of crushed enamel fragments and brass shavings from the aforementioned vase and accented with authentic Samurai sword fragments found in Aizuwakamatsu from the Meiji Restoration period 19th century Sourced by one of our partners History Hoard! Underneath the enamel we have matched the enamel with a light blue and red glow powder mixed with diamond dust to really make the ring stand out!
We utilize premium glow powders from Techo Glow. Each powder is meant to last and continue to glow for years to come! Each ring that glows uses Daytime Glow Powder. This Powder remains colorless until it is in the dark. Rings will glow and charge naturally by sunlight alone. Please note that colors that are darker on the spectrum such as red and purple will not glow as brightly as ones such as white or aqua. Current colors we offer are Purple, Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Aqua and White (Least bright to brightest). If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!

The only thing we ask is that you are patient with us if your ring contains extremely rare materials such as T. Rex bones due to scarcity or supply shortages.. All you have to do is send back the ring and we will handle the rest!

We work with you on incorrect sizing! We always highly recommend that you go to a jeweler and have the finger you wish to wear the ring properly sized! Too much of an inconvenience? We will mail a ring sizer to your doorstep for free! Please just message us and ask. No strings attached. Keep in mind that ring sizing can change sometimes depending on how hot or cold it may be which can cause shrinking or swelling of the fingers.

We will invoice you via email and once it is paid, we will put your ring in the queue for remake. Our timeframe still applies to remakes at roughly 1-3 weeks).
Why can’t you just resize the ring instead? Due to the inlay and components, stretching or cutting a section out is not possible without completely damaging the rest of the band.
Why do we use tungsten and ceramic bands? Tungsten and Ceramic are incredibly durable, scratch resistant and hypoallergenic. Although they are very tough, These rings can still be cracked off incase of medical emergencies. Please note that dropping your ring on incredibly hard surfaces such as ceramic tiling or granite countertops can result in the ring cracking as well.
