This is a custom hand made stainless Damascus ring with an 18 carat white gold centre inlay.

We are proud to only use high quality single mine origin gold (SMO). This SMO certification means your gold can be traced on its whole journey. It is responsibly sourced, exceptional quality and comes from legitimate mining operations, with no ties to conflict. The local community benefit too. The gold will be hallmarked too, meaning you can be 100% confident that only the finest materials are used when crafting your ring.
When choosing to buy one of our stainless steel products, you can feel reassured that it is classed as a green product, as it is 100% recyclable. It is not coated with any toxic materials and does not produce any toxic run off. Its environmental impact is minimal when compared to other materials.
It complies with the nickel directive and so is hypoallergenic and safe for long-term wearing (as a wedding ring should be!). As the Damascus is stainless the ring is safe to take with you into the shower or even swimming.

You can customise the gold widths at the check out. The ring in the first 4 photos has a 7mm width with a 1.5mm white gold inlay, whilst the next 2 photos are of a ring with a 4mm width, and a 1mm gold inlay.
The second to last photo shows a variety of gold rings next to one another, from a 1.5mm wide gold inlay on an 8mm wide ring on the left, down to a 1mm wide inlay on a 4mm wide ring on the right. The last photo shows the three sizes next to each other: rose gold inlay with 1mm wide gold inlay, white gold inlay is 1.5mm and the yellow gold is 2mm wide

The ring in the first photos has a 7mm width and a 1.5mm white gold inlay. The next photo is a ring 3mm wide with a 1mm wide white gold inlay, and the last two photos shows the various gold colours and widths next to one another; a 1mm wide gold inlay on the rose gold, a 1.5mm wide inlay with the white gold, and a 2mm wide inlay with the yellow gold.

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 bring out the pattern which is similar to wood grain. It can also be made with a much lighter etch if you prefer just send us a message or add your preferences to the comments box when ordering.

The inside of this ring is polished to a very bright finish giving the ultimate in comfort and is ideal for subsequent engraving. If you wish to add an engraving to your order please see the link below:

Alternatively If you prefer not to have the inside polished if you send us a message or add it to your comments box and we can have this changed for you.

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 jewellers and having them size 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 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 require a ring in a size or width not listed, please just write your preferences in the comments box, or get in contact with us.

As we care about our environmental impact, 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 our invoices.

Packaging:
We use Jiffy green strong durable packaging. This packaging is made entirely from recycled materials, which not only means the packaging is less wasteful, but it is also fully recyclable itself too. Another benefit of this packaging is that it is lightweight, and therefore reduces the carbon footprint of it.

Gift wrapping:
The gift wrapping we offer uses hemp twine and paper tags rather than plastic ribbons.
We have removed the use of plastic tape on our products, and instead now use strong Eco-friendly tape to seal packages. This tape is is FSC responsible sourced, fully recyclable, and contains biodegradable adhesive.
We are very pleased to introduce too our new range of wrapping paper: we are switching to an eco range of gift wrap, which is made from 100% recycled paper, which has not been bleached, it is printed with environmentally friendly vegetable based inks, contains no plastic packaging, it can be fully recycled, it is 100% compostable, and the designs are lovely.


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!
