Rose Gold
Often known as the most "romantic" metal, rose gold is an extremely popular metal choice for those looking for a feminine or luxurious touch. The combination of copper and silver creates its darker hue. By adding a larger portion of copper to the ring, the "rose" tones in the metal will become more apparent.

Tungsten
Tungsten jewelry is a popular metal choice in fine jewelry due to its durability and longevity. Tungsten is combined with carbon and other elements to form an alloy that is 10 times harder than gold.

Titanium
Similar in color to platinum, titanium is a silver-grey metal that boasts incredible strength without added density and weight. Ideal for those with allergies or skin sensitivities, titanium is 100% hypoallergenic.

Dinosaur Bone
Agatized dinosaur fossils are used in order to create the unique style and look of our dinosaur bone rings. In order to create the ring, the original form of the fossilized bone is either replaced or re-mineralized with compounds such as agate, opal, jasper and chalcedony. With this process, it creates a beautifully patterned dinosaur bone inlay that has become extremely popular for men and women alike.

Damascus Steel
Damascus Steel rings are made by hand in order to recreate the metalsmithing, ancient techniques used in making traditional samurai swords. The combination of heating and twisting stainless steel layers creates the unique and vivid patterns seen in Damascus Steel.
Our unique Damascus Steel Rings are hand-forged to create strong and bold patterned bands.
Zirconium
Zirconium is easily one of the most popular choices of metals when it comes to alternative colors.
Zirconium is naturally a silver-grey color. In order to create its black coloring, when heating zirconium, a layer of black oxide forms upon the metal. Though it is very thin, this black layer is much harder than raw zirconium, allowing the metal to become more durable.
Elysium
Elysium Rings are made from real crushed diamonds that are engineered into an extremely durable, scratch-resistant material. Diamond crystals are fuzed together under extreme heat and pressure and pressed so tightly that light cannot pass through. This process gives Elysium Rings its signature black color.
As hard as a diamond, because it is a diamond, Elysium Rings are a bold statement loved by all.
