Custom Ring Consultation
Consultations are available for custom ring designs and are conducted by phone (up to 45 minutes).
To schedule a consultation, a non-refundable deposit is required. This deposit goes directly toward your custom ring if you choose to move forward with the build.
Consultations are complimentary up to 45 minutes when proceeding with a project
The deposit secures your time and ensures availability
If you decide not to proceed after the scheduled consultation, the deposit is retained to cover time spent
We respect your time and ask the same in return—this helps ensure every consultation is focused, productive, and tailored to your design.
Please take a moment to review the information provided below before your consultation. This will help streamline the conversation, avoid unnecessary overages, and allow you to gather clear, reliable ideas—reducing confusion from the wide range of opinions and information often found online.
Please not the core selection when making the order is not set in stone right away, this is just a starting point before the phone consultation.
Selecting your core materials
Choosing the right core material for a ring is essential for durability, comfort, appearance.
Stainless steel
Titanium
Extremely lightweight, strong
Corrosion-resistant
Hypoallergenic.
Very comfortable for long-term wear due to lightness.
Custom finish options, matte or brushed finishes, high polished (not chrome).
Ceramic (technical ceramic)
Very hard, lightweight, scratch-resistant, hypoallergenic.
Relation to rings: Contemporary look and very wear-resistant; brittle relative to ductile metals, so resizing is not an option and impact can crack on high impact. Inlays typically bonded into grooves.
Tungsten (carbide)
Exceptionally hard and scratch-resistant.
Heavy duty wait, strongest durability for every day use.
Holds polish for a long time and resists daily wear.
Can shatter under severe impact.
Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine.
18k Gold-plated tungsten
Properties: Tungsten core with a thin gold plating layer; combines tungsten hardness with gold appearance.
Relation to rings: Attractive gold finish at lower cost than solid gold but plating can wear off over time; underlying tungsten resists scratches.
Will not flake as this is chemically bonded not electroplating.
Damascus steel
Properties: Pattern-welded steel with striking layered patterns, moderate hardness depending on steels used, good edge retention in tools.
Relation to rings: Beautiful, unique patterning and very popular for inlay and core work. Can be hardened or stabilized; may require treatment to prevent corrosion depending on constituent steels. Resizable only with effort; prone to surface wear if untreated.
Solid hardened silver (sterling with hardening treatment)
Properties: Softer than steels but hardened for greater strength than standard silver, naturally tarnishes over time like all silver and will require cleaning with silver cloth, recommend getting one at checkout if you don’t have one at home.
Relation to rings: Warm, traditional look, more prone to scratches and dents than harder metals. Ideal for intricate inlays; requires periodic polishing or anti-tarnish finishes.
High-voltage cable (recycled cable core)
limited core configurations available 8mm width only.
if you are alergic to copper do not get this ring, it may include a protective layer on the inside but not suitable for hypoallergenic.
Properties: Copper and copper-alloy strands encased in insulating materials; when refashioned into ring cores, offers unique visual texture and electromagnetic-conductive character.
Relation to rings: Produces distinctive, industrial aesthetic and can be stabilized and sealed for wear; requires careful encapsulation/protection to prevent corrosion or skin reaction. Not a mainstream core for heavy wear without robust stabilization.
Hardened gold 10k, 14k, and 18k alloys, heat-treated (More expensive then standard gold)
Properties: Ductile but can be alloyed (10k, 14K, and 18K).
Relation to rings: Classic, excellent for traditional inlays and stone settings. Higher karat gold (22K, 24K) is softer and less suited for heavy-wear rings, 10-14 is recommended for strength.
Hardened Gold is more expensive than standard gold due to the processing, ring is cut from solid bar not cast, this give it significantly more strength, this option is only for some one that is truly passionate about the core material inside and out.
Bronze and brass (Limited availability, mostly for informational purposes)
Properties: Copper alloys with warm tones; more malleable and can develop patina or verdigris.
Relation to rings: Affordable, distinct colour; softer than steels and may tarn
