A jeweller's bench with a ring mandrel, files and a loupe in morning light

Birmingham Jewellery Quarter

Made in Britain, the whole way through

Cut, set, finished and hallmarked by benches that have been doing it in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter for the better part of two centuries. Precious metal is assayed and marked before it leaves them.

How it is made

Anodised zirconium

Colour made by voltage

Nothing is painted, plated or dyed. Zirconium grows its own oxide under electrical current, and the thickness of that film decides the colour. What you are looking at is the surface of the metal itself.

See the Colour line

The spectrum

Every colour is the same metal

Raise the voltage and the film thickens, and the wavelength it cancels moves along the spectrum. Teal, violet, amber, rose. One material, no pigment, and none of it can wear off because there is nothing on top.

How anodising works

Black zirconium

Cut back to bright metal

Heated in air, the same metal turns genuinely black. Machine that black away in lines and the pale zirconium beneath shows through. A plated ring wears through at the knuckle. This has nothing to wear through to.

How it is made

Hand finished in Britain, one ring at a time

Every ring is made after you order it, in your size, in the width and finish you chose. That is why it takes a fortnight, and it is the reason the choices are open at all.

01

Chosen

Metal, width, finish and colour. If you are not sure, six questions and the metal chooser will tell you, including when the answer is not to spend more.

02

Made

Cut, finished and hallmarked in Britain. Precious metal is assayed and marked before it leaves the bench, and every ring is engraved inside at no charge.

03

Checked

Every ring is looked at and photographed before it is boxed, so the piece you open is the piece we saw. Posted insured and signed for.

04

Kept

A hundred days to change your mind, and a lifetime guarantee after that. Size changes and accidental damage are both covered, free, for as long as it is yours.

An open ring box held in two hands in warm afternoon light

Made to order

Built for one hand, and one hand only

Your size, your width, your finish, decided by you rather than by what a case happened to hold. It takes a fortnight and it is the reason every choice on the site is actually a choice.

Start with the range
Six zirconium bands in a row, each with a wide anodised channel in a different colour: blue, violet, turquoise, bronze, pink and yellow

Six colours, none of them paint

The colour is the metal, not a coating on it

Zirconium grows its own oxide under electrical current and the thickness of that film decides the shade. A plated ring wears through at the knuckle in a year or two. This cannot, because there is nothing sitting on top to wear away.

How anodising works

The questions we get asked

Can I try a ring before I buy one?
Yes. We will post you a free ring sizer, and on request a sample band in your chosen material so you can feel the weight and width before you commit. Neither costs anything and neither obliges you to buy.
How long does a ring take?
Two to three weeks. Every ring is made in your size after you order rather than picked off a shelf, which is the reason we can offer widths and finishes a stock shop cannot.
What happens if the size is wrong?
We replace it, free, for as long as you own the ring. Contemporary metals cannot be stretched the way gold can, so replacement rather than resizing is the honest promise, and at our cost of making it is also the better one.
Will the colour wear off an anodised ring?
There is nothing on top to wear off. The colour is an oxide layer grown out of the metal itself by electrical current, not a coating applied over it. A deep scratch can reach past it, and we will refinish that free.
Do you sell gold?
Yes, in 9ct and 18ct, along with platinum and palladium, all hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office. Gold is on the menu, it is simply not the only thing on it.
Where are the rings made?
In the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, by a manufacturer who has been hand finishing titanium and zirconium there since 1999. Coloured stones are sourced individually and set to order.
