Prices include UK delivery and engraving. Weights are estimates for a plain 6mm band at UK size N with a 1.6mm wall (how they are worked out); the solid gold bands carry the maker's own weight on each ring's page. Surface hardness is on the Mohs scale, where a higher number resists fine scratches better.

A hammered surface catches light as many small highlights rather than one long reflection. Against black zirconium the facets read as points of light on dark; on titanium they shimmer grey; in gold they glow. Some designs add a line of gold or a blue groove through the texture, or edges cut back to bright metal around it.

Texture is also practical: everyday marks show less on a surface already full of small changes of angle than on a smooth polish. Every ring is made in your size, and each page shows its widths.

About hammered rings

Does a hammered ring show scratches?
Less than a smooth one. Fine marks blend into the texture, so a hammered ring keeps its look longer than a polished band.
Which hammered rings make a pair?
Hammered black sits beside Relieved black, Hammered black, dome pairs with Hammered black, bright edges, and Hammered black, colour line pairs with both Colour line on black and Colour line, all black. Each pairing has a set page showing the two together.
What metals are the hammered rings made in?
Black zirconium, titanium, anodised zirconium and solid gold. Each ring's page names its metal, widths and finish.
