Hers
Laser cut into the surface to a controlled depth, so the pattern has real relief and shadow rather than being a dark line on a flat face. One of several Celtic patterns we can cut; this is the one we would start with.

The same knotwork as the titanium Celtic, cut into black oxide so the pattern reads as matte black on black until the light catches the relief. The hard oxide helps the detail resist fine scratches, but harsh contact can still mark the surface. Drawn to pair with the titanium Celtic.
His on its own pageAbout this pair
The same continuous knot is cut into both rings, and the metal changes how it reads. On Celtic, in satin titanium, the knot shows through relief and shadow, pale grey with darker recesses. On Celtic, black, cut into black zirconium, the pattern is almost hidden, matte black on black, until light catches the edges of the cut and the knot appears. Drawn to be worn together, the two show one design by day and by dusk: open on one hand, discreet on the other.
Celtic is titanium, the lightest metal in the range, with its knot laser cut to a controlled depth. Celtic, black uses the same knotwork in black zirconium, whose hard oxide helps the fine detail resist scratches. Both are satin, both run from 4 to 10mm, and both are hypoallergenic. Either makes sense alone: the titanium ring for a band you barely feel, the black one for knotwork that keeps itself to itself.

The difference in feel is real. Titanium is markedly lighter than zirconium and takes fine marks more readily, while the black oxide is harder. A couple choosing one of these for a single hand might decide on weight; choosing for two, the pairing gives each person the version that suits. Matched widths emphasise the shared pattern, and different widths suit fingers of different sizes.
