Hers
A channel machined into brushed titanium and filled with solid 9ct gold, flush with the surface and hallmarked at Birmingham. Choose yellow, rose or white gold across a 4mm to 8mm band. Real gold on the face of the ring at a fraction of what a solid gold band costs at today's price.

A channel machined into black zirconium and filled with solid 9ct yellow gold, flush with the surface and hallmarked at Birmingham. Black and gold is the pairing every plated ring tries to imitate; here both are the real metal.
His on its own pageAbout this pair
A line of solid gold runs flush down the centre of both rings; what surrounds it is where they part. Gold line, titanium sets the gold into brushed titanium, a cool grey that lets yellow, rose or white gold sit softly. Gold line, black sets 9ct yellow gold into satin black zirconium, where the same line becomes a sharp bright stripe against the dark. On two hands the inlay is the thread between them: one ring pale and understated, the other bold, both carrying real gold on the face rather than a gold colour.
Gold line, titanium is the lighter of the two, titanium being the lightest metal in the range, with a choice of 9ct yellow, rose or white for the inlay. Gold line, black is black zirconium with a 9ct yellow inlay only, the pairing of black and gold done in the real metals. Both have a satin finish, both carry solid gold rather than plating, and each is sold as a ring in its own right.

Since the black ring comes only with yellow gold, a couple who want their inlays to match will choose yellow on the titanium ring too. Rose or white on titanium breaks the match on purpose, keeping gold as the common thread while letting each ring take its own colour. Two people who each want black, or each want titanium, may prefer the same design twice.
