About this pair
Gold line, titanium and Hammered black, gold line, side by side
A flush line of solid 9ct gold runs down the centre of both rings, and around it one ring is calm and the other restless. On Gold line, titanium the inlay lies in brushed grey titanium with an even satin surface. Hammered black, gold line sets it into black zirconium struck by hand, with bright polished edges, so the gold runs straight through a field of individual dents. Side by side, the gold line is the steady element on both hands, smooth on one ring and framed by texture on the other.
Each ring on its own
The titanium ring is the light one of the two, with the inlay in yellow, rose or white 9ct gold. Hammered black, gold line has a yellow gold inlay only, three surfaces on one band, and a hammered pattern unique to each ring. Both carry solid gold rather than plating, both are hypoallergenic, and each is sold singly as well as in this pairing, so either one can be a complete ring.

Choosing between the options
The hammered ring is yellow gold only, so matching inlays means yellow on the titanium ring as well. Picking rose or white for the titanium ring lets the two share a line but not a colour. Set beside Gold line, black, the smooth black version, the hammered design trades clean geometry for a surface no other ring repeats, which is the question to settle first.
