This is a beautiful, handcrafted Artisan ring made in my small shop in Ottawa, Ontario, in Canada. This 8mm wide ring This ring is offered with stunning dual Fordite inlays in a tungsten carbide comfort fit core. Fordite, or "Detroit agate," is a unique, upcycled material composed of hardened, multi-layered overspray paint from automotive factory paint booths, primarily in the 1960s–70s. As cars were hand-sprayed and baked, layers built up, creating colorful, stone-like patterns when cut and polished into jewelry. Due to modern, efficient painting methods, genuine, high-quality Fordite is now rare and considered a "motor city" vintage collectible. US full and half ring sizes from 6 - 13 are available in widths of 6mm or 8mm. If you require a custom order at a different size, please send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate.

IMPORTANT - RING SIZING:
Ring sizing is provided in standard US measure. Sizing is the sole responsibility of the customer, so please be certain. Note that wider rings rings will fit a bit more snugly. Your best option for accurate sizing is a jeweler, or ring sizers you can purchase online. All of my rings come with comfort fit profiling on the inner core. This is a slight radius at both edges that greatly improves comfort. Please be sure to mention this and also your desired ring width to any jeweler that is consulted.

Metal Ring Care:
While my metal rings require somewhat less care than my bentwood ones, it is still advised not to routinely submerge your new ring in water for prolonged periods. It is highly recommended to remove it for activities such as swimming, showering/bathing, and washing dishes. Also avoid harsh abrasives and chemicals (to include excessive use of hand sanitisers). Acetone is particularly destructive.
INCLUDED WITH ORDER:
1. A made to order custom ring in your choice of several exotic wood, metal, inlay options, sizes, and widths.
2. A presentation ring box. Note that a luxurious, solid Walnut box with logo is available here as a separate item:
