Silicon Bronze

Silicon Bronze

Silicon Bronze was developed for the repairing vessels that hold acidic liquids in the food industry. When used for a inlay, the color changes from yellow gold to a dark brown. The brown color is a oxidization layer that actually protects the base metal form acidity including oils for your hands. This layer will not rub off of discolor your fingers read more →

Silver

Silver

From the ancient worlds of Byzantium and Egypt 4,000 years ago, to the New World mines of Mexico and Peru during the 17th and 18th centuries, the lure of silver has fascinated kings and conquerors. Silver is softer than titanium so I mostly use it as a inlay. The lighter shade of grey is a nice contrast with the darker grey titanium. read more →

Gold

Gold

Gold has long been considered one of the most precious metals in the world. The main uses for gold are jewellery, dentistry, adornments on buildings and artistic expression. For thousands of years it has been used as an ornament of kings, a currency and standard for global currencies, and more recently, in a wide range of electronic devices and medical applications. I also use gold a inlay. Gold provides a distinct contrast against grey titanium. I use both 14k white and yellow gold. read more →

Zirconium

Zirconium

Zirconium is also a elemental metal and it is very similar to titanium. It’s primary use is for coating fuel rods in nuclear reactors. The main difference between titanium and zirconium is the color of zirconium after a special heating process. During this heating process, the zirconium will turn black and have a extremely hard ceramic layer on the surface. This layer is as hard as sapphires and will not scratch under normal conditions like day to day wear. read more →

Titanium

Titanium

Titanium is an elemental metal with a wide variety of uses. Since its accidental discovery in 1791, titanium has been used to make aircraft, sporting goods such as golf clubs, automobile parts, watches, and rings. While titanium rings may not be as widespread as gold or platinum rings, they have many advantages. Titanium rings are durable, lightweight, strong, 100% hypoallergenic, and affordable. Titanium is stronger than steel and keeps its shape better than most metals used to make rings. It is also lighter and more comfortable to wear than gold or platinum. read more →
