Before ordering, please read the important information on this page.

As you probably have seen above, there are a number of things you can customize to make the ring perfect just for you. In our image gallery, you can find pictures of other rings we’ve made and get a sense of what the possibilities are.

Profile

We currently offer 3 different types of profiles:

• The “Classic” profile is a flat surface with a beveled edge that suits most widths and sizes
• The “Domed” profile has a rounded top surface and edge that gives a softer but heavier look.
• The “Super-Domed” profile is an extra thick ring with a domed outside surface that gives a powerful presence, perhaps best worn as a thumb ring due to the bulk. Not suitable for 6mm wide rings. 10mm width recommended for maximum effect. Great for display as well.

3 Pictures of the different profiles. Classic first, Domed second and Super-Domed third.

Thickness

We currently offer 3 different options (Please note that rings with the “Super-Domed” profile are always thick):

• Medium: Max 2.5 mm
• Thick: At least 2.5 mm
• Best fit: We will determine the thickness of your ring based on your information, our previous experiences and our taste. Please note that with this option, we will not contact you to confirm our choice before manufacturing.

You can specify your preferred exact thickness in the “Requests” box and we will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but with no guarantees apart from that will fall into the chosen category of medium or thick. We don’t offer thin rings as during the making of the ring, small cracks might be discovered. These small cracks can lead to the ring breaking during the lathe turning operation. The risk of this happening greatly increases as the thickness is reduced. Therefore we normally don’t make rings that are super thin. Adding a liner to the ring does make it easier to reduce the thickness as the meteorite has increased support. If you do request a thin ring we will try our best to accommodate your wish, but we have to “listen” to the material during the process and perhaps stop reducing the thickness of the ring to avoid ruining the precious material.

Lining

All of our solid meteorite rings now come with a handcrafted liner made from 925 Sterling Silver. In the past, we have offered rings without liners, and with different kinds of carbon fiber liners as well. This is why many pictures on the site show rings with options that are no longer available. A liner helps prevent rust from forming on the inside, and it also reduces nickel exposure, as less skin is in direct contact with the meteorite. A liner also makes the ring feel “warmer” on the finger and it can make the ring more comfortable to wear. On an individual basis, we may make liners from gold (18K). This is a very expensive option, and the price will depend on the exact dimensions of the ring. If you want a quote for a ring with a gold liner please contact us.

It is possible to engrave the silver liner and this is a service that is included in the price. We use a fiber laser to engrave the silver. This process evaporates the silver and leaves a deep etch. A smallish ring can fit about 40 characters, a larger ring might fit more. If you need more than 40 characters, or if you wish to have special characters, for example, a heart-symbol, or some kind of graphic please contact us.

Please note that we will engrave the text exactly as you enter it, as regards to spelling, capital letters etc.

Protective Finish

All of our solid meteorite rings now come with a Renaissance Wax coating. In the past, we have offered rings with a ProtectaClear coating, as you can see in some pictures on the website. However, we have found Renaissance Wax to be superior, as the maintenance is much easier, making ownership more carefree. With your ring, you will always get a tin of the coating, so that you can maintain your ring. You can read more about the coating on this page.

Each ring comes in a fancy gift box

Manufacturing/processing time

We always want to deliver the best rings we can. Rings that are made well enough that you can wear them with pride and good enough to perhaps, one day, pass on to the next generation. Such a ring takes great effort and is very time-consuming to make. We do not want to rush as it wouldn’t be fair to you or to the meteorite. This means that it can take up to 6-8 weeks from completed payment until your custom ring is ready to be shipped. If the product is marked as back-ordered, the delivery time might be longer!
