What our rings are made of

Base metal
316L stainless steel, for every ring, chain and bracelet.
Gold tone
316L stainless steel with a gold-tone coating. It is a colour finish on the steel, and we don’t describe it as gold.
Steel
Polished (or, where stated, brushed) 316L stainless steel with no coating.
Stones
None. Our rings have no stones, enamel or glue-set parts.
Engraving
None in this first collection.

What we don’t claim

Stainless steel contains nickel, so we make no claims about allergies or sensitive skin. We don’t promise that a finish will never change or wear, and we don’t recommend wearing rings in water. If you have a known metal allergy, please speak to your doctor before wearing any metal jewellery, and stop wearing a ring if your skin becomes irritated.

Whatever we say or don’t say here, your legal rights stay the same: our rings must be of satisfactory quality, including reasonable durability, and as described. If a finish comes away much sooner than you could reasonably expect, tell us — see Returns and refunds.

Looking after your rings

  • Take rings off for swimming, showering, the gym, cleaning and gardening.
  • Put rings on after hand cream, perfume, sanitiser and make-up have dried, not before.
  • Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wearing. Don’t use polishing cloths, abrasives or jewellery dips on gold-tone pieces.
  • Store each ring on its own so pieces don’t scratch each other. Hand chains are best stored flat so the chain doesn’t knot.
  • A gold-tone finish wears gradually with friction, especially on the inside of a ring and on rings worn next to each other. How quickly depends on how and how often you wear it.

Open rings

Thumb rings, knuckle rings and the rings on our hand chains are open at the back so you can ease them to fit. Adjust gently, a little at a time, and only when needed. Bending a band back and forth repeatedly weakens the metal and can mark the finish.

Safety

Our jewellery is for adults and is not suitable for children under 14. Knuckle rings, hand chains and fine bands are small parts — keep them away from young children. More on our Product safety page.
