Before you choose
Every metal here is worked differently and ages differently. Start with how you spend your days. The care guide covers each one in full.
| How you live | Look at | Why | Think twice about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Work with your hands | Titanium, stainless Damascus | Titanium is light and tough; stainless Damascus shrugs off water. Neither needs oiling | Black zirconium (a hard knock can chip the ceramic), wood inlays |
| Lift, climb or train | Take the ring off | Any solid metal ring can catch and be crushed against a bar | — |
| Swim, surf or live by the sea | Titanium, Timascus | Inert: chlorine and salt water do nothing to them | Carbon Damascus, copper and wood inlays |
| Sensitive skin or a nickel allergy | Titanium, zirconium, Timascus | All three are excellent for sensitive skin | Mokume gane (contains nickel), copper (can leave a harmless green mark) |
| Desk work and everyday wear | Anything | An easy life for any metal. Carbon Damascus only wants a drop of oil now and then | — |
| Want it to change with age | Mokume gane, superconductor | The copper darkens, so the grain and the honeycomb get clearer over time | — |
