Zirconium
Zirconium taken to black in the fire. The color is the metal's own ceramic oxide, not a coating, so it will not chip where the bead knocks against a knife.
A straight cylinder, machined clean, with no pattern to distract from how dark it is.
Forged, not cast
Hammered by hand, after you order
Most jewellery is cast: molten metal poured into a mould. This piece is forged instead, heated, hammered and finished by hand, one at a time, and only once you have ordered it with the options you chose.
Estimated delivery is 10–14 business days from ordering. Yours will differ from the photograph in the detail of its pattern. No two come out the same.
Product details
Care
A dry cloth. The black is grown into the metal, so it will not lift.
Every piece is made to order and no two come out identical. Expect yours to differ from the photograph in the detail of the pattern. Free shipping to the US and UK. $30 everywhere else.
Materials
Zirconium
Hand-forged and finished in the workshop. Every metal ages differently — Damascus steel wants an occasional wipe and a drop of oil, titanium asks for nothing at all. How to care for each metal

Before you buy
Your questions, answered
When will my order arrive?
Estimated delivery is 10–14 business days from ordering, including making and transit. Engraving can add one to two additional business days. If you need it for a wedding or another fixed date, contact us before ordering. Full detail on the shipping page.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, one year on every piece. If anything goes wrong with it in the year after delivery, whatever the cause, we repair it or forge a replacement free, and pay the shipping both ways.
What is your returns policy?
It is forged to order to the options you choose, so all sales are final. You are fully covered all the same. Anything damaged in transit or not what you ordered is replaced or refunded in full if you tell us within 14 days of delivery, and the one-year warranty covers the rest. See the refund policy.
Is the black zirconium plated?
No. The surface is oxidised into a hard black ceramic, grown into the metal rather than laid on top, so it will not wear through with normal use. Like any ceramic, keep it clear of hard knocks against stone.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Titanium, zirconium and Timascus are excellent for sensitive skin. Mokume gane contains nickel and copper, and copper can leave a harmless temporary green mark. With a known nickel allergy, choose titanium or zirconium, or ask us.
