What is Black Zirconium ?

All our Black Zirconium rings begin life as a 1 meter bar of Natural Zirconium.

In its natural form Zirconium is very similiar in appearance to Titanium.

Infact Zirconium can often be confused with Titanium and that is understandable as it is super lightweight,very durable and exceptionally hard wearing and also ideal for persons who suffer with skin allergens.

The one major difference is that when extreme heat is applied the natural Zirconium creates a Black oxide layer and therefore gives us Black Zirconium.

This coating only improves the metal as it increases its level of hardness to around 8 on the Mohs scale.

It is not indestructable and like any other piece of Jewellery elements of care by the wearer should be taken but generally a Black Zirconium ring can easily be considered as a long term purchase or especially as a Wedding Ring.

Concerns of whether it could easily be removed following an accident can be comforted by knowing that Black Zirconium rings can be cut off the finger in an emergency with a ring cutting tool.

Black Zirconium is the best and first choice to go with if you are looking for a Black Ring as often cheaper substitutes are made of inferior materials or simply have a plastic coating applied.
