I made this ring for a friend who asked for something inspired by Red Rising.

Mining is central to the series, so I wanted every material in this inlay to feel like it was pulled from the ground.

I started with red jasper. It gets its color from iron oxide, the same compound that gives Mars its rusty red surface. Jasper is also made of microscopic crystals bound tightly together, which I thought mirrored the collective strength of the Reds.

Then I added coal. In the series, Obsidians declare a sacred warrior vow called Ashvar, and they paint the mark of Tyr on their brow using a chunk of coal. There are also heavy parallels between the Reds and real coal miners throughout history.

I added 24k gold leaf throughout, and set the whole thing in a 14k gold plated tungsten core.

The jasper sits inside the channel, a red stone surrounded by coal, held in place by walls of gold.

Limited Availability Note: This ring uses a gold plated core. I don't keep these in stock, so please allow up to 4 weeks for the core to be plated (or the ring to be engraved) before I begin crafting your ring.

Ring Sizing

I use standard US ring sizes for all orders. Since each ring is made to order, getting the right size is really important. I highly recommend visiting a local jeweller for the most accurate fit, or using a ring sizer you can easily find online.

Wider rings can feel a little more snug, so keep that in mind when choosing your width. All of my rings are made with a comfort fit inner profile. This means the inside of the ring has a smooth, rounded edge that makes it more comfortable to wear, especially day to day.

If you're getting your size measured, let the jeweller know the ring will have a comfort fit and mention your chosen width to ensure accuracy.

How It's Made

The core of every ring is solid tungsten carbide, a material known for its incredible hardness and scratch resistance. It’s tough, reliable, and carries a comfortable weight that feels substantial without being heavy.

The tungsten I use is also 100% cobalt-free, meaning it won’t tarnish, corrode, or cause skin irritation over time. Every ring is hypoallergenic, making it safe and comfortable for daily wear, even for those with sensitive skin.

I hand-wrap real wood using the traditional bentwood method. After shaping, it's sealed with CA, making the inlay water-resistant and durable, all while letting the wood’s natural beauty shine through.

Included in Your Order

Your ring will come in a small cardboard box that’s easy to recycle. Inside, you’ll find a thank you card, a ring care card, and a microfiber cloth you can use to clean your ring, glasses, or any screens. Everything is kept together inside a small custom-made cotton bag so it arrives safe and ready to give or keep for yourself.

Caring for Your Ring

The rings are made to be low-maintenance. You won’t need to do much, just avoid harsh solvents like acetone, and protect the ring from hard knocks against rough surfaces. It’s also advisable to avoid submerging it for long periods of time. To keep it looking its best, simply wipe it clean every now and then with the included microfiber cloth.
