Sizing

Every band is comfort fit, with a gently rounded interior so it passes the knuckle more easily than a flat-profile ring. Comfort-fit bands usually run about a half size larger than standard, if you are between sizes, take the smaller one.

Not sure? We’ll send a free sizer first, and you keep it.

Shipping & returns

Free US shipping on every order, dispatched within one business day. Returns are accepted for 60 days, no questions asked. If you chose the free sizer, your band ships as soon as you send us your size.

Forever Fit Plan

Three free replacements, for any reason at all, lost, broken, or simply the wrong size. No receipt hunting and no argument. How it works.

Care

Warm water, mild soap, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes: tungsten carbide does not need them and they can dull a brushed finish. Remove it before heavy lifting. Tungsten is very hard, which means under extreme force it cracks rather than bends.

What buyers say

  • I was unsure about a fully rounded band until our March ceremony. Under the photographer's light there was no hard edge to blow out, just one soft brushed curve.

    Travis B.Verified buyer
  • It rolled off the bathroom counter onto tile in month four, which a flat ring would not do. No chip, because there is no edge to chip. The whole outer surface is one continuous curve, brushed evenly across it.

    Robert N.Verified buyer
  • Six months on before I would say anything about the one it replaced. The difference is the profile. The old band had a flat top with two rims; this is one continuous curve, and it has not caught on a glove once.

    Eugene P.Verified buyer
  • My fiancée chose it and I doubted a fully domed band would suit me. Putting it on settled that. The brushed curve is unbroken, with no rim.

    Russell R.Verified buyer
  • The band I wore before had a flat face and two rims that caught on gloves. This one is a single curve the whole way round with a brushed finish that runs unbroken. That is the whole of what I wanted.

    Christian H.Verified buyer
  • Eight months in a size 12 before I would compare fairly. The old band was flat and turned constantly; this has been on daily and has not once needed straightening, which I put down to the even curve rather than the fit.

    Alice R.Verified buyer
  • Ordered Monday, here Thursday. It runs about 17 grams, heavier than the shape suggests because the dome is solid through rather than hollowed, and it balances without a preferred side. Straightforward.

    Scott C.Verified buyer
  • An 11 sits close at the base without pinching and clears the knuckle fine. The bit I like is that the curve carries all the way under the finger too, so there is no flat underside. Mild gripe though, it does roll if you set it down.

    Hunter T.Verified buyer
  • Size 12, close at the base. Running a thumb round it there is no rim, no seam, nothing to catch, and the inside curve matches the outside. I stopped taking it off at the gym after the first month.

    Kenneth H.Verified buyer
  • I ordered a 12 for my husband after tracing his old band. It went on close at the base and he has kept it on. At his mother's birthday lunch she took his hand and remarked that it had no edges, which is exactly why I picked it.

    Theresa W.Verified buyer
  • The thing I keep noticing is that the brushed grain follows the curve rather than running straight round, so it never reads as flat. My only reservation is that the same curve means there is nowhere flat to engrave.

    Nathaniel S.Verified buyer
  • My old titanium band had a squared inner edge that left a line on my finger by evening. This one is round inside and out, and under a thumb it feels like a bead with no seam. The practical difference is that the line is gone.
