The Vector

My wife ordered it in a 12 from a ring I already had and it fit at the base first go. It arrived in five days. Each of the three planes is flat and the edges between them are cut, not rolled.

The band I wore before was rounded on every surface and this has flat planes meeting at hard bevels, which is a different object to look at and no harder to wear. It has been on since it arrived.

Bought for my son, and the thing that sold me was that the planes are genuinely flat, so the ring has clear facets rather than a vague curve. He has worn it since. Mild reservation, sharp edges show a nick more obviously than a rounded band would.

Two years of daily wear before commenting. At around 15 grams it balances on a flat plane rather than rolling to an edge, which is a function of the geometry. The bevel edges have softened very slightly and the planes themselves are untouched.

A year of daily wear before I would say anything. Size 11, still close at the base and clear over the knuckle. The bevel edges have held their definition, which is the thing that usually goes soft on an angular band.

Size 12, fit first go. It arrived a fortnight before a wedding in Sussex, boxed with a sizing gauge and a cloth, and I wore it there without having to do anything to it. Easy.

Out of the box the bevel edges felt sharp under a thumb. By our June wedding a week later I had stopped noticing. The ceremony was outdoors and the flat planes each caught a different amount of sun, so my hand had light and shadow on it at once, which my aunt commented on.

I put it flat against the titanium band I had worn for seven years and the difference was the profile: the titanium was a smooth curve and this is three distinct planes meeting at defined edges. The practical difference is that light breaks at those edges, so the ring reads from across a room where the old one never did.

It's been on since our April wedding and there is nothing to add beyond that. The three planes are still flat and the edges between them are still edges rather than curves.

Size 11, close at the base, and it's cleared the knuckle every day since. The bevels are cut rather than rolled, so each plane is genuinely flat and the edges between them are sharp enough to see.

Wore it at our March wedding in a size 12, ordered after a jeweller measured me. It cleared the knuckle at the start of a fourteen-hour day and again at the end, because the inside is domed even though the outside is all angles.

The surprise was that it comes seated at an angle, so the bevels are the first thing you see rather than the flat top. Size 13, close at the base and over the knuckle without force. Each plane arrived genuinely flat rather than slightly domed.
