10K gold is harder than 14K and 18K, but 14K and 18K are more pure and therefore more valuable. 18K gold has the highest purity and is the most valuable, but it is also the softest among the three. While a 10K gold ring will be nearly identical in color to a 14K gold ring, an 18K gold ring will have a richer, deeper yellow hue due to its higher gold content.

We will send a ring sizing kit to you to ensure the correct fit before creating your ring.

Since our rings are handcrafted to order, it is important for you to use one of our ring sizers and not depend on a traditional jewelers’ sizing kit to get an accurate size. Our rings are different because many are wider than traditional bands and most of our rings come in a comfort fit style.
If you haven't used our ring sizing kit, select that option and we'll send a FREE ring sizing kit to you with your order. We will begin production on your ring once we have your correct size and width.
All rings are made to order and ship within the timeframe shown on the product page. We offer free US shipping and a 30-day return policy on non-custom items. Read our full return policy here.
The Story Behind This Ring
New Zealand Abalone Shell & Blue Ridge Coral
The Pāua is named after the extraordinary abalone shell at its heart — a New Zealand native known as "Sea Opal" for the way it shifts between blue, green, and violet depending on how the light catches it.
This ring pairs AAA-grade Pāua shell with blue ridge coral, also known as Heliopora Coerulea, a striking material whose vivid skeleton has been used as an emblem of the ocean's hidden depths for generations. Together, they create something that looks like the sea itself is set into the band.
Sustainably sourced and handcrafted to order in the USA from SCS-certified 100% recycled gold.

We had such a wonderful experience with Rustic and Main. The unboxing alone felt special—it came complete with a certificate of authenticity for the WWII M1 Garand Rifle Stock used in the inner inlay of my fiancé’s wedding ring. The craftsmanship was evident in every detail.
