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 reserve the right to refuse engraving services for any words or phrases deemed inappropriate or offensive. Profanity will not be engraved under any circumstances.
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
Guitar String, Elk Antler & USS North Carolina Teak
Three materials for the man who has never been afraid to set out for new territory.
Guitar string — the kind of A string that carries a note through an entire room — sits between naturally shed elk antler and teak from the USS North Carolina battleship, a vessel that earned 15 battle stars leading every major Pacific naval offensive in WWII. Music, nature, and history. An unusual combination that works because the story behind each piece is that strong.
Handcrafted to order in North Carolina from SCS-certified 100% recycled gold.
