Black Zirconium Rings

Black Zirconium is a stunning, dark metal that is highly cost-effective. A classic Black Zirconium ring is one of our most affordable and stylish choices. It’s super durable, hypoallergenic and only a medium weight. Zirconium starts its life as a silver metal but during the heating process it oxidises and turns black. This allows us to create two-tone rings by cutting into the metal to reveal the silver underneath. If you’d like a more exclusive ring, we also have a range of Black Zirconium and Gold styles. It’s a modern ring choice for the daring, contemporary man.

 

Tungsten Rings

Tungsten is one of the most versatile materials in the Kavalri range. Your ring may feature black, silver, gold, rose gold, metallic blue or even wood. With so many styles available at a wide range of price points; Tungsten is a hardy, low maintenance yet still distinguished ring. Other benefits of Tungsten are that it’s hypoallergenic, incredibly strong and scratch resistant. It is a heavy ring, compared to the other metals, but can also be made into a wide ring to suit large, masculine hands.

 

Titanium Rings

It is a hypoallergenic metal and is in a low-mid price range compared to our other styles. The Kavalri range of Titanium rings are available in classic metal, patterned and two-tone – combined with either Gold or Carbon Fibre.

 

Carbon Fibre Rings

Carbon Fibre is a stunning black colour that when mixed with other metals makes for a daring and bold ring choice. The KAVALRI range of Carbon Fibre rings are combined with titanium, yellow gold, white gold and rose gold. Carbon Fibre itself is hypoallergenic however, this characteristic may be altered by any other metals you mix it with. It is a nice lightweight, scratch resistant material which makes for an attractive, comfortable and empowering ring.

 

Damascus Steel Rings

This is one of the most unique materials that we use for our rings. The wavy patterns found on our Damascus Steel rings are actually a feature of the metal itself.
