custom Machined
Made to your specifications. We machine precious metal and the exotics below linearly; we opt to cast the jewelry for curvy styles. But machining gives a clean and precise separation of multiple metals and profiles, giving them a tidy manufactured look. Our inlay rings with precious metal are 1mm deep and not super thin 22 gauge metal foil, as seen in mass-manufactured rings. These are made to be abused! Many finishes are then applied by hand or with a laser making them one of a kind. That's our thing, your rare ring made to order. Have a look at some quick examples of what we offer below.
Gold - It's not gold unless it's gold. In this case, with a black zirconium band inlaid with 18k to match. 9-22k in yellow, white, green, and rose. See all the colors available here.
Stainless steel - A bright color found in this strong, corrosion-resistant alloy of 316L. Looking good laser engraved with a wee diamond.
Mokume inlay - Take our hand-forged designs of bonded precious metals, inlaying them into solid bands of any metal. Have a look at our Mokume possibilities.
Anodized color - Available for our titanium bands with recessed features. Like these two channels, to be presented in any color, you can ask for giving the ring a subtle flash of expression.
Platinum - Purest of all the alloys and with a delicious weight felt on the hand. It is such a dense metal that is a premium experience—shown with 18k inlay and a matching wedding band.
Titanium - Light as a feather yet as durable as the steel we machine. This aircraft grade alloy 6AL4V, to be precise with a diamond finish on this one.
Precious metal inlay - Taking traditional precious metals and inlaying a deep channel guaranteeing durability over thin, mass-made sheet inlaid bands found elsewhere. Costs a smidge more, but it's worth it.
Wood inlays - A single piece of wood, turned on a lathe and placed in titanium or stainless rings under a durable acrylic sealant. We offer many hardwood and design options; just ask.
Sterling - Darvier recommends a unique sterling alloy that is hypo-allergenic and can be tempered for durability. We call this our faceted finish. Totally random and yours.
Laser engraved - All we need is an idea, and we'll make it happen. We have the image editing skills to make it perfect—even a topography map of your favorite river.
Black zirconium - Zirconium is a titanium alloy that permits us to deposit a deep carbon coating. The treatment is as hard as sapphire. None more black. This one has an inlay of local Beetle Kill.
Tension settings - 3D printed titanium rings built to the exact needs of the gem it's holding securely using the memory of the metal to keep it in place. This one is built with a Gibeon meteorite inlay. We recommend moissanite or created sapphire for daily wear.
Gibeon Meteorite. Very rare, discovered in Nambia in 1838, and once machined into your ring it displays the incredible Widmanstätten pattern you see here. The unique finish you see in the gold ring above developed while entering our atmosphere in micro-gravity in pre-historic times. Once our modest stock is depleted, I will not be able to replace it reliably. That will be the end of this chapter for our custom products.
