The Strata is a study in contrasts. This custom-made wedding ring merges the ancient appeal of precious gold with the modern, industrial resilience of Black Zirconium. Designed for those who value both tradition and high-tech craftsmanship, the Strata features a distinct wavy pattern reminiscent of topographic layers or aged timber grain.

The central inlay is crafted from solid Zirconium and heat-treated to create a rock-hard black oxide coating. This dark, textured core is then seamlessly framed by polished solid gold rails, available in your choice of Yellow, White (8mm), or Rose Gold (8mm).

Because every Strata ring is made to order, you can tailor the width and metal purity to your exact preferences. Whether chosen as a statement wedding band or a unique dress ring, the Strata is built to withstand the rigours of daily wear while maintaining a sophisticated, two-tone aesthetic.

 

Material Insights: What is Black Zirconium?

We use Zirconium for the Strata’s inlay because of its incredible physical properties.

  • Extreme Durability: Zirconium is a grey metal similar to Titanium. When heat-treated, it forms a black oxide layer that is nearly as hard as diamond or sapphire. This ensures the black finish is not just a coating—it is part of the metal itself and will not peel or flake.
  • Hypoallergenic: Just like the gold casing, Zirconium is completely nickel-free and hypoallergenic, making it safe for sensitive skin.
  • Lightweight Strength: Despite its heavy-duty look, Zirconium is lightweight, ensuring the ring remains comfortable on the finger all day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can Black Zirconium rings be resized?

Because Zirconium is extremely hard and the black finish is achieved through a specific heat treatment, resizing is difficult. We strongly recommend visiting a jeweller to get an accurate finger size before ordering The Strata.

Is the black colour on the ring a paint or plating?

No. The black colour on the Strata is a natural oxidation layer formed by heating the Zirconium. It is not a paint, plating, or dye, meaning it will not chip or peel like traditional black plating.

Which gold carat should I choose: 9ct or 18ct?

  • 9ct Gold: Contains 37.5% pure gold. It is generally harder and more affordable, making it a great choice for rugged daily wear.
  • 18ct Gold: Contains 75% pure gold. It has a richer, deeper colour and a heavier feel on the finger, offering a more luxurious finish. 18ct is available only in the 8mm option.

How do I care for my Zirconium and Gold ring?

You can clean the Strata with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. While the Black Zirconium is highly scratch-resistant, the gold rails can accumulate fine scratches over time, which is normal for precious metals. Avoid exposing the ring to harsh chemicals like chlorine or bleach.
