OUR GUIDE: DAMASCUS STEEL RINGS
WHY DAMASCUS?
There’s no engraving done here. At Flinn and Steel our rings are 100% real Damascus and of great quality.
(If you choose not to buy with us, make sure any Damascus ring you buy is the real deal!)
Our customers are drawn to Damascus steel for its unique design. Not only is the stainless metal a smart choice for durability and comfort, its distinctive patterns make each ring truly individual. The technique of creating Damascus is folding and refolding layers of steel which creates the unique and flowing patterns - every ring really is a one-off design. Many are charmed by the history of Damascus and enjoy choosing one of our Damascus rings for that reason.
EASE OF WEAR AND CARE
Damascus has many of the same properties as stainless steel with the added bonus of distinctive patterns. It’s a great choice of metal for a ring as it is both durable and unique. Much like stainless steel, it is comfortable to wear and has a secure weight.
Our Damascus rings need no special care, you can keep your ring clean by using just soap and water. To create the most natural fit, our rings have a curved inside (court shaped).
OUR DESIGNS
The inspiration for the names of our Damascus rings comes from the patterns we work with. These are water ripples and woodgrain.
At Flinn & Steel, we've used Damascus steel in our previous ring designs; The Porter Brook, Damflask and Langsett. After months' of development and lots of hours in the workshop we were able to bring back a more streamlined and simple version using just our woodgrain pattern, The Wyming Brook. We have also added a selection of Damascus steel and Silver designs to our collection.
