The ultimate flinn & steel ring guide

Can't decide which F&S rare metal is right for you? We've summarised all the facts to (hopefully) make the decision a bit easier!

The two guides below cover hardness, weight, composition, and any tips and tricks to keep your ring looking its best.


If you still have any questions, our team are on hand on WhatsApp or via email (info@flinnandsteel.co.uk)


Other things to remember:


We don't class any of our rings as scratch resistant or scratch-proof, even though some materials have a stronger resistance to surface scratches/scuffs than others. All rings, regardless of metal will build up a 'patina' of surface scratches from the day you begin wearing your ring, which we love because it shows how much you enjoy wearing your ring!


All F&S rare metals are stronger than precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), but that doesn't make them indestructible. Their hardness/strength also means they cannot be resized, so checking your ring size with our UK Ring Sizer first can really help!


Most of our customers have never worn any jewellery before, let alone a ring you'll wear for like - check in with our team to get some advice about which material might be the best for you!
