Black Ceramic Ring Blank
Black Ceramic Ring Blank
Black ceramic is a beautiful material. The material is very hard and doesn't scratch easily. It provides a lustrous background for any inlay.
Ceramic is a brittle material that can crack if it experiences a sudden impact or is stressed (as with an expanding ring mandrel). To prevent this, we recommend using two layers of electrical tape wrapped around the mandrel instead of over-tightening. If the ring still slips, use two dabs of CA glue to glue it to the mandrel rather than over-tightening the ring on the mandrel.
Rings are available in standard 8mm or thinner styles of 6mm and 4mm.
The channel on the 8 mm ring blanks is 1 mm deep and 4 mm wide. Our 6 mm-wide rings have a channel that is 1 mm deep and 3 mm wide. Our 4mm-wide rings’ channel is 1 mm deep and 1.9 mm wide.
Note: ring blanks may have the size and/or material type laser-engraved on the interior.

Great color and awesome shine.
Surprisingly sturdy material for rings. They hold up well to everyday wear. You can't scratch them - well, at least I haven't yet - so they look like glass, all shiny and reflecty.
I have made over 100 rings by now and find these to be very nice ring blanks. Being black it is not as necessary to coat the bottom of the channel with black coloring like with some other ring designs. This leaves a bit more space to get nice depth within the channel.
The material is sanding-resistant which is wonderful as I do everything by hand (wife doesn't want me to buy a lathe... I'm working on her.) I tend to sand with one hand while commuting to and from work. It's not very precise but this material compensates for that.
Once again I am overly excited with how fast I received my package it's always a day early. And the materials I order are always awesome looking Thanks once again Patrick Adair supplies
