Handmade Diamond Hammered Ring in 14K Yellow Gold and Tantalum | FINE STONE
Handmade Diamond Hammered Ring in 14K Yellow Gold and Tantalum | FINE STONE
Since the early 2000’s Tantalum has been a staple in our lineup of unique wedding bands. We pioneered this unique element as a jewelry metal and have continued to refine our techniques and designs to bring out the best of what Tantalum has to offer. There is no metal with a darker grey color than Tantalum. Combine that in a ring with rich 14K Yellow Gold and the result is spectacular. Not only is Tantalum known for its color, but it is hypoallergenic, inert, rust proof, durable, and resizable. This space age metal is ideal for jewelry and while it is challenging to work with, the results speak for themselves. The texture on the surface of this band has been developed with our exclusive diamond hammering process. We use real diamonds to repeatedly strike the surface of the ring and imprint the diamonds natural texture into the softer metal. The interior of the band is finished to perfection and like all of our rings it has generously rounded edges and a comfort fit.
TANTALUM wedding bands also come in matching women’s sizes.
A complimentary sizing band will be provided for all domestic orders to confirm your precise ring size when you purchase this item. Remember this ring is always sizable in the future!

About Tantalum
Tantalum, a refractory metal denoted by the chemical symbol Ta, is known for its exceptional physical and chemical attributes that make it a prized material across diverse industries. It has many functional uses in cutting-edge electronics, medical implants, aerospace components and military applications. While its remarkable corrosion resistance, ductility and durability makes it indispensable in these industries, the main reason we love it and have been working with it for over 20 years, is its rich beauty as a jewelry metal. There is truly nothing like it.
Tantalum has a captivating rich, blue-gray hue and is the darkest naturally colored metal known. This unique visual aesthetic combined with its hypoallergenic nature, corrosion resistance and durability make it an ideal material for jewelry purposes. However, working with tantalum presents substantial challenges due to its extremely high melting point, low thermal conductivity and unwillingness to be machined. This requires the expertise of skilled artisans well-versed in its properties and limitations. Machining and hand crafting tantalum demands a comprehensive understanding of its behavior while using different tools and under many conditions, adding to its allure as a material that requires intimate knowledge. As one of the first in the world to use tantalum for jewelry purposes, we have devoted the time and invested in the tooling and knowledge needed to work with this impressive metal. Each Steven Jacob tantalum ring is individually crafted and finished to perfection in our Colorado studio.

“I love our rings!!! Like every day I am so honored and stunned by the beauty that I get to wear. Not gonna lie, my husband’s ring might also be my favorite of his accessories. Probably in good part because of what it means, but also because it is stunning. The pattern, quality of work and design are just gorgeous. You can’t even tell where the band meets. How did they do that? They were super helpful to work with and delivered above and beyond my expectations. I could not be more happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!”
