| What Is Black Zirconium? Black zirconium is a strong, corrosion-resistant metal that comes in a lustrous black color that will not wear or fade. Zirconium has been found in S-type stars, and has been identified in meteorites and the sun. Zirconium does not conduct heat well and is relatively inert, making it a great choice for people with base metal allergies. In fact, zirconium is so safe that it’s used in dentistry in its oxidized form. Most black rings rely on a dark industrial overlay for their black color. The overlays only cover the surface of the piece and can be scratched or chipped, exposing the metal underneath. Black zirconium bands are black all the way through. In the unlikely event that it scratches or chips, it will only display more of the same black material underneath. Black zirconium bands can have custom engraving and designs, on both the inside and the outside of the ring. All of our black zirconium designs can come in a variety of widths and sizes and are available to order in about one week. In some cases, we can have it here the very next day. |
