Black is the new black. Black Zirconium Rings are what the coolest people wear, from Darth Vader and Batman to Ninjas and maybe you. Zirconium is a natural element in our earth, mainly in Australia and South Africa. Its natural colour is greyish-silvery white. Zirconium has a super high corrosion resistance.
Black Zirconium is used in many chemical industries where something is needed to contain or transport chemicals. It is so tough and chemically stable that it is also used to build nuclear reactors! Now that’s pretty manly if you ask me! Even though it is so tough, it is also very lightweight.
Zirconium is non-toxic, so much so that it is often used in fillings and other dental work; therefore, it is an excellent metal for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
Also, zirconium has a very high melting point of 1855 degrees Celsius, which makes it very durable. By comparison, gold has a melting point of 1064 degrees Celsius. Not that you will probably ever want to melt your zirconium ring…
After the ring is milled, it undergoes an oxidation process. The ring is heated to a very high temperature. The extreme heat causes a chemical reaction on the surface of the zirconium, resulting in a beautiful black colour. This black layer is the oxidation that took place. The oxidation layer is tough, and the black colour is permanent. It does not fade, tarnish, or change colour without significant abrasion. Shop our Black Zircon Rings.
