The History of Damascus Steel

Damascus steel has a legendary reputation that dates back centuries. Originally developed in the Near East, this remarkable material was prized for its strength, flexibility, and distinctive wavy patterns. While the exact original method of creating Damascus steel was lost to time, modern metallurgy has allowed craftsmen to recreate its beauty and durability.

Did you know? The unique patterns in Damascus steel are often compared to ripples on water or the grain of wood, making each piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Today, Damascus steel stands out among other metals used in jewellery making, offering a perfect blend of strength and aesthetics that make it an ideal choice for wedding rings.

    • Inner Diameter of an Existing Ring: If you have a ring that fits perfectly, simply measure its inner diameter (from edge to edge of the ring's inside circle). Enter this measurement for an accurate size conversion.

  2. Get Your Global Size: Our application instantly converts your measurement into the most commonly used international ring sizing standards - US, UK, French, German, Japanese, and Swiss. This feature makes our tool perfect for both local and international shoppers.

Tips for Accurate Measurement:

  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest size.
  • Avoid measuring when you're cold, as fingers can be smaller.
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size in between to ensure the ring will fit.
