- What size is an 18mm inner diameter ring?
- An 18mm inner diameter corresponds to roughly a US size 8. Measure a ring you already own across the inside to compare.
- Is 201 stainless steel good for a ring?
- It is durable and affordable, but 201 is a lower grade than 316L stainless steel. It resists rust less well, especially with frequent exposure to water or sweat.
- What does PVD vacuum plating mean?
- PVD is a thin coating applied in a vacuum chamber. It bonds harder than standard electroplating, so the steel color holds up longer, though it can still wear at high-friction edges.
- Can I wear it in water?
- Occasional handwashing is fine, but take it off for swimming, showers and cleaning products. Chlorine and salt shorten the life of both the steel and the coating.
- Is an 8mm band comfortable for daily wear?
- A wide band feels heavier and covers more of the finger. Some people find wide bands rub against neighboring fingers, so try it for a few days before committing.
- Will it turn my finger green?
- PVD-plated 201 steel is less likely to leave marks than cheap plated brass, but wear at the coating can expose the base metal. Those with metal sensitivities should be cautious.
