- What is tantalum, and why is it used here?
- Tantalum is a dense, dark grey refractory metal that takes a deep finish and resists tarnishing. Here it forms the patterned center, contrasting with the yellow gold edges.
- Can The Rebel be resized?
- Bands that combine gold with tantalum generally cannot be resized the way plain gold rings can. Have your finger sized accurately before ordering, and expect a remake rather than a resize if the fit is off.
- How does it compare with a plain gold wedding band?
- It is wider and more detailed, with a two-tone pattern instead of a single polished metal. A plain gold band is easier to resize and more traditional; The Rebel is the more distinctive choice.
- Is a 7.5mm band comfortable for everyday wear?
- The comfort-fit interior is rounded on the inside, which helps on a band this wide. Some people still find 7.5mm noticeable at first, especially if they are used to slimmer rings.
- Will the gold edges scratch?
- 14K gold is softer than tantalum, steel or tungsten, so the edges will pick up fine scratches with daily wear. The pattern on the center hides marks better than a polished surface would.
- What is in the box?
- The ring itself. Check the listing for any warranty or packaging details before ordering.
- Where is the THE REBEL cheapest?
- At Benchmark Rings, for $2,480.00, as of our latest check.
