Damascus Flat Band with Double Tantalum Rails and Dark Fire Oxide | STAR
Damascus Flat Band with Double Tantalum Rails and Dark Fire Oxide | STAR
Since the early 2000’s Tantalum has been a staple in our lineup of unique wedding bands. We pioneered this unique element as a jewelry metal and have continued to refine our techniques and designs to bring out the best of what Tantalum has to offer. Our STAR pattern rings are characterized by two opposite abstract four cornered star designs with diagonal wood grain between them. In this ring, the Damascus is framed by the double Tantalum rails. Tantalum is the darkest naturally colored metal that exists. In combination with the oxidized Damascus steel it creates a strong and powerful composition. The interior has a comfort fit and is finished to a high polish for a silky smooth feel.
TANTALUM wedding bands also come in matching women’s sizes.
A complimentary sizing band will be provided for all domestic orders to confirm your precise ring size when you purchase this item. Remember this ring is always sizable in the future!

About Tantalum
Tantalum, a refractory metal denoted by the chemical symbol Ta, is known for its exceptional physical and chemical attributes that make it a prized material across diverse industries. It has many functional uses in cutting-edge electronics, medical implants, aerospace components and military applications. While its remarkable corrosion resistance, ductility and durability makes it indispensable in these industries, the main reason we love it and have been working with it for over 20 years, is its rich beauty as a jewelry metal. There is truly nothing like it.
Tantalum has a captivating rich, blue-gray hue and is the darkest naturally colored metal known. This unique visual aesthetic combined with its hypoallergenic nature, corrosion resistance and durability make it an ideal material for jewelry purposes. However, working with tantalum presents substantial challenges due to its extremely high melting point, low thermal conductivity and unwillingness to be machined. This requires the expertise of skilled artisans well-versed in its properties and limitations. Machining and hand crafting tantalum demands a comprehensive understanding of its behavior while using different tools and under many conditions, adding to its allure as a material that requires intimate knowledge. As one of the first in the world to use tantalum for jewelry purposes, we have devoted the time and invested in the tooling and knowledge needed to work with this impressive metal. Each Steven Jacob tantalum ring is individually crafted and finished to perfection in our Colorado studio.
