Diamond Hammered Tantalum Square Band with 14k Yellow Gold Sleeve | MEDIUM STONE
We have over 20 years of experience and exploration working with Tantalum. As pioneers of this unique element as a jewelry metal we have continued refining our techniques and designs to bring out the best of what Tantalum has to offer. This band has it all. Contemporary styling, rich contrast and a distinctive texture. Not only is Tantalum known for its color, but it is hypoallergenic, inert, rust proof and durable. This space age metal is ideal for jewelry and while it is challenging to work with, the results speak for themselves. The texture on the surface of this band has been developed with our exclusive diamond hammering process. We use real diamonds to repeatedly strike the surface of the ring and imprint the diamonds natural surface texture into the softer metal. The interior of the band is finished to perfection and like all of our rings it has generously rounded edges and a comfort fit.
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.

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.

Beginning with the sizing ring sent to the house for my husband to try on, which is now being used as a travel ring on our way to Cancun, Mexico for our Honeymoon! The ring I selected is very tasteful & unique, and was bumped up to the top of his to-do list to ensure it was on time for our wedding, which is greatly appreciated. thank you so much, my husband loves it & I will be recommending Steven Jacob to anyone.”
