Important Crafting Instructions
- HANDLE WITH CARE: While extremely scratch-resistant, ceramic is a rigid material. It can crack or shatter if dropped on a hard surface.
- AVOID OVER-EXPANDING: Do not use excessive force on a ring mandrel when sizing or working. Over-expansion can cause the ceramic to crack.
- FINISH BY HAND: We recommend finishing your inlay by hand to maintain the pristine polished finish of the ceramic edges.
Creative Applications
- Crushed Opal Rings: The 4mm channel is our most popular size for opal ring supplies. It provides the perfect canvas to create a bold and vibrant crushed opal inlay that truly stands out against the sleek black ceramic.
- Wedding Bands: Create a durable and stylish wedding band by inlaying classic materials like wood, meteorite, or precious metal shavings.
- Glow Rings: The wide channel is ideal for showcasing glow powders mixed with other materials, creating a ring with a stunning daytime look and a secret nighttime glow.
