Carbide Tough Ceramic Bands

Black ceramic is a revolutionary space-aged material with many of the aesthetic qualities of black titanium or black tungsten rings, but it is lighter than titanium and tougher than tungsten. Black zirconium ceramic has a metallic appearance and a solid black color closely resembling black diamonds.

Similar to the striking look of black titanium and tungsten rings, it actually has a few special physical features that those rings are lacking. Perhaps the largest benefit that black ceramic has over black tungsten or black titanium is the fact that the ceramic rings are manufactured by mixing specially formulated high-tech ceramic powder with coloring agents and baking them using extreme heat and pressure, creating a solid metallic black all the way through. This is just not the case with the tungsten and titanium rings.

When you purchase black zirconium ceramic rings made from zirconia-based ceramic, you can count on having a piece of jewelry that will be around for a while, as this is one of the highest-strength ceramics available on the market today. Due to the light weight, toughness and extreme resistance to abrasion, black zirconium ceramic is even an ideal material for advanced medical science and space technologies. Don't get the wrong idea, though. Black ceramic rings have a beautiful appeal that would never make you think of a scientific or space-aged application.

Since they look so similar, people often wonder what the difference is between zirconium ceramic rings and black titanium and black tungsten rings. The team at Avant-Garde Jewelry actually does not work with any black titanium or black tungsten. Among a variety of reasons, perhaps the most important flaw in black titanium is that the color is not solid. This is because black titanium rings are made of special grade titanium that produces a thin layer of black deposit on the surface when heat treated; it is important to note that this finish will eventually scratch off with time, showing white marks on black surface. The deposit is tough and somewhat scratch resistant, but with time, scratches will show. Remember that black tungsten rings and black titanium rings cannot be refinished, which makes black ceramic the ideal alternative. It is clear why we choose to only use the premium material zirconium black ceramic for our modern, chic contemporary collection.

All of the black rings you will find in the Avant-Garde Jewelry Collection are made of black zirconium ceramic. They are scratch proof, the material they are made from measures 9 on the Mohs hardness scale and only diamond or corundum abrasives can scratch these black zirconium ceramic rings.

While we do not offer black titanium, we do carry a line of titanium rings with black rubber inlays, so whatever type of black ring you're looking for, chances are we have it in stock or can create it for you. And if solid black isn't the look you're going for, check out our line of tungsten rings inlaid with ceramic, creating yet another stunning look. The looks and styles are endless!
