Rainbow Carborundum Ring

A striking piece of carborundum set in ring form, with an elongated sculptural shape and vivid iridescent surface. Carborundum is the trade name long used for silicon carbide, a material first introduced commercially in the late 19th century and known for its extreme hardness and industrial importance. What makes pieces like this visually fascinating is the colour play across the surface—purple, blue, green, and bronze tones shifting with the light. Rather than coming from paint or plating on the stone itself, this effect is tied to the way light interacts with its textured surface. In wearable form, it has a bolder, more architectural look than most crystal rings, which is part of what makes it stand out.

Carborundum is often associated with strength, protection, focus, and energetic amplification. Many people are drawn to it for its bold presence and high-intensity feel.

Stone: Carborundum / Silicon Carbide

Source: Not specified

Formation:
Carborundum is silicon carbide, a crystalline compound of silicon and carbon formed under extremely high temperatures. Unlike most natural mineral specimens used in jewelry, carborundum is typically man-made, produced through high-heat industrial processes that allow the material to crystallize into hard, sharply textured masses. Its iridescent colours are caused by light interacting with the surface and thin oxidation effects, creating shifting rainbow tones across the structure. The result is a highly durable material with a dramatic metallic-crystalline appearance.

Ring material: Brass with gunmetal-tone finish.
Alternative finishes and sterling silver versions may be available upon request, depending on the design.

• Each piece is naturally unique in surface texture and color effect
• Shape, color, clarity and iridescence may vary

Because this piece features natural raw crystals, gentle care will help preserve its beauty.

• Avoid strong impact or dropping the ring
• Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising
• Keep away from perfumes, lotions, and chemicals
• Store separately to protect the crystals
Clean gently with a soft dry cloth when needed.
