Channeling Helios, god of the sun and unyielding endurance, this hammered band captures the warmth of gold with the resilience of modern metal.

The Helios is built from high-grade tungsten carbide and finished with an 18k yellow gold PVD coating — a vacuum-deposition process that bonds a gold-toned layer permanently to the metal surface. That construction is the whole point of the ring. A solid gold band is soft: it bends out of round, scratches against everyday surfaces, and needs periodic reshaping. The Helios keeps its shape and its shine because the gold you see sits on a core that is far harder than gold could ever be.

The hammered texture is what gives the ring its character, scattering light across an uneven surface so it reads as warm and worn-in rather than polished and formal. It is hypoallergenic, maintenance-free, and will not tarnish.

Common Questions

Is this solid gold?

No. The Helios is tungsten carbide with an 18k yellow gold PVD coating. We build it this way deliberately — solid gold is soft enough to bend and scratch with daily wear, while tungsten holds its shape permanently. You get the appearance of gold on a ring that can take a beating.

Will the gold finish wear off?

PVD is a vacuum-bonding process, not a plating dip. The coating is bonded at a molecular level and is far more durable than traditional gold plating. It resists scratching, fading, and tarnishing under normal daily wear.

Can the ring be resized?

Tungsten carbide cannot be resized. We recommend measuring at the end of the day, when your fingers are at their largest, and sizing up if you fall between sizes — our ring size guide walks through how.

The ring is tungsten carbide finished in rich 18k yellow gold PVD — a vacuum plating process far more durable than traditional electroplating. You get the warm look of gold with tungsten's strength underneath, at a fraction of solid gold's price.
PVD is among the most abrasion-resistant finishes in jewelry, dramatically outlasting standard plating. Avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals and the hammered gold surface will keep its shimmer for years.
Traditional soft gold rings bend and scratch; The Helios keeps its shape forever thanks to the tungsten carbide core, while the hammered texture catches light the way solid gold does. It's also hypoallergenic and maintenance-free.
No — tungsten cannot be resized. Measure with a ring sizer before ordering; if the fit isn't right, contact us about an exchange within the 30-day return window.
