-
High strength-to-weight ratio: Zirconium is lightweight but strong, making it comfortable for daily wear without compromising toughness.
-
Corrosion-resistant: It resists corrosion from water, sweat, and most chemicals, making it ideal for long-term wear.
-
Hypoallergenic: It’s biocompatible, meaning it’s safe for those with skin sensitivities.
-
Moderately scratch-resistant: While zirconium is harder than silver, gold, and platinum, it’s not as scratch-resistant as materials like tungsten or ceramic.
-
The black finish on zirconium rings is created by heat-treating the metal, forming a zirconium oxide layer. This oxidized surface is harder than raw zirconium but can still show scratches with heavy or abrasive use.
ZiRO rings are supremely comfortable, hypoallergenic and available in a range of unique, modern and classic styles.
ZiRO Black Zirconium rings are made in New Zealand from the mineral Zircon (ZrSiO4), which is found in S-type giant stars and the sun. When exposed to extreme heat, Zirconium forms a distinctive black coating which has a texture similar to ceramic.
