A Series of One Thousand Metre Journeys: Journey #1
In the first of a series of special one thousand metre journeys, in which we keep our horizons firmly limited and refuse to travel more than 1000 metres from our London base, we headed over to White Cube to explore conceptual thought and artistic interpretation.
Ring etiquette
Traditionally graduation rings are worn on the ring finger of the right hand. But we think the other fingers also make viable options for your graduation ring. With a little help from Pinterest, we have compiled a collection of images to help you decide which finger is right for you:
Perfect for: The Signet Ring
Palmistry: Named after the winged messenger god, Mercury, the little finger is thought to reveal communication abilities and be the centre of self-expression.

The newly crafted 1.5mm band ring, our slimmest and most discreet band ring yet.
We’ve managed to get the same elegant engravings from our full size band rings on to one with a width of just 1.5 mm, and the inside engraving is still free.
A Few Special Steps: The hand painted finish of our white gold rings
Each metal we use to make our rings requires very different processes and every ring has a few special steps the because of the metal or the design that are unique to it and took as months and in a number of cases years to develop.
Our white gold require an additional ten processes to complete in comparison with the sterling silver. For instance, the antique process we use to finish our sterling rings is not as effective on white gold, so we specially hand paint each ring in black rhodium to achieve a similar effect. The result is a richer finish that we think compliments the stronger tones of the white gold. The white gold example is on the right above, the sterling silver is on the left.

The wearing of rings on multiple fingers, across both hands, is one of our favourite extravagances.
Pinky Rings for Women
Wearing a pinky ring has always been part of an elegant code, and this year we rethought one of our original signet rings with the pinky in mind. The result is a simpler ring, with a diminutive design that looks especially stylish when worn on that finger.
The ultra thin Band#1.5 was also designed partly with the pinky in mind and its slight contours definitely lend themselves to being worn on the littlest finger. It can be worn by itself or paired and stacked with another piece in your collection.
Secretly though, we have always liked wearing the Imperial #1 as a pinky ring. We find it adds a real bit of chicness to simple everyday outfits.

Supporting your purchase for a lifetime
We are constantly working to improve our customer experience and have developed a more useful customer account. As part of this, we will keep an account open for you as long as you want us to. Firstly so we can make the ordering and production process easy for you to follow and manage, but more importantly so that we can support you in any future maintenance of your ring for as long as you need us.
We have built the customer account system around the idea of helping you figuring your measurements and style preferences, and then storing that information online using the wish list.
To have your finger measured visit a local jeweller, one of our partner shops or request a ring sizer. To create a wish list just configure a design using the order form and then click on the wishlist button. Alternatively, you can discuss your design preferences and finger measurements with one of our advisors by email or telephone and we will configure a ring with your help and put it online for you to edit.
The Help Desk
Our rings are designed to last a lifetime or more, and we believe they do so by drawing on both modernity and tradition. While we can’t promise our rings will always be future proof, we can guarantee that we will do everything we can to help you maintain your ring.
For this reason we archive the specifications, design and mold of every ring we make, as well as an individual identity number should you wish to contact us at any time in the future about your ring.
The “HELP DESK” section of our customer account system has been built with this in mind, and is your first point of access to our records. It also makes it easy for you to contact us about maintaining your ring should you wish, years down the line, to have your ring re-plated, re-sized or even re-modeled.
