ARES – Obsidian Inlay

A tonal expression of solid black diamond and obsidian. ARES is precision-shaped with clean beveled edges and a centered obsidian inlay that introduces subtle depth and contrast into the defining Elysium profile.

Designed as a wedding band and made for everyday wear, ARES – Obsidian Inlay balances the permanence and depth of solid black diamond with a quieter material contrast. The beveled architecture remains strong and defined, while the obsidian becomes part of the band itself rather than an added surface detail.

The ARES Obsidian Inlay

The obsidian runs through the center of the ring in a clean, continuous line. Its placement preserves the symmetry of the ARES profile while adding subtle tonal variation and shifts in surface character across the band.

The inlay is proportioned to the width of the ring: 1mm in the 6mm and 7mm bands and 2mm in the 8mm band. Around it, the beveled edges maintain the structured silhouette that defines ARES.

Solid Black Diamond

Elysium begins with millions of diamond crystals fused under extreme heat and pressure to create solid black diamond. From that material, each ring is precision-shaped and finished for a lifetime of wear.

Rather than assembling a traditional ring and adding diamond as an accent, ARES begins with solid black diamond itself. The obsidian is shaped into that material, creating a single finished ring built around the contrast between two distinct black materials.
