Anvil Rings’ “Guitar String” Ring

PSA: Anvil Rings has since been rebranded as Thorum. ➡️

Anvil Rings (formerly known as “Grand Junction Guy”) is an Etsy shop owned by Caleb and Stephanie Martin, who live and work on the Western Slope of Colorado. They handmake a number of stylish and classy rings, two of which are perfect for any musician’s wedding, engagement, or style.

Each 8mm-wide ring features an offset phosphor bronze guitar string inlay — specifically, a low ‘E’ string — with a lustrous color that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding ring metal. They’ve got two main colors to choose from:

  1. Titanium ($310 $155 as of October 30th, 2019) — Made from jewelers grade 5 6AL-4V brushed titanium and sealed on the inlay with titanium aircraft adhesive before being polished with beeswax.
  2. Black Tungsten ($190 $95 as of October 30th, 2019) — Made from jewelers grade tungsten carbide, which is hard enough to cut steel and will never fade.

Now, there’s actually a third style that’s not listed on their Etsy page, but is available directly from the shop’s own website: Stonewashed Titanium ($360 $180 as of October 30th, 2019), which is more muted and worn-looking than the brushed titanium one above.
