<p>Andrew Nyce Designs announces the launch of a new Collection for our Damascus Stainless Steel rings. For those who prefer a classic, uncomplicated look, the <a title="Essentials Collection Damascus Steel rings by Andrew Nyce Designs" href="http://www.andrewnycedesigns.com/collections/essentials-damascus-stainless-steel-rings.php" target="_blank">Damascus Essentials Collection</a> is a simple, yet elegant design. The distinctive Damascus pattern is the star of this design and can be seen from all sides of the ring. The Essentials Collection of Damascus rings is a counterpart to our <a title="Essentials Collection of Mokume Gane rings by Andrew Nyce Designs" href="http://www.andrewnycedesigns.com/collections/essential-mokume-gane-rings.php" target="_blank">Mokume Essentials Collection</a>.</p>
<p>Rings in the Essentials Collection mirror the look of our <a title="JET Damascus Stainless Steel Men's rings" href="http://www.andrewnycedesigns.com/collections/men-damascus-stainless-steel-rings5.php" target="_blank">JET Damascus</a> Men’s line. However, Essentials rings come in a broader range of widths (from 4mm to 10mm) compared to the JET rings (8mm to 10mm), which are geared toward the wider aesthetics of a men’s ring. Essentials rings also do not have the black oxide coating, which is standard on most of our <a title="Men's Rings by Andrew Nyce Designs" href="http://www.andrewnycedesigns.com/collections/mens-rings.html" target="_blank">Men’s rings</a>. The ring profile is typically domed across the top to maintain the rugged beauty of this collection.</p>
<p>The following design options are available for rings in the Damascus Essentials Collection:</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Adding a Liner</span><br />
An inner liner adds to the strength and longevity of the ring and creates a two-dimensional contrast that complements the steel blue-gray of the Damascus band.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Adding a Black Oxide Coating</span><br />
A black oxide coating creates a striking contrast for the etched surface of the Damascus pattern.</p>
<p>Please note that it is possible to order an Essentials ring with edges only.  You must fill out a <a title="Damascus Stainless Steel Custom Quote Form" href="http://www.andrewnycedesigns.com/collections/damascus_custom_quote.php" target="_blank">Custom Quote Form</a> in order to select this option. Edges enable the Damascus band to stand out by framing it either in warm, vibrant colors (yellow or red gold) or cool, distinguished colors (white gold, platinum or palladium). Framing the band with gold, platinum or palladium only adds to its rarity, making it more of an expression of your personality and character.</p>
