Engineer’s Facetted Ring - Black Zirconium

Engineer’s Facetted Ring – Black Zirconium

Crafted by hand with purpose and precision, the Black Zirconium Engineer’s Ring features bold, hand-cut facets in a satin matte finish balanced with a polished centre line, creating a striking contrast that sets it apart. Each ring is individually finished in our Scottish workshop, ensuring no two are ever identical.

Made from premium jewellery-grade black zirconium, this ring undergoes a specialist heat treatment that creates a deep, permanent black finish with ceramic-like hardness comparable to sapphire. Unlike plated alternatives, this black will not wear away, offering exceptional durability and fade resistance for everyday wear.

This design was originally inspired by one of our customers, Simon M, an engineer whose quiet strength and attention to detail shaped more than just his career. His wife affectionately nicknamed this design “Maple,” a nod to its Canadian roots and the gentle strength it represents. What began as a personal commission has become a lasting part of our collection, carrying with it the same respect, meaning, and love that first brought it to life.

True North Forge’s Black Zirconium Engineer’s Ring is available in 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm widths, with UK sizes from J to Z. Each piece is designed with a comfort-fit interior for daily ease and can be personalised with free engraving inside, perfect for adding a meaningful message, name, or date. Before crafting your ring, we include a complimentary ring sizer to guarantee the ideal fit.

Finished with satin-matte hand-cut facets and a polished centre line, this ring offers a modern interpretation of the traditional Engineer’s Iron Ring worn in Canada and the US as a symbol of ethical responsibility and craftsmanship. Though not officially affiliated with any institution, our version honours those same values of care, dedication, and accountability.

Handmade in Scotland by True North Forge, this ring represents quiet strength, personal integrity, and a commitment to one’s work and relationships. It makes a meaningful wedding band, promise ring, or statement piece for anyone who values durability, symbolism, and refined design.

Traditionally worn on the pinky finger of the dominant hand, it serves as a daily reminder of humility, responsibility, and commitment to ethical practice. It also stands out as a bold, understated wedding ring — rich with symbolism and made to last a lifetime.

Inspired by the Oath of the Engineer

“I am an Engineer. In my profession I take deep pride. To it I owe solemn obligations...”

Our ring draws from the values in the Oath of the Engineer — a lifelong pledge to humility, responsibility, and service. Though not part of any official ceremony, this version honours that message through thoughtful craftsmanship and personal meaning.

Care Instructions
