A curved art deco wedding band in dramatic black ruthenium — alternating baguette and graduated round CZ accents radiating upward in a sunburst crown, traced with fine milgrain detail along the inner curve, on a high-polish band of solid 925 sterling silver finished in dark gunmetal. The contour curve is shaped to nest over a solitaire — pear, oval, or round — crowning your engagement ring like a dark tiara; worn alone, it's a chic geometric statement or stacking ring. Gatsby geometry in gothic black: a wedding band, anniversary band, or nesting ring for lovers of art deco with an edge.

About the Black Ruthenium Color
Black ruthenium reads as a deep gunmetal gray-black — a dark, smoky, mirror-polished charcoal tone — rather than a flat jet black. It's a platinum-family metal plated over the solid sterling silver base, prized exactly for that liquid-dark luster: it catches light the way polished hematite does, making the white CZ accents glow hotter by contrast. If you're expecting matte jet black, this finish is darker-than-graphite gunmetal — we want that to be clear before you order.
Like all dark finishes, the ruthenium plating can soften at high-contact points over years of wear, gradually revealing the bright silver beneath. Re-finishing service is available to restore the full dark luster — message us anytime.
About the art deco crown design
The band's silhouette is a radiant sunburst: emerald-shaped baguette CZ alternating with graduated round CZ, fanning outward and upward from the curve's center — the same alternating-cut geometry found in 1920s tiaras, theater marquees, and Gatsby-era jewelry. A line of fine milgrain beading traces the inner curve, a period-correct art deco detail that frames the open arch. Rendered in dark gunmetal instead of the era's usual platinum, the design lands somewhere new: gothic art deco — vintage geometry carried in darkness, with the white stones burning against the black metal.
About the curved contour fit
The open arch at the band's center is the functional heart of the design: it's shaped to nest over a center stone, letting the band sit flush against an engagement ring with no gap. The curve suits pear, oval, round, and similar rounded-crown center stones — the sunburst rises over the stone like a crown. It pairs naturally with our black ruthenium pear sapphire engagement ring (this is the matching band from that set, available here on its own), and just as well with a solitaire or vintage-style ring you already own.
Worn without an engagement ring, the curve reads as a chevron-style geometric statement — a striking solo band or the dramatic layer in a stacking-ring set.
About the metal and stones
The band is solid 925 sterling silver — not plated base metal — finished in high-polish black ruthenium, a durable platinum-family plating. All accent stones are simulated diamond (cubic zirconia/CZ), cut in baguette and round shapes for the alternating art deco rhythm. At approximately 2–2.5mm, the band is lightweight, comfortable, and built for stacking. Lead-free, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic; genuine 925 sterling silver does not turn skin green.

Sizing & care
True to size and comfort-fit. If you're matching it to an engagement ring you already wear, order the same size. If you don't know your size, message us before ordering — we can send a complimentary ring sizer.
To preserve the black ruthenium finish, avoid harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach, ammonia), abrasive cleaners, ultrasonic and steam cleaners, and remove the band before swimming, gardening, or heavy work. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth only — never abrasive polishing cloths on the dark finish. If worn stacked daily, expect contact points to soften sooner, and store it separately or nested with its partner ring in the box.
Frequently asked questions
Is the black finish jet black or gray?
Deep gunmetal gray-black — a dark, smoky, mirror-polished charcoal tone, like polished hematite. It is darker than graphite but not a flat jet black. The high-polish finish catches light, which is exactly what makes the white CZ accents glow against it. If you're expecting matte jet black, please note the difference before ordering.
Which engagement rings will this band fit around?
The contour curve is shaped for rounded-crown center stones — pear, oval, round, and similar silhouettes — sitting flush with no gap. It's the exact matching band from our black ruthenium pear sapphire engagement ring set, and it nests equally well over most solitaire and vintage-style rings. If you're unsure about your ring's profile, message us a photo before ordering and we'll confirm the fit.
Can I wear this band on its own?
Yes — without a center ring, the curve reads as a chevron-style geometric band. It wears beautifully solo as a statement piece, as a midi or stacking ring, or as the dark layer in a mixed-metal stack.
Are the stones real diamonds?
No — the baguette and round accents are simulated diamond (cubic zirconia/CZ), cut in the alternating shapes that create the art deco rhythm. If you'd like moissanite or diamond accents on a solid 14K gold custom version, message us before ordering.
Will the black finish wear off?
Black ruthenium is a durable platinum-family plating over the solid sterling silver base, but like all dark finishes it can gradually soften at high-contact points over years of daily wear — especially where it touches a stacked ring. Gentle care extends it significantly, and a re-finishing service is available to restore the full dark luster — message us anytime.
How wide is the band?
Approximately 2–2.5mm at the band, with the sunburst crown rising taller at the center arch. It's lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, and slim enough to stack without crowding the finger.
Does this match the black sapphire engagement ring set?
Yes — this is the exact coordinating band from our pear blue sapphire black ruthenium bridal set, offered individually for buyers who already own the engagement ring or want the band alone. Order the set listing if you'd like both rings together.
Will this band turn my finger green?
No. The base is genuine solid 925 sterling silver under the ruthenium plating — lead-free, nickel-free, and hypoallergenic. Green skin reactions come from low-quality base metals, not real 925 silver or ruthenium.
Can I get this band in bright silver or solid gold?
Yes — message us before ordering. We can quote the same art deco crown band in bright sterling silver (no black finish), or in solid 14K white, yellow, or rose gold with upgraded accent stones.
What's included in the box?
The band, a free luxury velvet jewelry box, and a care card. Free USA shipping.
