The Onyxion 6mm Tantalum Stepped Edge Wedding Band

Premium Tantalum Men's Wedding Band with Brushed Center and Stepped Polished Edges - 6mm Widt

The Onyxion combines tantalum with stepped edges at 6mm width, which is about as narrow as you want to go with complex edge work. Any thinner and the steps start looking too small to appreciate. At this width, the detailing still shows but doesn't overwhelm the ring.

Stepped edges mean more machining time on tantalum, which already costs extra to work with. Creates this layered look that catches light differently than simple bevels. More sophisticated than plain bands but not as busy as some heavily detailed designs.

Six millimeters in tantalum still has weight but won't dominate your hand. The stepped edges add visual interest without adding bulk. Good compromise if you want tantalum's properties and some design elements but don't want a chunky ring.

The brushed center makes practical sense - tantalum shows scratches and the texture helps disguise daily wear. Those polished stepped edges will definitely show dings though. More surface area and different angles means more places for damage to be visible.

Standard tantalum issues apply. Can't resize it, expensive, most jewelers won't work with it if you need repairs. The stepped edges make any potential refinishing even more complicated since you'd need to recreate those precise angles.

This works for guys who want something more interesting than a plain band but not as flashy as high-polish or heavily textured rings. The stepped edges give you detail to look at without being obvious from across the room.

Medical grade and hypoallergenic like all tantalum. Won't tarnish or corrode, so the finish contrast between brushed center and polished edges should stay consistent over time.
