Product Information
What material is used in your product?
The Gear Ring is fabricated using 316L, which is the highest quality surgical stainless steel in the jewelry market. Stainless steel has properties which make it highly durable and resistant to tarnishing, fading, scratching, and rusting. It will not bend or break and is hypoallergenic for those with metal allergies.
How do I know which ring size to order?
If you are uncertain of your ring size, please refer to our sizing chart to guide you. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and the sizing chart MUST be printed. You can not obtain your measurement by viewing the sizing chart on your monitor. Our rings are available in whole sizes, so if you are a half size, we recommend ordering the next whole size up (one half size larger). Our sizing chart represents ring sizes for the US and Canada.
How come I don't see my ring size available?
The current ring sizes we have available are standard US sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & 20. Please refer to our sizing chart for details. We will have other sizes available for sale shortly. If you would like to request a particular size or custom order, please contact us.
How do I care for my stainless steel Gear Ring?
To care for your Gear Ring, it is recommended to soak it in warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth. Please be sure to not use any harsh abrasives or household chemicals which may damage its natural protective coat. Please note that certain grainy materials (such as sand) may clog the gears, making the ring difficult to spin, and may be difficult to remove. Do not try to dismantle or modify the construction of the ring in any manner as this may make it become impossible to repair. We kindly request that you contact us should the need arise. Finally, as with any piece of jewelry, please take caution and do not wear while working with any machinery, equipment or hazardous substances.
Do you offer engraving services for the inside of the Gear Ring?
We are not able to offer engraving services directly. One of the main reasons we do not offer this service is due to errors in sizing. We gladly offer size exchanges but this would become complicated if rings were engraved prior to making sure the ring fits. However, we do recommend taking the Gear Ring to a local jeweler once you confirm that you have the size that fits.
How is my order packaged? May I send it as a gift? Is there gift-wrapping available?
Your Gear Ring will arrive in a Kinekt Design box. You may add a gift tag to any order, free of charge. We are currently unable to offer gift-wrapping service.
The Gear Ring is awesome! Will there be any other products by Kinekt Design coming out soon?
Kinekt Design is always striving to bring you new unique products. Please be sure to check back for new announcements on our website. To be sure you don't miss any new product launches, please join our mailing list.
