Find your ring size
Two minutes with a strip of paper or a soft tape and you will order the right size first time.
Shown in inches and US sizesMeasure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
With a ring that fits (most accurate)
- Lay a ring you wear on that finger on the ruler and measure the inside diameter, edge to edge, in inches.
- Find that diameter in the table below.
With a strip of paper
- Wrap the strip around the base of your finger: it must still slide over the knuckle.
- Mark where it overlaps, lay it flat and measure it in inches: that is the circumference. Find it in the table below.
Measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger.
No ruler? A bank card is 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.
| US | EU | UK | Diameter | Circumf. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 49 | J½ | 0.62" | 1.94" |
| 6 | 52 | L½ | 0.65" | 2.04" |
| 7 | 54 | O | 0.68" | 2.14" |
| 8 | 57 | Q | 0.71" | 2.24" |
| 9 | 59 | S | 0.75" | 2.34" |
| 10 | 62 | U | 0.78" | 2.44" |
| 11 | 65 | W | 0.81" | 2.54" |
| 12 | 67 | Y | 0.84" | 2.65" |
| 13 | 70 | Z+1 | 0.87" | 2.74" |
| 14 | 72 | Z+3 | 0.91" | 2.85" |
| 15 | 75 | Z+4 | 0.94" | 2.94" |
| 16 | 77 | Z+6 | 0.97" | 3.04" |
Half sizes sit halfway between two rows (about 0.4 mm of diameter).
Good to know: measure at the end of the day, when fingers are slightly larger. Wide bands (8 mm and more) feel tighter: if you are between two sizes, take the larger one. Tungsten carbide cannot be resized, so it is worth measuring twice.
Still unsure? Message us with your measurement and we will tell you which size to order.

He stays steady, and the color shows when you look closer.
Nobody sees all of him at first glance, and that is his strength. Turn his hand and the color moves from aqua to deep purple. An 8mm polished tungsten carbide band, heavy enough to feel on the finger. Three inlays run along the top: a bright channel of synthetic opal between two strips of dark abalone shell. US 6 to 15.
Hard tungsten, shell and synthetic opal.
Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials used in jewelry. It marks far less than a steel ring. It is nearly twice as heavy as steel, so you feel it at once. Abalone is a natural shell, so no two rings look exactly alike.
Atlas carried the world. You carry more than people see. Let some of it shine.
Details & specs
MaterialTungsten carbide
InlaySynthetic opal, abalone shell
Width8mm
FinishHigh polish, beveled edges
Ring sizesUS 6 to 15
Thickness2.3mm (0.09 in)
The band is tungsten carbide, one of the hardest materials used in jewelry. It resists scratches and keeps its high polish through ordinary days, and it has a satisfying weight that reminds you the ring is there. The edges are beveled and the inside is smooth, so the 8mm width stays comfortable from the first coffee to the last meeting.
Three channels are set into the face. In the center, a bright strip of synthetic opal; on each side, a darker strip of abalone shell with a natural shimmer. Together they catch the light in blue, green and purple tones. The tungsten is tough, but abalone is a natural shell, so the inlay prefers to stay dry and away from harsh chemicals.
How to wear it
The colors make this a ring to wear on its own. On a plain t-shirt and jeans it gives the outfit a single point of interest; with a patterned shirt it can pick up a blue or a green from the print. Keep the rest of the hand simple: a steel watch on the other wrist and nothing else on the same finger. The ring or middle finger suits the 8mm width best.
Choosing your size
Sizes run from US 6 to 15. Half sizes are offered at 6.5, 7.5, 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5 and 14.5; between 8 and 10 the ring comes in whole sizes only. It has a standard fit, so order your usual size. If you normally wear a half size between 8 and 10, choose the next whole size up, since an 8mm band sits a little closer than a thin one.
Why this piece
Color that moves with the light
Opal and abalone shift from bright aqua to violet with the angle and the light. A man with depth, seen in the right light.
Hard band, natural shell
Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest materials used in jewelry and marks far less than a steel ring. Abalone is a natural shell, so no two rings look exactly alike.
For himself or as a gift
For a partner, a brother or a son who likes a little color. With sizes from 6 to 15, match a ring he already wears and go up if unsure; you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Should the opal and abalone ring come off before a swim?
Yes. The tungsten carbide does not rust, but the abalone shell and the opal inlay prefer to stay dry, so take it off for the shower, the pool and the sea.
Is the opal natural?
No. The center inlay is synthetic opal, chosen for its bright color. The two side strips are abalone shell, with the shimmer that comes from the shell itself.
What outfit suits the opal and abalone inlay ring?
A plain t-shirt and jeans, where it is the single point of color, or a patterned shirt that picks up its blue or green. Keep a steel watch on the other wrist and nothing else on that finger.
Which part is opal and which is shell?
The bright center channel is synthetic opal. The two darker strips on each side are abalone shell, with a natural shimmer.
What does synthetic opal mean?
Opal grown in a lab rather than mined, with the same bright play of color. It is used here for a vivid, even center channel.
Is the band polished?
Yes. The tungsten carbide has a high polish with beveled edges that frame the three inlays, and the inside is smooth.
Does the color look the same all the time?
No. It shifts with the angle and the light, from bright aqua to deep violet, so the ring rarely looks the same twice.
Can I return it if the colors are not what I expected?
Yes, within 30 days of receiving it, as long as it is unworn and in its original Atlas packaging. Return shipping is at your cost.
Tungsten engagement ring for a man, what do you have?
Most men's engagement rings in tungsten are inlay bands. The Opal & Abalone Inlay Tungsten Ring has a synthetic opal and abalone shell inlay, the Black Crushed Opal Tungsten Ring pairs a black hammered finish with crushed opal and a comfort fit, US 6 to 17. For a single sparkle, the Black and Gold Tungsten Carbide Ring sets two cubic zirconia in a gold-tone groove.
