316L surgical steel – durability without compromise
The rings in the collection are made from high-quality 316L surgical steel, known for its hypoallergenic properties. Unlike silver, steel does not tarnish or oxidize with use, and it retains its shine without constant cleaning. An Ilkka Marttiini steel ring is an investment in comfort, as the material is skin-friendly and feels light and pleasant on the finger. The rings are available in several widths, such as the delicate 5 mm model and the more striking 9 mm version, offering options for every taste.
Finnish design for engagement and wedding rings
Many choose an Ilkka Marttiini ring for its industrial and clean design language. Steel has grown in popularity, especially as a men's wedding ring, as it holds up well against scratching during physical work or hobbies. The design of the rings is timeless, often combining matte and polished surfaces that add interesting depth to the piece. As it is Finnish design, the rings fit seamlessly into a Scandinavian style and represent a high-quality domestic perspective on modern jewelry art.
Choosing and engraving a ring
When choosing a steel ring, it is important to note that due to the hardness of the material, the ring size cannot be altered afterward using traditional methods. Therefore, we recommend confirming the correct size in our store. We offer professional engraving services for the rings, allowing you to personalize the jewelry with a name or date, for example. All rings are delivered in an elegant case that protects the jewelry and serves as the perfect finishing touch for a gift. Welcome to explore the extensive Ilkka Marttiini collection and find a durable and stylish Finnish classic for your finger.
Frequently asked questions about Ilkka Marttiini rings
Why choose a steel ring over a gold one?
A steel ring is an excellent choice due to its durability and price. Steel does not scratch as easily as gold and does not lose its shape even with heavy use. It is also a completely maintenance-free material that does not require polishing to look good.
Can the size of a steel ring be changed?
Due to the hardness of the steel, the size of Ilkka Marttiini steel rings cannot be increased or decreased after they are manufactured. For this reason, it is very important to measure the finger size carefully before ordering.
Is a steel ring suitable for someone with a nickel allergy?
Yes, the 316L surgical steel used in the rings is extremely pure and designed to be skin-friendly. It is the same material used in surgical implants and piercings, making it suitable for most sensitive users.
How should an Ilkka Marttiini ring be cleaned?
A steel ring is very easy to care for. Mild soapy water and a soft cloth are usually sufficient for cleaning. You do not need to protect the ring from water, and it withstands daily exposure, such as hand washing and showering, very well.
