If you are part of this statistic, treat yourself to a beautifully designed carbon fiber ring.
Carbon fiber rings are durable, lightweight, and timeless. Learn more about what carbon fiber is, its numerous benefits, and why you should get a carbon fiber wedding band.
What is Carbon Fiber?
Carbon fiber has been around since 1860. Sir Joseph Wilson Swan first created carbon fiber in 1860 to use in early incandescent light bulbs. In 1879, Thomas Edison created it when he baked cotton thread. This process carbonized them to create an all-carbon-fiber filament. Unfortunately, Edison didn't continue his experimentation and carbon fiber became an afterthought for awhile.
It would take more than 50 years for carbon fiber to make it back onto the radar of manufacturers. In 1958, a researcher at a technical center in Cleveland, Ohio accidentally created a new form of carbon fiber. From there,carbon fiber began being used by various scientists and researchers who worked to create more cost-effective methods of producing the material.
The version of carbon fiber used today is largely derived from methods invented in the late 1970s. That's when carbon fiber became stronger and more lightweight, as well as less expensive to produce. Carbon fiber's natural color is black and while black carbon fiber is the most popular, there are many variants, including blue carbon fiber and green carbon fiber among others.

Pros of Carbon Fiber Rings
There is a vast range of positives for using carbon fiber for your ring material. Let's cover a few of the mostimportant ones.
Durability
The heating process allows carbon fiber to be incredibly robust. When you are buying a ring, you will want it to last. Carbon fiber allows for this.
The durability gives extraordinary strength, giving it the ability to withstand the everyday wear and tears of your life. In fact, its durability combined with its lightweight properties have made it very useful in the aerospace industry.
Some ring materials may crack when placed under enough pressure. You won't have this worry with a carbon fiber ring.
Hypoallergenic
It has been known that some jewelry material will cause irritation to the wearer's skin. Such irritation can be a huge negative when it comes to rings.
Luckily for you, carbon fiber is a hypoallergenic material and contains no metals or additives. Those of you with allergies will have nothing to worry about when choosing carbon fiber for your ring.
Affordability
Due to the ease of creation, carbon fiber is reasonably priced. On average, carbon fiber rings are more affordable than alternatives such as tungsten and titanium rings.
Carbon fiber rings can be as cheap as $50. If you have a set budget in mind for your purchase, it will be far easier for carbon fiber rings to hit that budget than some other materials.
Lightweight
Hold a carbon fiber ring in one hand and a ring of different material in the other. You will instantly notice the difference in weight.
Carbon fiber boasts of being an incredibly light material. It is said to be around three times lighter than titanium, one of the lightest metals out there.
Having a carbon fiber ring allows you a stylish ring without feeling it on your finger, perfect for those who don't love the weight and feel of jewelry/rings.
Stylish
Due to the versatility of carbon fiber, manufacturers can use it in a range of different ways. There is the ability to create some outstanding designs such as our Signature Series. The potential style of your ring is almost limitless with these black carbon fiber inlay rings. One of the greatest attributes to carbon fiber is its natural glossy black color. Black wedding rings have become more and more popular and while a lot of people have been choosing black titanium or tungsten rings, carbon fiber is the superior choice. The former materials aren't naturally black and are plated to get that sleek black color. This plating will rub off over time very easily whereas the glossy black from the carbon fiber is easily maintained. This black material goes extremely well with metals such as rose gold, yellow gold, white gold, cobalt chrome, etc.

Our Favorite Carbon Fiber Wedding Rings
If you couldn't tell, we absolutely love carbon fiber and working with carbon fiber. Due to its durable and lightweight properties, it is extremely easy to machine and work with, allowing for some awesome and intricate designs. However, our favorite designs are the simple ones. Carbon fiber speaks for itself so we came up with two designs that are simple but breathtaking.
Pure Carbon Fiber Ring
Our Pure Carbon Fiber ring is made of a beautiful twill weave Aerospace grade carbon fiber. The Pure Carbon Fiber Ring is the first ring ever sold by Patrick Adair Designs and is still a best seller to this date. It's simple and sleek, yet the twill weave has an intricate pattern that can be really appreciated up close. Each pure carbon fiber ring is comfort fit and extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear.
Created with luxury-grade carbon fiber, it has a stunning, almost wood-like texture. It boasts high durability and scratch resistance. You also get the luxury of a lifetime warranty with one free resizing.
In addition to being beautiful, symbolic, and interesting, some couples choose black wedding rings as a practical necessity. Many people work in jobs that use manual labor such as construction and manufacturing. These professions use tools and machinery that could scratch metal bands and crush even the hardest gemstones.
It would be sad to forego wearing a symbol of love because of practicality while on the job, but many people are forced to do this. However, durable black metal or rings are growing in popularity because of their hardness and strength.
These rings can be worn in all sorts of conditions without breaking, which can provide peace of mind to the wearer.
Obsidian Carbon Fiber Ring
The Obsidian Carbon Fiber Ring is created from the same Aerospace grade carbon fiber as the Pure Carbon Fiber Ring. With all the positives of the original pure carbon fiber ring, you know it will last.
The main difference between the two rings is the exterior. Each Obsidian Carbon Fiber ring has unique hammered facets that are hand done for each and every ring. Each ring will have a unique pattern of facets making them truly one-of-a-kind. Not only is it stunningly created, but it will also last the tests of time.
