One of my favorite materials to make jewelry out of is meteorite. I think meteorite is the perfect material to create luxury jewelry because it is a truly rare and unique material. Each piece of meteorite jewelry, from Patrick Adair Designs, is one of a kind because the pattern on them is created by the iron and nickel in the meteorite crystallizing as they cool over millions of years.  The one-of-a-kind nature of our meteorite ring makes it a truly unique mens ring. Since every ring is unique they make an amazing mens wedding band. I mean who doesn't want a ring...

Today I am going to be making a ring out of timascus which is one of my new favorite materials. We get our timascus from Alpha Knife Supply. I think the timascus colors and striped pattern will look really cool on this ring. After I am done creating the shape of this ring, I want to heat anodize it to help bring out even more of its unique colors. I sell rings like this and other unique material rings on my website, so go check it out! The Process: The first step I needed to do was to cut off...

For this ring, I worked with The King of Random to create some rods out of molten brass from bullet shells, meteorite pieces, and titanium that I could then use to make some pretty cool rings.

The Process: To start off, I needed to grind down the rods that we made into a more circular shape, so they would...

Today I finally got the opportunity to make a ring for someone that has been a HUGE inspiration to me, Jimmy Diresta. I had the amazing opportunity to go spend some time with him over the summer, and he was generous enough to give me one of his famous ice picks. Well, today I decided I wanted to return the favor and create a ring for him that is inspired by his ice pick. I decided to take a piece of brass and machine it into a hexagon shape, so that it would closely resemble his ice pick. I then...

To make this one of a kind ring, I used 5 different ingredients. To start out with the base of the ring, I used a proprietary blend of forged carbon fiber, that I got from the CEO, John Paul, of Carbon 6 Rings. One thing that is so great about forged carbon fiber is all the layers are blended together, so it is not likely to crack or split while I am cutting into it. I wanted to make this ring look like a tech/cyborg ring, so I wanted to add as much glow as I could to the design....
