  • Where do you get your meteorite?

    All of our meteorite is currently sourced from meteorite dealers that we find either through eBay or that we know through personal connections. We use authentic and genuine Muonionalusta Meteorite for all of our meteorite products.

  • How does the glow work on your glowstone rings?

    The glow comes from strontium aluminate, which is a natural crystal powder that glows after being charged with a UV light. It is nontoxic and glows brighter and longer than copper activated zinc sulfide, which is one of its most popular competitors. Check out our blog post on How Our Glow Rings Glow for more information on how to charge and how long they glow for.

  • What is Damascus Steel?

    Damascus steel is created by combining strips of either iron and steel or two different kinds of steel. They are then heated and forged to create a new and stronger steel. The material has a similar silver color; however, if it is placed in an acid bath, the acid will eat at the different combinations of steel at different rates to form a woodgrain pattern that makes Damascus Steel Rings incredibly unique.

  • What if I order the wrong size?

    We offer one free size exchange for all non-custom rings. Don't hesitate to contact us if you order the wrong size. Email us at support@patrickadairdesigns.com and we will be happy to figure out the best solution for your case.
