Since the early 2000’s Tantalum has been a staple in our lineup of unique wedding bands. We pioneered this unique element as a jewelry metal and have continued to refine our techniques and designs to bring out the best of what Tantalum has to offer. Combined with an inlay of luxurious 18K Yellow Gold, Palladium 500 Mokume Gane, this Tantalum ring bridges an ancient art form with a space age metal. The addition of the flush set natural SI quality brilliant white diamonds makes this ring truly special. Tantalum, when crafted into a ring, boasts a lustrous, gunmetal gray hue, creating a sleek and modern aesthetic that stands out among traditional wedding band materials. The interior of the band is finished to perfection and like all of our rings it has generously rounded edges and a comfort fit. Clean-out holes have been drilled for each diamond to allow for proper cleaning behind the stones to keep them shining like new.
In addition to these SI quality diamonds, we offer VS quality Canadian Fair Mined and Lab Grown diamonds. Please reach out if you would prefer one of these options.
TANTALUM wedding bands also come in matching women’s sizes.

About Tantalum
Tantalum, a refractory metal denoted by the chemical symbol Ta, is known for its exceptional physical and chemical attributes that make it a prized material across diverse industries. It has many functional uses in cutting-edge electronics, medical implants, aerospace components and military applications. While its remarkable corrosion resistance, ductility and durability makes it indispensable in these industries, the main reason we love it and have been working with it for over 20 years, is its rich beauty as a jewelry metal. There is truly nothing like it.
Tantalum has a captivating rich, blue-gray hue and is the darkest naturally colored metal known. This unique visual aesthetic combined with its hypoallergenic nature, corrosion resistance and durability make it an ideal material for jewelry purposes. However, working with tantalum presents substantial challenges due to its extremely high melting point, low thermal conductivity and unwillingness to be machined. This requires the expertise of skilled artisans well-versed in its properties and limitations. Machining and hand crafting tantalum demands a comprehensive understanding of its behavior while using different tools and under many conditions, adding to its allure as a material that requires intimate knowledge. As one of the first in the world to use tantalum for jewelry purposes, we have devoted the time and invested in the tooling and knowledge needed to work with this impressive metal. Each Steven Jacob tantalum ring is individually crafted and finished to perfection in our Colorado studio.
