Material Composition | Everyday wear, active lifestyles | Industry Standard: 14k gold (ISO 17073) Our Base: 92.5% sterling silver + carbon fiber (ISO 527-2: 7000 MPa tensile strength) Our Advanced: Sterling silver + carbon fiber + 18k gold inlay (ASTM F1941 corrosion resistance) | ▲ Advanced: Gold inlay adds luxury and durability. Lightweight (carbon fiber: 1.6 g/cm³) vs. gold’s 19.3 g/cm³. | Base lacks premium gold aesthetics; Advanced may cost more. |
Durability | High-impact activities (e.g., sports) | Industry Standard: Gold (Mohs hardness 2.5–3) Our Base: Carbon fiber (Mohs 4) Our Advanced: Same as Base + gold inlay | ▲ Base/Advanced: 4x more scratch-resistant than gold. Withstands 50+ chemical exposures (ASTM D543). | Gold inlay may require extra care to avoid abrasion. |
Comfort | Daily wear, sensitive skin | Industry Standard: Solid metal (rigid) Our Base: Silicone lining (ASTM D2000 compliant, flexible) Our Advanced: Same silicone + gold inlay | ▲ Base/Advanced: 30% thinner profile (2mm vs. traditional 3mm) for comfort. Hypoallergenic (nickel-free). | Silicone may degrade over time in extreme heat. |
Customization | Personalized gifts, weddings | Industry Standard: Limited to engravings Our Base: Custom engravings + 5 color options (ISO 3664) Our Advanced: Custom inlay patterns + 10 color combinations | ▲ Advanced: Unique gold-carbon hybrid designs. Adjustable sizes (6–15, ISO 8653). | Custom designs incur 1–2 week production delay. |
Aesthetic Design | Formal events, modern styling | Industry Standard: Classic metal bands Our Base: Matte carbon texture (ISO 25178: Ra 0.8 μm) Our Advanced: Gold interior contrast + polished edges | ▲ Advanced: Bold visual contrast for statement pieces. Sleek, modern look vs. traditional designs. | Not suitable for conservative traditional settings. |
Chemical Resistance | Industrial work, chemical exposure | Industry Standard: Gold (resists tarnish but corrodes in acids) Our Base: Passes ASTM F739 (30+ min exposure to 50+ chemicals) Our Advanced: Same + gold’s acid resistance | ▲ Base/Advanced: Safe for lab/medical environments. Outperforms gold in chlorine/acidic conditions. | Requires periodic cleaning to maintain certifications. |
