Brushed Black Tungsten Deep matte, scratch-resistant.

Bourbon Barrel Wood Amber grain, aged twelve years in Kentucky.

Engraved Signature MAISON KARDINAL inside, in the logo's typography.

Lifetime Warranty On material and craftsmanship.

Brushed black tungsten carbide. In the center, a wide band of Kentucky bourbon barrel wood, resin-stabilized.

The barrel held whiskey for twelve years before being dismantled. The American white oak retained its amber color and the vanilla notes of aged wood.

The wood no longer smells of bourbon. But its grain and density come from one place only.

A material that was already used before becoming this ring.

Care

Tungsten does not tarnish. The barrel wood is resin-stabilized but prefers controlled humidity. Occasionally rub a few drops of teak oil to preserve the hue. Avoid prolonged chlorinated baths.

Description

Tungstène carbure noir brossé. Au centre, une bande large de bois de fût de bourbon Kentucky, stabilisée résine.

Le fût a contenu du whisky pendant douze ans avant d'être démantelé. Le chêne blanc américain en a gardé la couleur ambrée et la note vanillée du bois vieilli.

Le bois ne sent plus le bourbon. Mais sa veine et sa densité viennent d'un seul endroit.

Une matière qui a déjà servi avant de devenir cette bague.

Entretien

Le tungstène ne ternit pas. Le bois de fût est stabilisé résine mais préfère l'humidité contrôlée. Frottez occasionnellement quelques gouttes d'huile de teck pour préserver la teinte. Évitez les bains chlorés prolongés.

Lifetime warranty

Every Maison Kardinal piece comes with a lifetime guarantee on its structure: tungsten, steel, and inlay setting. If the material fails, we replace it.

The guarantee does not cover intentional scratches, loss, or damage from extreme use. Tungsten is scratch-resistant in everyday use: it can crack under very strong mechanical pressure (dropping on concrete, heavy impact). In this case, we also replace it.

See full warranty details

You wear the piece for twenty, thirty, fifty years. It remains functional. This is our commitment, and it is engraved in the MAISON KARDINAL signature engraved on each ring.

What is covered

The structure of the ring, against manufacturing defects.

Detachment of an inlay (meteorite, wood, opal, gold flakes) if the cause is a manufacturing defect and not an impact.

Abnormal tarnishing of a material guaranteed to be unalterable (tungsten, 18k gold).

Breakage of the hand-setting on Aurore and Galaxie pieces.

The interior engraving of the engraved MAISON KARDINAL signature, for life.

What is not covered

Intentional breakage or major impacts (crushing, violent impact against a hard metal object). Tungsten is very hard but brittle: a violent impact can break it cleanly.

Loss or theft of the piece.

Size modification. Tungsten cannot be re-sized (the material is too hard to be recut). In case of incorrect size, we offer a free exchange within thirty days of delivery.

Normal wear and tear of wood (Bourbon) or opal (Galaxie) if the piece is exposed to prolonged immersion, chemicals, or thermal shock.

How to activate the warranty

Step 1. Find the engraved MAISON KARDINAL signature inside your piece, or indicated on the provenance booklet received at the time of purchase.

Step 2. Send an email to contact@maisonkardinal.com with your engraved MAISON KARDINAL signature, two photos of the piece (overview and view of the defect), and a description of the problem.

Step 3. We will respond within 48 hours with return instructions.

Step 4. After receipt and expert assessment, we will replace the piece identically or repair it as possible. The interior engraving will be transferred to the new piece.

Lead time: between two and five weeks depending on the piece and material availability.

Value

Method 1, With an existing ring

The most reliable method if you already own a ring that fits you well.

1

Choose a well-fitting ring

Select a ring that you wear comfortably on the desired finger. Make sure it is not too tight and does not spin.

2

Measure the inner diameter

Place the ring flat on a ruler and measure the inner diameter in millimeters (from one inner edge to the other).

3

Consult the chart

Transfer the measurement to the chart above or use the converter. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger size.

Method 2, With a string or strip of paper

Ideal if you don't have a reference ring.

1

Wrap the string around your finger

Take a string or a thin strip of paper. Wrap it around the base of the desired finger, passing over the knuckle.

2

Mark the crossing point

With a pen, mark the exact spot where the string crosses. The string should be snug but not tight; it should be able to slide over the knuckle.

3

Measure the length

Unroll the string and measure the length between the two marks in millimeters. This is your circumference. Enter it into the converter above.

Important Tips

Measure at the right time

Your finger size changes throughout the day. Measure at the end of the day, when your fingers are at their largest. Avoid measuring when you are cold (shrunken fingers) or after physical exertion (swollen fingers).

Our rings are comfort fit

All Maison Kardinal rings are comfort fit (rounded interior). They slide on more easily than standard flat-interior rings. If you are used to classic rings, your comfort fit size may be the same or half a size smaller.

Between two sizes?

Always choose the larger size. A slightly larger ring will be comfortable, while a ring that is too tight will be impossible to wear. Our tungsten rings cannot be resized, so choosing the correct size is essential.

Tungsten cannot be resized

Unlike gold or silver, tungsten is an extremely hard metal that cannot be enlarged or reduced. In case of an incorrect size, we offer a free exchange within 30 days.

The wood has already been used

Dismantled after twelve years in a Kentucky distillery. The American white oak has retained the amber color and vanilla note of aged wood.

A material that has already been used before becoming this ring.

What's left of the whiskey

The wood no longer smells of bourbon.

But its grain and density come from one place, one barrel, one story of oak and fire.
