Beat Poet concrete rings are an awesome use of reclaimed cement that is cast onto stainless steel. Rings are made unique as they are worn, chipped, bumped and otherwise 'personalized' by the wearer.
The rings are inspired by Brutalist architecture; the reclaimed concrete that makes them comes from demolished buildings, among other sources. Each Beat Poet concrete ring style is available in either a black or a natural finish.
Implications - The cement rings can come in contact with water and nothing will happen to them except some possible expansion and contraction that could result in a few cracks. The Beat Poet concrete rings are not gender specific, so both boys and girls can enjoy them.
