Carbon Fiber Rings

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Carbon Fiber Rings are Elegant and Eye-Catching

— March 12, 2014 — Fashion
The carbon fiber jewelry ring is a fashionable ring that can be worn by both men and women. It was designed by brothers and engineers Jack and Patrick Aubin of Seattle.

Having experience working with carbon fiber in the aerospace and healthcare industries respectively, the brothers decided to band together and apply their knowledge to create a carbon fiber ring. The ring is made entirely of aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, the carbon fiber is molded and manipulated into a ring-like shape. Each ring is then sliced, sanded and polished by hand.

The use of carbon fiber means the ring is highly scratch-resistant and durable but incredibly lightweight at the same time.

The ring contains absolutely no metal, which makes it a great option for people allergic to nickel, a common allergen that is present in a lot of jewelry. It comes in a range of sizes for folks of different finger girths.
Trend Themes
1. Carbon Fiber Jewelry - Opportunity for creating other carbon fiber jewelry pieces using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.
2. Scratch-resistant Accessories - Potential for developing other fashion accessories made with highly scratch-resistant materials like carbon fiber.
3. Nickel-free Jewelry - Space for designing and producing jewelry that is free from common allergens like nickel.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - Innovation opportunities in the fashion industry to incorporate carbon fiber into accessories, offering durability and lightweight properties.
2. Jewelry Manufacturing - Disruptive innovation possibilities in the jewelry industry by creating unique and hypoallergenic pieces using carbon fiber.
3. Aerospace Manufacturing - Potential for utilizing aerospace-grade carbon fiber technology in other industries, such as aerospace manufacturing, to enhance durability and lightweight properties.
