Why you'll love it

Six things worth knowing.

6 reasonsSpecification below
  • A thousand filaments a strandThat is what 1K means. Most carbon runs three thousand to a strand, and a thicker strand draws a bigger pattern.
  • Carbon all the way throughNo metal core, no sleeve, no inner liner. That is also why it weighs about a gram.
  • Matte, not polishedA gloss coat turns a weave into a reflection. This one stays a texture you can find with a thumb.
  • The narrower of the twoSame weave and finish as the 8mm, so the only thing you are choosing here is how much band sits on your hand.
  • Wear it in the showerWaterproof and resistant to household chemicals, with no nickel in it to irritate skin that reacts to metal.
  • One free return or exchangeNothing gets resized. If the size is wrong, you get one free return or one new ring, within 30 days in the USA.

A plain black band is a shape, not a surface. Tungsten, ceramic and silicone are solid all the way through, so there is nothing to see up close and nothing to feel at all. This one has a grid on it, and the grid is the point.

The weave here runs 1K carbon. That number is the count of filaments in each strand woven over and under: a thousand, against three thousand in the 3K carbon that most rings are made from. Finer strands sit closer together, so the checkerboard they form is tighter and the texture is something you register with a fingertip. Since 2007 we have specialized in carbon fiber, and this is the weave we reach for when the surface is the whole argument. It costs more and it covers ground slower on the bench, which is why it is not the default anywhere. The finish is matte, not polished, so nothing bounces off it. There is no metal in it at all.

This is the narrower of the two Gridlocks, at 6mm, with the 8mm alongside it if you want more of it on the hand. Sizes run 7 to 14 with half sizes, each one built to order, so allow a few days before it ships. Get the size wrong and you get one free return or one new ring inside 30 days. Pick a width, pick a size, and wear something with an actual surface on it.

Free return or size exchange

Every ring comes with one free return or one free size exchange, within 30 days, USA only. Because each one is built to order, an exchange means we make you a new ring in the size you need rather than altering the one you have.

This is what 1K looks like

Every strand there is about a thousand filaments. Most carbon runs three thousand, and a thicker strand makes a bigger pattern. These are finer, so the grid is tighter.

Questions people ask

8 questions

Use the CarbonFG ring sizing guide, which has a printable chart and a ring sizer you can order. Every order includes one free return or one free size exchange within the USA, so a first miss is covered. Because each ring is built to order, an exchange means making a new one rather than adjusting the one you have.

It is the number of filaments in each strand of the weave. 1K strands carry a thousand filaments. The 3K carbon used on most rings, including our own Ultra line, carries three thousand to a strand, and a thicker strand makes a larger pattern. Thinner strands make a finer, tighter checkerboard, which is the pattern you are looking at. 1K also costs more and works slower, so it usually turns up where somebody cared about the surface.

Wider reads as more of a statement and narrower is quieter on the hand, and neither is more correct. Width also changes the fit: a wider band sits tighter, so if you are a 10 in a narrow ring you may be a 10.5 in a wide one. Measure for the width you actually intend to buy.

Within 30 days in the USA you get one free return or one free size exchange, whichever you prefer. Tell us the size you need and we build a new ring, since a made to order carbon band is not something we can open up and adjust. Shipping on that exchange is covered.

No. There is no metal in it to cut, stretch or solder back together, so a carbon band cannot be opened up the way a gold or silver one can. What we do instead is build you a new ring in the size you need, and you get one free return or size exchange within 30 days in the USA.

None. It is carbon fiber all the way through, with no metal core, sleeve or inner liner. That is why it weighs a gram. It is also why the hypoallergenic part is straightforward rather than a coating question: there is no nickel in it to react to in the first place.

It is waterproof and resistant to household chemicals, so showers, dishes and sweat are not a problem and you do not need to take it off for them. Carbon is stiff rather than soft, so we would treat it the way you would treat any hard band around heavy equipment and take it off for that.

Some do. There is nothing about it that is specific to one or the other, and a ring with no metal in it suits people who cannot wear the usual metals or who work with their hands. The thing to know before you commit is that it cannot be resized later, so the size you pick is the size you keep.
