My everyday wearable rings are waterproof and safe for every day enjoyment. I suggest removing them if you are going to do anything strenuous with your hands because although they are mostly constructed by strong titanium or sterling silver, the inlay could still crack if exposed to a lot of pressure. It takes quite a large amount of force to destroy the titanium element. I make all of my fully carved items from start to finish by hand. These are pieces of art work and are made from bone-art isn’t always practical. Please know that in order to have a functional piece of jewelry made from bone that can stand up to wear, I have to carve them thicker than an average piece of metal jewelry. These also require special care and come with care instructions. These are not an everyday wear piece of jewelry-they are artwork that is intended to be worn on special occasion. Please do not expect these to be as comfortable or practical as my everyday wearable full inlay rings.
