Superconductor rings are quite pricey due to their scarce availability, aligning their cost closely with that of gold rings. Crafted from entire rods of superconductor material, these rings are composed of a tough Copper and Titanium-Niobium alloy. The intricate and time-intensive process of creating these rings further contributes to their high cost. The image shows a 10mm slice of a superconductor rod. We have already bored the centre out ready for the lathe. This superconductor blank will have many hours of work being lathed and hand finished prior to etching and polishing to achieve the finished superconductor ring pictured in front.
