Men's Rings

Whether chosen as an engagement ring, a wedding band, or a distinctive everyday jewel, Ecksand men’s rings are designed by Creative Director Erica Bianchini to project his very essence. Each ring is crafted in our Montreal atelier using more solid gold of recycled origin or sustainable platinum than the industry standard, ensuring lifetime durability for the man who expects nothing less.

Set with ethically sourced natural or lab-grown diamonds and gemstones, these creations bring a distinctive expression of character. From minimalist bands to hand-sculpted gold silhouettes, every men’s platinum ring or gold design reflects a commitment to responsible materials and Canadian artistry.

Home Cleaning

Platinum and gold are precious metals well-suited for everyday wear. With proper care, your ring will preserve its brilliance and remain in exceptional condition for decades. Here are our recommendations for maintaining your jewel over time.

For routine care, prepare a solution of warm water and mild soap. Let your ring soak for a few minutes, then gently brush it with a soft-bristled toothbrush using small circular motions. This simple method effectively removes soap residue, natural skin oils, and everyday impurities. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry using a soft, lint-free cloth. A chamois cloth can be used to polish platinum and restore its natural brilliance, while also enhancing the luster of gold—whether yellow, white, or rose.

Although platinum and gold are strong enough for daily wear, fine surface scratches may naturally appear over time. These micro-marks are part of the life of a jewel and reflect years of wear. Unlike many other metals, platinum does not lose material when scratched; the metal is simply displaced. Gold, whether yellow, white, or rose, will also develop subtle surface marks as it naturally ages.

Professional Polishing

An occasional professional polishing can restore your ring’s original finish and brilliance. For rings set with diamonds or gemstones, this service also provides an opportunity to verify that each stone remains securely set.

A few simple habits can help preserve your gold or platinum ring for years to come. Consider removing your ring during intense physical activity, manual work, or gardening to avoid repeated impacts. Household chemicals may temporarily dull the brilliance of both platinum and gold. When using cleaning products, it is recommended to remove your ring as a precaution.

The natural patina of platinum and gold

Over time, your ring may develop a natural patina. Platinum often takes on a soft satin finish, appreciated for its authentic character and subtle vintage appeal. Gold may also develop a delicate patina depending on its alloy and daily wear, adding depth and personality to the piece. If you prefer a brighter appearance, a simple professional polish can restore the mirror-like shine of your ring. This is one of the enduring advantages of precious metals: your jewel can evolve with time while always retaining its intrinsic value and beauty.
