BANDALERO Cobalt Ring by J.R. YATES

The BANDALERO - A masculine mans ring of Cobalt.

When I designed the BANDALERO, I was inspired by the Western lifestyle. Working horses and cowboys. Lariats and roping cattle. Actually named after my American Quarter Horse, whom we affectionately call "Bandy".

A braided rope of 14k white gold is the focal point. Surrounded by bright white cobalt chrome. Measures 7mm wide. Comfort fit makes it easier to remove after a long day in the saddle.

Cobalt chrome is a great choice for your wedding band. Why? It has an amazingly bright white color. When I compare cobalt chrome to polished platinum, cobalt is every bit as bright white - maybe even a slight bit whiter! And cobalt chrome does not scratch that easily. Platinum is very soft, and scratches, dings, misshapes very quickly. Cobalt is fairly scratch resistant. It can scratch, but not too easily.

Adding the braided 14k white gold gives a nice subtle warmness to the ring. White gold has alloys added to the pure yellow gold, giving it a "white-ish" color. But it is much warmer hue than cobalt. Combining the two makes an attractive ring. I hope you love it as much as I do.
