This engagement band is made from electrum, an alloy of gold and silver. It was created by first weaving a ring in wax wires, and then casting it in an alloy developed by the House of Dubhrós.
Though electrum occurs naturally and was often used in ancient jewelry and art, today it is rarely found commercially, as the silver is extracted from the gold in modern refining. When found in nature electrum contains varying amounts of gold and silver. House of Dubhrós has developed this special standardized electrum alloy that is much harder than either gold or silver alone and never tarnishes because of the high gold content.
This metal is truly magical, with a warm glow that seems to come alive and change depending on the light and metals it is contrasting against.
