Design and Visual Impact
The Ocean Blue Polaris features a 14x10mm octagon synthetic sapphire set in oxidised sterling silver. The contrast between the bright blue stone and the dark finish makes it impossible to ignore. The Crypt, on the other hand, is a quiet piece: three small crossbones on a 2mm double band. It nods to the brand's bone origins without shouting.
Both rings are handmade from wax masters, so you get a unique piece either way. The Polaris is oversized and dramatic; the Crypt is delicate and symbolic.
Wearability and Versatility
The Crypt's slim 2mm band sits easily on any finger and stacks well with other rings. Its low profile means it won't snag on clothing or get in the way during daily tasks. The Polaris, with its large stone, is more of a standalone piece. It commands attention and pairs best with simple bands or worn alone.
If you plan to wear your ring every day, the Crypt is the more practical choice. If you want a piece for evenings or special occasions, the Polaris delivers maximum impact.
Trade-offs at a Glance
- Statement vs Subtlety: The Polaris uses a large synthetic sapphire that demands attention. The Crypt relies on small bone motifs that reveal themselves up close. Choose Polaris if you want to be noticed; choose Crypt if you prefer a personal symbol.
- Stone vs Symbol: Polaris centers on a gemstone with no symbolic meaning beyond its name. Crypt directly references the brand's crossbone heritage. Polaris is for gem lovers; Crypt is for those who connect with gothic iconography.
- Price and Value: Polaris is priced at USD 86.10 (was USD 123.00). Crypt is USD 46.92 (was USD 69.00). Both offer handmade craftsmanship, but Crypt is more budget-friendly. Polaris costs nearly double but includes a large synthetic sapphire. Crypt gives you the same quality at a lower entry point.
