Black Titanium Bonded Steel Suspension Rings
Black Titanium Bonded Steel Suspension Rings
Our classic shibari ring now comes in black! A steel ring is one of the most common rings used for rigging.
These black shibari rings are made from same stainless steel, have a high polish steel finish applied, and then get a titanium plasma bonding coat to apply the black finish. This finish is different from a normal steel powder coat or an aluminum anodizing: the titanium coat bonds to the steel and will not rub off or wear away. Like any metal, it can be chipped or scored with enough force, but it will not wear off from regular rope use.
These suspension rings have not been sent out for 3rd-party independent laboratory testing. They do not have an official certified weight/kN rating. Suspension is a high risk practice and should only be engaged in with someone who has experience, or under the direct supervision of an experienced individual. That said, our rings are made of 1/2" solid stainless steel bar.
Full specs:
- Outside Diameter: 6" or 9"
- Inside Diameter: 5" or 8"
- Thickness: ½"
- Weight: ~1-3lb
- Material: Stainless Steel with titanium bonded coating
NOTE: No two coatings will be identical. There may be be 1-2 small line marks on the ring where it was hang-dried on a wire after the coat. This is not a defect and will not enlarge, spread, or reduce the integrity of the coating or ring.

Whilst not used yet, it does signify intent, and one might as well start as one means to go on, taking it seriously with the choice.
First thought it was a little expensive, but great quality
The quality of finishing was perfect. Welds were ground smooth and blended perfectly, prior to finishing. The quality and durability of the black finish is exceptional. Not a single inclusion, dust flake, or bullseye in the coloring. The attention to detail and quality makes a product that will not snag or damage ropes, and will continue to look exceptional during repeated use. This focus on detail and quality means I will be purchasing from this shop again and can recommend any product they sell without hesitation.
This is beautiful and functional.
It’s perfect exactly what I was looking for.
