The Brand
Dark & Volfram, a venture birthed out of necessity. Men all around us are beginning to marry and looking for wedding bands. The more men talk about their rings, the more we realize how few of them have a brand to recommend. It would seem guys are either spending $500+ on pure soft metal rings from big ticket jewlers or ~$50 on questionable quality rings from massive online marketplaces. We want to bridge the gap and supply strong, quality rings to the everyman.
THE GROOM SERIES
THE LIFESTYLE SERIES
THE PRODUCTS
Our product offering currently consists of two lines. The "Groom Series," a collection of three timeless iterations of one classic design—our flagship line. The "Lifestyle Series," the collection carried alongside our flagship line boasting the same three iterations but in a bolder design. Every ring we carry passes multi-stage quality control and rigorous testing to ensure both longevity and durability. Click here to shop styles.
THE FOUNDERS
Dark & Volfram was an idea brewing for a few years before entrepreneurs Conrad and Adrian bootstrapped the project and launched it in mid-2019. Conrad is a graphic designer and illustrator currently running a boutique design agency, while Adrian works with the executive team in the ecommerce division at Loblaws. Both currently reside in the Fraser Valley, Canada.

The Name
From the outset we knew we wanted to include black Tungsten rings in our business. There's something inherently 'manly' about tungsten, which means "heavy stone". Although the element was originally translated to "Wolfram" when brothers José and Fausto Elhuyar first isolated the element in Spain, there are pieces of literature that cite it, referring to it as "Volfram." This is where the inspiration of the name Dark & Volfram came from.
