Our Max Ring (named after Max von Laue and his ground breaking work with crystal structures), features a striking faceted design with precisely cut geometric surfaces that create a captivating crystalline appearance. This sophisticated ring showcases exceptional craftsmanship with its multifaceted exterior that catches and reflects light from every angle, while maintaining a smooth, polished interior for ultimate comfort. The angular, three-dimensional facets create dramatic visual interest and depth, giving this ring an architectural quality that's both modern and timeless. Perfect for those who appreciate geometric precision and contemporary elegance.

Max's experiments with copper sulphate crystals produced the first X-ray diffraction patterns, demonstrating both the wave nature of X-rays and the precise geometric arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials. Von Laue's discovery enabled scientists to study the structure of crystals and marked the origin of solid-state physics, laying the foundation for X-ray crystallography. His work became fundamental to modern chemistry, biology, and materials science, ultimately contributing to breakthroughs in understanding DNA structure and protein analysis.

This ring has been named after the remarkable Max von Laue, a pioneering German physicist who revolutionized our understanding of crystal structures. Born on October 9, 1879, von Laue won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1914 for his discovery of X-ray diffraction by crystals. In 1912, during a walk through Munich's Englischer Garten, von Laue conceived the brilliant idea that X-rays passing through crystals would create diffraction patterns, revealing the atomic structure within. His experiments with copper sulphate crystals produced the first X-ray diffraction patterns, demonstrating both the wave nature of X-rays and the precise geometric arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials. Von Laue's discovery enabled scientists to study the structure of crystals and marked the origin of solid-state physics, laying the foundation for X-ray crystallography. His work became fundamental to modern chemistry, biology, and materials science, ultimately contributing to breakthroughs in understanding DNA structure and protein analysis. Einstein praised von Laue's work as "one of the most beautiful discoveries in physics" Max von Laue - and today his legacy lives on in every crystal structure we understand, making him the perfect namesake for a ring that celebrates the beauty of geometric precision.

Our skilled team digitally creates all images in our 'Create Your Ring Online' selection. The images are not photographs but are photorealistic. Most are designed with the aid of AI, and many start with a sketch on paper or Procreate as their foundation. Many are reworked with Photoshop. This is to create the most accurate images of rings that are yet to be made, providing a representation of how these rings will look in person. Once you choose your design, we will create your ring to the specifications you have chosen, including width and ring size. We guarantee your ring will be very close to, if not exactly the same as, the supplied images in line with Australian consumer law. The ring you will receive is unique to you.

If you prefer to see photos of a real ring that is available for purchase from our inventory, check out our 'Ready to Wear' collection. Here, you'll find a curated selection of unique rings that our team has carefully crafted. These are available for immediate shipping or pickup from our store in Adelaide's East End.

These guys are amazing at what they do. They created my beautiful engagement ring, as well as both of our wedding rings. We appreciate the stories behind all of the gems that they use and the hard work they put into all their creations. They are clearly passionate about what they do and I recommend them very highly.
