Custom Carbon Element Ring – Handcrafted Stainless Steel Cabochon with Glass Dome

I made this stainless steel cabochon ring featuring the chemical symbol for carbon (C) by request of a lovely customer at Etsy. Then I added it to my Etsy store as a regular listing. This custom element ring is perfect for science enthusiasts, chemistry lovers, or anyone wanting a unique, meaningful piece of jewelry.

Creating this custom stainless steel cabochon ring was a joy, especially for such a thoughtful customer. This piece is simple yet striking, featuring the chemical symbol for carbon—a sleek “C” along with its atomic number, 6, and atomic weight, 12.011. It’s designed just like you’d see on the periodic table, with crisp white text set against a deep black background. To give it that unique shine and durability, I sealed it under a polished glass dome that catches the light beautifully.

I love working with stainless steel because it’s sturdy and it doesn’t tarnish with wearing, making this ring great for everyday wear. The glass dome also magnifies the text just a touch, enhancing the look while adding a vintage, almost scientific charm. It’s a perfect fit for anyone who appreciates chemistry, the natural world, or just unique, custom jewelry!

This ring is available on my Etsy shop, where you can choose your favorite element to feature. Whether it’s carbon or something else meaningful to you (hydrogen, oxygen, gold!), I’m always excited to make custom designs that fit each person’s story and style.
