Product Insights
The Gabriel Ring from Midi34 is a 39 CAD stainless steel ring with a PVD gold coating that resists scratches, tarnish, and water, requiring only a dry cloth for care. It is hypoallergenic for most wearers due to the durable 316L steel and PVD barrier limiting nickel contact, though it is only available in whole sizes 8–11 with artisan-inspected fit consistency. The core promise is a durable, affordable gold-tone ring that doesn't need polish; the tradeoff is the limited size range and the coating's barrier that may not suit all metal sensitivities.

Deep Research
What 'made in Canada' means for this ring
- The 39 CAD price — on par with many overseas-made rings — indicates that Midi34's localized production model avoids the typical 'made local' premium, meaning buyers get Canadian craftsmanship at an import price.
- Because Midi34 operates in small batches from Quebec, each 4 mm band receives artisan-level inspection at every stage, from the initial shaping to the final PVD color check, delivering a consistency of finish that mass-produced imports struggle to match without a price increase.

Q&A
5 answered- Is the ring available in half sizes, or only whole sizes like 8, 9, 10, and 11?
- The Gabriel ring is only available in whole sizes: 8, 9, 10, and 11. We do not offer half sizes for this style.
- What is the thickness of the PVD gold plating, and how does it hold up to daily wear and scratches?
- The product listing does not specify the exact thickness of the PVD coating, but for rings intended for daily wear, industry standards recommend a thickness of 1.0 to 2.0 microns to resist abrasion [1]. PVD coating forms an atomic-level bond that is highly scratch- and tarnish-resistant [2], so this ring should hold up well under normal use.
- Is the 316L stainless steel nickel-free or hypoallergenic for sensitive skin?
- 316L stainless steel contains 10–14% nickel, but it is considered hypoallergenic for most people because the nickel is tightly bound in the alloy, resulting in very low nickel release [3]. However, individuals with severe nickel allergies may still react [4]. For those with extreme sensitivity, we recommend consulting a dermatologist.
- What is the recommended care routine to maintain the PVD gold finish and prevent tarnishing?
- To maintain the PVD gold finish, avoid direct shocks and abrasion against hard surfaces. The ring can be worn in water without risk of tarnishing [5]. For cleaning, simply wipe with a soft, dry cloth. No special polishes are needed.
- Is the 'golden' color a classic yellow gold tone or more of a rose/white gold finish?
- The 'golden' color is a classic yellow gold tone. The ring is described as having a 14k gold PVD plating, which gives a warm yellow gold finish [6].
