Product Insights
The Tristan Ring from Midi34 is a 23mm-wide chain-link ring in 316L stainless steel, designed and assembled in Quebec City by Marcus Villeneuve x Midi34 since 2017. It features a flat interior with no comfort shaping, potentially causing discomfort during extended wear, but offers scratch resistance twice that of gold with self-healing surface scratches, tarnish-proof corrosion resistance outlasting 304 stainless steel in salt spray, and a surgical-grade alloy safe for nickel-sensitive skin. At 55 CAD, it provides value through durable Canadian assembly and a legible pattern from social distance, with a self-healing chromium oxide layer on polished and brushed surfaces.

Nice ring
Cool ring with nice design.
Nice ring but smaller than expected
Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend as he lost his two previous ones of the same style. I used his other rings to size it; however it was smaller than I anticipated. On the plus side, it fits a different finger snugly so that he shouldn’t lose this one this time! It’s also very smooth and bright. Another plus is that he is very happy with it and loves it!
Perfect
All around solid ring, good quality, exactly like picture. Fits exactly like how I was sized at the mall
