The Weight of our Rings

About the weight of our rings:

All of our metal weights are in Troy ounces, which is what precious metals are weighed in. Most commodities in the U.S. are weighed in avoirdupois which is 28.3 grams per ounce or 16 ounces to a pound. There are 12 ounces to a Troy pound, instead of 16 ounces, which makes a Troy ounce weigh 31.1 grams. We mention this so that you understand that a Troy ounce is heavier, therefore a ring weight in Troy ounce is heavier than normal.
