-In the 1989 underwater masterpiece drama The Abyss, Actor Ed Harris as "Bud" saves his own life
-The movie was quite a success, and 12 years later, still has legions of fan-clubs, circles, newsgroups... also, people's interest got piqued by that mighty ring that saved Bud's life.
-This special ring was conceived after the mention from a customer of ours about the use of a high grade titanium ring in this movie. The "high grade" is clearly mentioned in the script.
-The "Abyss replica" ring was brought into creation by our company, as documented in the commentary in the DVD special edition of
-This ring replica idea was successful enough, as you will now see "Abyss" rings showing in many places, but we are the only titanium jewellers who can brag about having our website mentioned in such a successful movie...
Although it is not specifically said in the movie, Bud had his ring custom made from a piece of titanium. The book give many hints to the reader... "She noticed he was wearing the massive titanium band she'd bought him."
-This ring style was carefully noted and reproduced in aircraft grade titanium (Ti 6Al/4V), as it is used in tactical submarines as well as higher level aeroplanes.
-Bud's ring is very wide : close to 15mm in width. It is also quite thick to resist the hydraulic door treatment. Its aspect looks close to a raw "industrial cut", with no specific jewellery finish, making it look very manly and strong !
-We also do offer our "Abyss" replica in extra-hard aircraft grade Ti 6Al/6V/2Sn for increased strength. All Ti 6Al/4V and 6Al/6V/2Sn models come with a choice of jewellery finishes for aesthetics and more refined aspect, but you can always choose the raw finish for a more authentic look.
