Yes, all rings on our website are original, and designed and innovated by Defender Ring.
Open Rings, Runner Rings, and Concealed Rings are all self defense rings designed as regular jewelry with built in self defense functionality.
All Defender Rings are designed to enhance your natural punches and strikes with a sharp metal self defense piece.
All concealed rings have a sharp blade weapon that can pierce fabric, plastic and thin metal and can cut through human skin.
All open rings have sharp points or beveled edges that can inflict damage and pain to an attacker.
The blade weapons on our concealed rings are big enough to cut blood vessels and strike nerve cells.

Epidermis, the outer layer of skin on humans is on average 1 mm deep and equal to 20% of our Minimalist Ring's blade length.
Dermis, the next layer, is 2-3 mm deep and contains blood vessels and nerve endings. Our Minimalist Rings can fully penetrate the Dermis layer of skin with 60-80% of its blade length.
Our Maximalist Rings have a larger blade weapon and can devastatingly cut through human skin, draw blood, and inflict damage.
Our concealed self defense rings can be unscrewed in approximately 2-3 seconds. With practice, most people can unscrew them in less than 2-3 seconds.
There are 3 instinctive defensive moves that you can use to defend yourself while wearing a self defense ring.
1. Punch
Wear your self defense ring, make a fist, and punch an attacker in the eyes, throat or face to create a deep puncture wound.
2. Slash
Wear your self defense ring, make a fist, and slash an attacker using a sideways motion in the eyes, throat or face to create a long gash.
3. Grab and Pull
Wear your self defense ring on the inside of your palm so the knife is facing inward instead of outward. Grab an attacker's arm and pull to gouge and create a long gash.
1. Inflict Serious Pain to an Attacker
All of our self defense rings have blade weapons that can strike nerve cells and inflict serious pain to an attacker.
2. Cause Significant Damage to an Attacker
Our self defense rings have sharp blades that can cut skin and blood vessels, drawing blood and causing significant damage to an attacker.
3. Collect DNA of an Attacker
All of our self defense rings can collect the DNA of an attacker through skin cells or blood.
Defending yourself with your bare hands may not cause enough damage or pain to an attacker or be able to collect his DNA.
Our self defense rings can supplement your instinctive defensive moves with the ability to rip and tear human skin, draw blood, inflict damage and pain, and collect the DNA of an attacker.
All rings are molded from 316L Stainless Steel, known for its strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and hypoallergenic properties.
As both everyday jewelry and self defense weapons, our rings must be intermittently cleaned and cared for to maintain their appearance and functionality.
Please do not submerge your rings in water or get them wet, as some of our rings have mechanical functionality that can be affected by water.
All ring tops have a nut thread which allow them to connect to the ring band's bolt thread.
All Minimalist Ring tops can be interchanged with all other Minimalist Ring tops and fit on all Minimalist Ring bands.
All Maximalist Ring tops can be interchanged with all other Maximalist Ring tops and fit on all Maximalist Ring bands.
