Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real safety device?

Yes. This is a real life ring intended for safety; personalization is added for identification and decorative appeal.

Is the text engraved?

No—lettering is marine-grade vinyl applied to the smooth strapless surface for maximum readability and durability.

How does the Two-Color Design work?

You can choose how to use your Primary Color and Second Color. Use the second color as a tight outline around each letter for extra contrast, or assign it to one arc of text (e.g., top black / bottom red). Include your preferences in the Layout Notes box before checkout.

How many characters fit on each arc?

We recommend ~18–20 characters per arc (including spaces). We’ll balance spacing and curve fit during proofing.

What’s the typical turnaround time?

Proof emailed within 1 business day. Production usually takes 1–3 business days after approval; shipping time varies by location.

How do I mount or display the ring?

Hang by the rope on a rail, hook, or inside a cabinet. For secure storage, see our mounting kit and cabinets.
