Show Report: Scott Kay’s SK Cobalt
At the recent Couture show, Scott Kay launched a new collection of men’s wedding bands in a proprietary alloy called “SK Cobalt.” The company isn’t releasing details or images at this point but brand spokesperson Dan Scott did confirm that the bands are made from an alloy that contains cobalt. Bands are about the same weight at palladium bands and have a standard white metal appearance. The collection in the new alloy will allow the brand to compete against the price-points of tungsten carbide and titanium bands. “It won’t shatter like tungsten, it’s a molten metal,” Scott says.
Because retail blogger Shanu Guliani has already remarked on the similarity between black titanium bands displayed at the Scott Kay booth this year and styles from the Edward Mirell brand, which has a patent on black titanium, it is perhaps worth noting that Edward Mirell also sells rings in a patented cobalt alloy called “CobaBlue,” that has a similar appearance to the new SK Cobalt.
I’ve seen the Cobalt rings and they really are great! Better looking shine than platinum, and virtually as scratch resistant as tungsten carbide. I think they will be a big hit.
I’ve seen these too- he is calling the “SK COBALT” something about a special blend of metal to make them stronger and brighter. They look better then some other stuff I have seen in the same price points- and there is a lot of stuff out there. I only saw men’s bands though. Good looking designs Mr. Scott Kay!
We saw Scott Kay Cobalt live and I must admit, Mr. Kay has again taken a “nothing” metal and made it into a branded deisgner line. I’d say everything he touches turns to gold, but that wouldn’t be accurate in this situation. We’re proud to be carrying his lines. Best seller in our stores. Scott Kay Cobalt is due to arrive in September for us… can’t wait. Excellent price points.
FYI, Cobal is a known carcinogen. Google cobalt and you will find out more

Cobalt is not a carcinogen, it’s needed for human life and without it, it leads to pernicious anemia, which can be fatal. In addition, Cobalt is used in dental prosthetics!!! We just ordered my fiance’s ring and cannot wait to receive it…the pieces are stunning!
wow gold
Cobalt is new and upcoming. It can be another alternative to titanium and tungsten. It probably needs more press/news online for it to get noticed and sales improve.
