The Fields
Any one-piece Polarium™ ring can be magnetized with a Single-field, while rings made of more than one component can be configured with either Single-field or Multi-fields.
Single-field Polarium™ has a broad range of attraction, and will be playfully drawn to most metal objects and other Single-field Polarium™ jewelry.
Multi-field Polarium™ maintains an exclusive attraction designed to confine the magnetic force within the piece itself. Multi-field Polarium™ jewelry is attracted only to its own components and will not be drawn to other metal objects, or effect watches and credit cards.

Polarium™ is one of the toughest and most durable permanently magnetic materials in the world today.
