The fixed bead ring is made from SM316. Like titanium, niobium is inert, hypoallergenic, and can be anodized different colors. These have the appearance of a regular captive bead ring except the ball has been permanently welded to one end of the ring. You are ordering one ring. If you need a pair, please order two. If you're unsure how to open and close fixed bead rings, be sure to check out the video.
