Description
This wood ring uses African Blackwood, which is of the Dalbergia genus & thus considered a "true rosewood". Typically used for instrument making, it is prized for its tonal qualities, hardness, & of course its deep, black color. The dark brown/greyish grain can be seen in bright light, but the overall impression any distance is jet black. It is paired with sleeping beauty turquoise, sky blue with practically none or very little impurities (matrix stone). It is the most prized type of turquoise for jewelry. The titanium liner is 6al-4v grade 5 titanium, preferred among jewelers. Titanium ring sizes run from 4 to 16 including quarter sizes. I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order. Please note, all of my rings are COMFORT FIT. SEE SHOP ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE SHOP PAGE FOR CURRENT SHIP DATE NOTE ON WIDTH: Recommended width is calculated in this way: Size 5 is 5mm wide. Width increases .5mm per full size above that. Sizes 4-9 will have .5mm of titanium on each side of the wood. Sizes 9.25+ will have 1mm. So: Size 5- 5mm - 4mm wood stripe Size 7- 6mm - 5mm wood stripe Size 9- 7mm - 6mm wood stripe Size 10- 7.5mm - 5.5mm wood stripe Size 11+- 8mm - 6mm wood stripe IMPORTANT INFO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE 100% SURE OF YOUR SIZE BEFORE ORDERING Titanium lined wood rings cannot be resized at all! Every ring is made to the exact size provided. An error in sizing that exceeds the margin provided above will necessitate a completely new ring. Refunds & exchanges will not be possible. Please click on the "Policies" link (under Shop Info) to see wood ring care instructions & FAQ. Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof & soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish. Unlike the other styles of rings in this shop, "channel" type rings will always have a seam in the wood. It will be visible, but hard to detect 9 inches or so away, & completely invisible at any distance. I have made no effort to hide the seam in these pictures. If you have difficulty finding it, it is because it is subtle.All rings ship via USPS Priority (or Priority International) Small Flat Rate Box. You pay what I pay for shipping, nothing more.
