Description
Bay Laurel is one of those those woods (like rosewood, or ironwood) that goes by so many names its practically meaningless. in Oregon, this wood is known as Oregon Myrtle. Elsewhere, by other names. No matter where it grows, the burl of this wood is unique, with pale green, bluish, & brown hues. I use only the highest figure stock. Every ring is guaranteed to have burl eyes. The outer portion of this ring is made of Cobalt - the most scratch resistant & shatterproof material I offer. Like titanium it is hypoallergenic & biocompatible. However, in many circumstances under which your Titanium ring might scratch, Cobalt will not. It is an alloy that is identical to Platinum in color, but it is an order of magnitude stronger. Cobalt offers nearly the scratch resistance of Tungsten Carbide, but unlike Tungsten, Cobalt will not shatter if dropped. The ring pictured is a satin finish, but a polished finishes is also available. The ring is also a domed profile (vs. a flat profile), which can also be changed. Just add the details you like in the "message to seller" section at checkout. This is the first Cobalt ring with a wood interior ever offered. 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.
