Description
Making this style of ring is a test of every technique (and dirty trick) I have developed over the years to manipulate wood & metal. This style features wood on both the interior & exterior of the ring. It can be made with any wood you see in my shop. The wood in this Cobalt ring is Kingwood, so named for its popularity & use among French royalty, is a true rosewood, like cocobolo, blackwood, & tulipwood. It is used extensively in fine furniture & expensive turnings. The stock I use in my rings is gorgeous, with an almost gem-like depth. It has a reddish, violet hue. 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 is satin. 8mm total width 2mm dual wood exterior with two 35 degree supports set 180 degrees from each other These details cannot be changed. This is the first Cobalt ring with a wood interior & exterior 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.
