American Walnut + Steel

Natural and solid American black walnut wood ring reinforced by surgical stainless steel and waterproof coating. Picture shows 8 mm wide ring.

American Walnut is scientifically known as Juglans nigra. It's a hardwood species native to North America, particularly the eastern United States. This wood is loved for its rich chocolate brown color, straight grain, and smooth texture, making it a popular choice for high-end woodworking projects. Symbolizing warmth, resilience, and timeless beauty, American Walnut has been a favorite among craftsmen for centuries.

Surgical stainless steel is a great choice for a wood ring core. It's lightweight, affordable, and its minimalist design showcases the natural beauty of the wood inlay. While it's not completely scratch-resistant, any scratches that do occur are hardly noticeable since there is minimal surface area that comes in contact with other surfaces. It's also technically hypoallergenic, but if you prefer an extra level of safety, ceramic is a great alternative. For a more sturdy and metal-focused design, tungsten is the one for you.
