Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) is a tropical hardwood species native to Central America, particularly found in countries like Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. This wood is best known for its stunning array of colors, ranging from deep oranges to rich reds and purples, as well as its unique grain patterns. Symbolizing strength, courage, and a connection to the earth, Cocobolo has long been loved by woodworkers for its amazing qualities. Cocobolo wood is known for its natural oils, which not only contribute to its lustrous appearance but also make it highly resistant to decay and insect damage.

Tungsten carbide is often called the "forever metal", which is why it's an excellent choice to reinforce any wood. This remarkable material combines tungsten, one of the hardest metals known to man, with carbon to create an incredibly durable and scratch-resistant alloy. Tungsten is relatively heavy (especially the 8mm design) but it makes sure your wood inlay ring will withstand the test of time, maintaining its pristine look even with daily wear. It also a great choice if you'd like a more metal-dominant and elegant design for your ring. Optional matte finish is also available for a more rustic look.
