Dalmatian Ebony + Faceted Tungsten

Natural and solid Dalmatian ebony wood ring reinforced by polished and scratch resistant faceted tungsten carbide and waterproof acrylic coating. Pictures show 6 and 8 mm widths.

This wood is a prime example of hidden gems. I've worked and met with hundreds of woods before I found this beauty, and I this is the wood that I still show my followers when we are talking about surprising finds. I had no idea this existed and it's still very hard to find. The piece that I found was supposed to be a billiards cue but it had a huge crack all the way in the middle....lucky for me. ;)

Dalmatian Ebony, scientifically known as Diospyros crassiflora, is a very rare hardwood species native to tropical regions of Africa, particularly found in countries like Cameroon and Gabon. This wood is famous for its deep black color and creamy patterns. The distinctive "spots" or streaks in Dalmatian Ebony are caused by mineral deposits in the wood.

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.
