Kingwood + Steel

Natural and solid kingwood ring reinforced by surgical stainless steel and waterproof acrylic coating. Pictures show 5 and 8mm wide rings.

Kingwood is loved for its unique pattern, sweet honey-like smell, and rich purplish-brown colors, and is native to South America. Kingwood earned its name from its historical association with French royalty, who prized it for its luxurious qualities. Its rarity and elegance make it a coveted material for creating luxury and timeless pieces.

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.
