Buckeye is scientifically known as Aesculus spp., and is a hardwood species native to North America, primarily found in regions like the eastern United States. Buckeye wood is often used for making small specialty items like pens, bowls, and decorative pieces due to its interesting appearance and workability. In folklore, the buckeye tree is associated with good luck and protection, with the seeds believed to bring prosperity and ward off evil spirits.

Stabilized wood undergoes a process where it's infused with resin to enhance its durability and sexyness. This treatment not only makes the wood more resistant but also allows for vibrant dye colors to be added, resulting in a beautiful and unique look. Essentially, it's like giving wood a durability upgrade while also opening up a whole new world of color possibilities. So, if you're looking for a material that combines both resilience and aesthetic appeal for your ring inlay, stabilized wood is an excellent choice.

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.
