Stabilized and dyed Sycamore wood ring reinforced by polished and scratch resistant faceted tungsten carbide and waterproof coating. Pictures show optional "patina" tungsten finish as well. Pictures show 8 mm wide rings.

Sycamore wood is known for its light color and subtle grain. Sycamore is valued for its versatility and smooth texture and is native to temperate regions like North America and Europe. Sycamore trees have a distinctive mottled bark that peels away in patches, revealing a smooth, pale trunk underneath. This unique feature makes sycamore tree one of the most recognizable trees in a park or a landscape.

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.
