Maplewood is mainly sourced from the Northern Hemisphere, and in its natural form it has a natural charm with its light, creamy tones and fine grain. Symbolizing balance, growth, and timeless beauty, this versatile wood is a favorite for crafting rings and other items. Maple has been cherished for centuries for its versatility, making it a staple in everything from furniture to musical instruments. So, if you're after a wood that's classic, reliable, and just downright beautiful, maple is the perfect pick for your ring inlay.

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.

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-dominant design, tungsten is the one for you.
