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.

Unlike traditional gold plating, PVD plating ensures longevity, preventing the gold layer from wearing off over time. Plated rings are highly durable but the gold plating may be susceptible to scratching, making these rings more sensitive than raw tungsten counterparts. The plating is surprisingly durable and should take many years to see any sign of scratches. Of course, this also depends on the wearer. Underneath the gold plating, it's good old tungsten carbide, so these rings match the weight of actual solid gold.

Production time is about 90 days for PVD plated rings at the moment since we plate multiple rings from multiple orders for now.
