Swamp Ash + Ceramic

Stabilized and colored "Swamp" ashwood reinforced by black ceramic and acrylic waterproof coating. Picture shows 6mm width.

Ash wood in its natural form has light-colored tones and prominent grain. This wood is a real workhorse, coming from regions all over the Northern Hemisphere and being used for everything from baseball bats to furniture. Ash wood has a long history of being associated with strength and resilience, which is why it's often used in items that need to withstand a lot of wear and tear. It's like the unsung hero of the woodworking world!

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.

Ceramic's combination of durability, scratch-resistance, and lightness make it perfect for inlayed wood rings with a slick, modern look. If you are looking for a super hypoallergenic option, you can't go wrong with ceramic. It's more brittle than the metal options, but it's more than strong enough to be worn everyday if you don't have a very heavy duty job. It's also resistant to discoloration so they'll keep their beauty for a long-long time. Optional matte finish is also available for a more rustic look.
