This wooden ring has a 1mm offset crushed amber inlay and a 3mm hybrid royal walnut inlay.

Royal walnut is a cross between black walnut and claro walnut. Claro is known for its high figure and contrasting grain, and black walnut for its hardiness. The hybrid produces a fine grained wood that often contains extraordinary curl (difficult to capture in pictures). Despite my obvious obsession with rare, colorful, even gaudy woods, I have a strange love of all species of walnut.

The inlay is a variety of colors of baltic amber - crushed, mixed, and inlaid by hand (by tweezer, really) for a pleasing variation in color. Amber is quite translucent when crushed, so the underlying titanium can be seen through the preserved sap. Kind of like stained glass.

You may, however, choose any wood you see in the shop for the 3mm inlay. Just include your choice along with your size in the "message to seller" section at checkout.

Because the stripe of wood is so narrow, only the highest quality, most figured material is selected.

The titanium liner is 6al-4v grade 5 titanium, preferred among jewelers.

Titanium ring sizes run from 4 to 16 including quarter sizes. I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order. Please note, all of my rings are COMFORT FIT.

Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof and soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish.

All rings ship via USPS Priority (or Priority International) Small Flat Rate Box. If you are outside the US and Canada, your only shipping option is Global Express. Please read below for details. Insurance is mandatory for this ring, and included in the shipping charge. You pay what I pay for shipping, nothing more.

For customers outside the US:

Due to changes in USPS policy, international packages sent to countries other than Canada can no longer be tracked past the US border. Insurance claims are also not possible. Due to this change and for your protection, international customers outside of Canada will be required to pay for USPS Global Express shipping ($60.95), which in addition to guaranteeing arrival within 3-5 business days (excepting intervention from your country’s customs department), also can be tracked and insured. I wish I could offer a more economical solution, but cheaper options are too risky.

International customers are responsible for all fees associated with shipping to their respective countries. Orders that are shipped to countries outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; I have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for further information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond the original delivery estimates. It is against the law and I will not mark an item as a "gift" to avoid any fees.
