Arizona Desert Ironwood Wood Ring With Turquoise Inlay Titanium

This wooden ring is made with Arizona Desert Ironwood & it can range in color from deep red to brown to orange & yellow. Each piece is unique.

It has the depth & chatoyancy of a cat's eye gem. It is, of course, amazingly strong & heavy.

I heard it is one of the hardest & densest woods in the world. Accustomed to working with Ebony, & Lignum Vitae, I expected to be unimpressed.

Only upon getting some cutoffs & putting drill to it did I realize just how worthy of the name ironwood this material is. It is nearly 20% more dense than Gabon Ebony (1.

2 specific gravity as opposed to 1. 03- it will sink in water).

It is one of the rarest (it grows only in the Sonoran Desert) & oldest species of wood that still lives. It is a natural choice to pair with turquoise, not only because the colors are at opposite points of the color wheel, but because the result is the classic colors of the American Southwest.

Each ring is handmade to order, so the stone band width may vary very slightly, & will always remain relative to the overall band width. 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.
