As far as I can google, this is the first damascus steel exterior wood ring ever made, at least until the imitators start noticing. The Damascus Steel used in this ring is extraordinary, even for Damascus steel. This deeply etched and dramatically colored piece of folded steel is handmade, one-by-one. In this case, that ring is then 14k gold plated. The high spots are polished, and the gold remains in the recesses.
Bloodwood, obviously so named for its bright red heartwood color, comes from tropical South America. The stock used in this ring came from a customer a few years ago. I have no idea how he sourced just a vivid, deep red piece. Since working this particular stock, I have been on the lookout for its equal, but Ive only found duller, almost desaturated stock.
Sizing
Note on width:
6mm is the only width available for this ring. If you require a wider ring, there are very limited options:
7mm or 8mm. However, it will be $40 per mm.
