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.  So here it is, the good stuff.  I only have enough for 5-6 rings, then its gone.

The outer portion of this ring is made of Cobalt - the most scratch resistant and shatterproof material I offer. Like titanium it is hypoallergenic and biocompatible. However, in many circumstances under which your Titanium ring might scratch, Cobalt will not. It is an alloy that is identical to Platinum in color, but it is an order of magnitude stronger. Cobalt offers nearly the scratch resistance of Tungsten Carbide, but unlike Tungsten, Cobalt will not shatter if dropped.

The ring pictured is a sandblasted finish, but a polished or satin finish is also available.

Please see this page regarding the special nature of a sandblasted finish

The ring is also a flat profile (vs. a domed profile), which can also be changed. Just add the details you like at checkout. 


Sizing

I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you believe 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.

NOTE ON WIDTH:
The minimum width for this style is 5mm. The maximum is 8mm.
Recommended width is calculated in this way: Size 5 is 5mm wide. Width increases .5mm per size above that. So:

Size 5- 5mm
Size 6- 5.5mm
Size 7- 6mm
Size 8- 6.5mm
Size 9- 7mm
Size 10- 7.5mm
Size 11+ - 8mm

An error in sizing that exceeds the margin provided above will necessitate a completely new ring. REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE.
