Carbon Fiber is the standard for lightweight and strong material.  Carbon fiber is made by drawing strands of organic polymers, molecules bound together by carbon atoms, and heating in the absence of oxygen such that non-carbon atoms are expelled, leaving a pure carbon strand.  The result is then treated such that it will mechanically bond with resins and woven into patterns depending on the application of the fiber/sheet.  The material is used in many high-end goods, from aerospace to luxury vehicles.

The pattern used in this ring is very finely detailed and finished such that it is as matte as possible.  It is a truly striking contrast with the metal.

The resulting ring is LIGHT AS A FEATHER.  Prepare to be surprised at how light and strong the ring is.

This wooden ring is inlaid with the absolute highest grade Koa you will see. It has a gorgeous deep golden color and unbelievable curl. Koa is known for its "curl," and this is a CURLY piece. This property is a mark of its quality, as only old growth, 80+ year old material is used in this design. It can be difficult to capture in pictures. I was doing some research so that I could describe the effect. I will just quote from a top google result because I cannot improve on this description: 

"Chatoyancy is a property that is usually attributed to certain gems, the cats eye effect or shimmer which gives a sense of depth in the gem. This property can also be used to describe some of the more dramatic pieces of curly, tigerstripe and fiddleback Koa. This figuring gives the wood a three dimensional quality; and depending on from what angle one views the wood, it can take on several completely different characters."*

It is a uniquely Hawaiian wood, and is one of the most prized natural products from the islands.
