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.
This wooden ring is lined 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. It is very 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.
