Laser Etch Cobalt and Aspen Wooden Ring
Laser Etch Cobalt and Aspen Wooden Ring
The quintessential wood of the mountains. Or maybe just the Rockies. How should I know, I live in Wisconsin!
Current ship date for this Laser Etch Cobalt and Aspen Wooden Ring is 6-8 weeks.
Rush order will have your ring shipped within 28 days.
Aspen is a tough wood to work with. It is soft. I infuse the material with resin before working it to make sure it is hard and durable. Then it is finished with my proprietary resin coatings to ensure it is waterproof and long-lasting.
The etch on this one is “Mountain” (creative, I know); but there are many different motifs to choose from. All of my rings are hand made to order, so commissioning your own custom etch is possible. You would have to provide the image file of appropriate size and format. Please message me for details.
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 pictured ring is polished, which is the only finish I recommend for laser etched cobalt.
This is the first Cobalt ring with a wood interior ever offered.
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

Each ring is given multiple coats of a hybrid epoxy finish, which is completely water-proof and soap proof. This protective coating is sanded up to 12,000 grit for an unbelievable, glass-like finish.
