Walnut bentwood ring with inlaid buying copper - customizable

This unique Walnut with inlaid copper ring is hand-made using the bentwood technique. With this technique, thin strips of wood shavings are softened in boiling water, rolled in a ring, and glued together using cyanoacrylate. The resulting rings are sized to the desired dimensions, and sanded smooth. The rings are finished with a layer of cyanoacrylate to provide a smooth and very durable surface, and polished to a shine. The finished rings are smooth to the touch, and have a low profile of 2mm, making them very comfortable to wear. For this, it is important to get the correct ring size. You can usually get your size measured in any good jewellery store.

The ring pictured is US ring size 8 1/4, and has a width of approximately 4.5mm. The default width of the rings I make is 5mm. If you desire any other width, please put it in the personalisation options. Other types of wood are available by selecting them in the pulldown menu. All woods I use are FSC certified. Keep in mind, wood colours and grains can vary slightly between rings, and might not exactly match the photographs. However, this does make each ring unique.

While it is ok to get the ring wet from time to time, I do recommend taking buying the ring off when washing hands of showering, in order to keep it in excellent condition for as long as possible. That being said, I and my family and friends have test-worn these rings extensively, washing and disinfecting hands several times a day, without any problems.

The options in this Etsy listing already give some limited ways to customize a ring. However, if this design or any other of my listings is not entirely to your liking, I'd be more than happy to come up with some custom design, so feel free to contact me for that.
