 Tough yet tasteful, that's the fastest way to describe the qualities of this special Titanium and Desert Ironwood Ring. This exceptional wood wedding ring showcases a continuous inlay of pure desert ironwood, a rare and incredibly dense hardwood found only in the Sonoran desert regions of the Southwestern US and Mexico (hence the name). This unique titanium wood inlay ring beautifully reflects natural light in a shifting display of light, dark, and reddish brown set against wavy grain patterns. Native Americans believed that items carved from desert ironwood were talismans that granted the owner prosperity and a long, fruitful life.

About This Design: Desert ironwood, or Palo-de-Fierro as it is sometimes called, has really earned its name and is almost a type of living metal. It's so dense it sinks in water, it can burn as hot as charcoal, and it is so hard that oftentimes metalworking tools are required to carve and shape it. But as with the best of the rough and rugged things in the world, desert ironwood also has a softer side. It blooms with delicate pink flowers and is one of the most important plants in the desert. Entire ecologies depend on its shade, seeds, and the nutrient-rich soil it creates. Without this remarkable hardwood, life might not exist in the Sonora desert region. Its these qualities -- hardcore strength and power combined with a rare and important beauty -- that inspired us to create this titanium wood inlay ring. Like a portable desert oasis, this ring is infused with the same essence of life that was so prized by the Native Americans of the great Southwest. And to keep it looking great for a lifetime, each Desert Ironwood Ring is handcrafted by a skilled artisan using a patent pending process that is unlike any in the industry. Each inlay is specially sealed to prevent damage from moisture, oils, and other contaminants in the air. The titanium outlays, aside from adding to the attractiveness of the ring, further protect the inlay from scratches and other damage. Plus, if someday you should want to replace the inlay for any reason, you can. Please contact our customer service for more details about inlay replacement. This ring is just one example of what happens when you combine exotic hardwoods with pure, refined titanium. Want to see more? Come with us to check out our complete selection of Wood Inlay Rings! |
