Give Us A Ring

[jameshj]

Some Wood and Acrylic Rings. Acrylic is alternative Bone and the wood is Cocobolo and African Black Wood.My Good Lady Has been wearing the one in the foreground for 6 months, it has not been affected by water etc. the wood has been finished with lacquer (spray).CA tends to pell of the acrylic after a few weeks of wearing the ring.
