MESSINIA | Olive - Macassar Ebony
About the woods
The outer layer of the ring is made from Olive wood which consists of a lovely mix of lighter and darker brown colours. The wood often has a very wavy grain which gives it a very unique pattern. The inner layer of the ring is made of Macassar Ebony which is known for its dark, almost black, colour. Both woods are considered very precious and are usually used for the building of high-end furniture.
Note that the colour of your ring may slightly vary from the ones pictured above making each ring truly unique.The bentwood technique explained
This ring is made by hand, using the bentwood technique. The wood is steamed and then bent around the circumference of the ring. The result of this process is a thin yet very strong ring. Note that there will always be a seam in every bentwood ring. This seam is more or less visible depending on the type of wood your ring is made of.
The rings finish
The ring is finished with a mix of CA and water-resistant varnish, giving it some extra shine and protection. The ring is protected against occasional soaking. I strongly recommend taking it off when showering, washing your hands, doing manual labour or during the night.
