Lyptus Wedge Ring


When I think of a ring, this is the shape that pops into my head. Obviously I try to create every shape possible, but I think the wedge shape is the most comfortable and it's showy without being cumbersome. Lyptus is a wood that comes from a hybrid tree. Eucalyptus grandis and Eucalyptus urophylla. It's grown in Brazil and is considered an environmentally friendly wood. Like most woods, Lyptus will get a bit darker with exposure to UV light. But I think This particular piece shouldn't get any darker. Lyptus starts off kinda salmon-colored and mellows to a nice reddish brown like you see here. Again, most woods have this feature.
by the way, Thank you Heather for your coments.
