Carbon/wooden rings on Kickstarter

Not a knives related stuff, but I though some of you might like it. I was browsing Kickstarter and stumbled on this project where a guy is making jewelry rings from carbon fiber with wooden inlays.

Looks pretty cool to me. He misspelled Bubinga, but otherwise I like the idea and realization



What do you think? Yay or Nay?

 

They look nice, but wonder about the toughness of them, carbon fibre is a tough material but brittle from what I understand so maybe accidentally banging your hand on something pretty hard could crack one?
I am thinking more extreme though I guess as I wear my wedding ring all the time at work and have had a lot of heavy stuff whack into it, like fitting an oven and getting my hand bashed into the cabinet next to it

 

Yeah, it might be brittle… and I'm not sure how long wood inlay would survive in constant contact with skin.

Warren, how about Tungsten Carbide ring? They are pretty resistant to all forms of abuse (well, maybe except diamond plates).

 

That's about as tough as it gets Anton, no fun shaping one I guess!!

 

They sure are good looking.

 

Visually, I say yay. If I had access, I'd put them in my shop.

 

I have a tungsten carbide ring, and to date is the only one I haven't been able to bend while I'm wearing it. Those are nice, must be super light!

 

I'm in, thanks Anton. Cool stuff.

 

One of my customers makes titanium rings and inlays stabilized wood.
Sorry but no photos.

 

They look cool enough but I'd have to see and feel one to really develop an opinion.
