Whether you’re a SEAL or a landscape architect, most of our rings will work for you, with little to no need for refinishing. In particular, any of our titanium and cobalt rings will scratch far less than more traditional gold and platinum rings. Titanium will scratch a little less than Cobalt, but Cobalt has a feel similar to platinum; both metals are extremely durable. For the person that is active and works with their hands, we would recommend against any ring that includes bent wood. Wood is porous, and even with the protectant coatings we apply, it can still warp when exposed to moisture.
