Due to the unique pattern of trees, a wood inlay/sleeve will be completely unique, showcasing the natural beauty and variations in grain and color. To maintain the appearance of your wedding band with a wood inlay and/or sleeve, clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. The wood inlay and/or sleeve is not waterproof. Avoid soaking the band in water or using harsh chemicals, including chlorine and bleach, as they can damage the wood. Normal wear and tear may result in minor surface scratches or changes in appearance over time.
Ion plated Tungsten in rose, yellow, white, black, blue or brown is more difficult to scratch than traditional gold and silver. Plating can be damaged through contact with an abrasive surface or substance, chemicals, and hard surfaces (metal, wood, tile, etc). Plating can also be damaged by frequent exposure to hard water, or repeated contact with moderately hard surfaces.
