Who the AUBURN is for
The AUBURN carries Hawaiian heritage in its grain. Koa was historically reserved for royalty, and the curl pattern shifts color as the ring catches the light. For grooms drawn to natural materials, surfers, or anyone who wants a ring with warmth that metal alone can't match.
This extraordinary and highly-desired Tungsten Carbide ring features a real Redwood (or Sequoia Sempervirens) inlay of deep reddish brown. Redwood is commonly used in furniture exteriors and trims and musical instruments. Free inside laser engraving available, does not delay your order.
- Backed by our lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and lifetime sizing exchange.
- Built in a confident 8mm width.
- Tungsten Carbide, one of the hardest metals used in fine jewelry, exceptionally scratch-resistant. Note that the wooden inlay is protected by a resin that can be scratched.
- Comfort fit. Rounded interior glides over the knuckle for all-day comfort.

About Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is one of the hardest metals used in jewelry. It's much harder than titanium, gold, or platinum, holds a mirror polish that doesn't dull from daily wear, doesn't bend out of round, and resists scratching from almost anything you'll encounter day-to-day.
The trade-off is that tungsten is harder than it is tough. A direct hammer-strike or a fall onto concrete from height can chip it. In an emergency it can be cracked off the finger with standard ER tools, which is actually a safety advantage compared to gold or platinum.
Tungsten rings don't trigger nickel allergies, don't tarnish, and don't oxidize. The AUBURN holds the same finish years into wear as it has on day one.
About the Koa Wood Inlay
Koa is a Hawaiian hardwood, historically reserved for royalty and now grown on managed forest land in Hawaii. The AUBURN's koa wood inlay shows the signature curl and chatoyance the wood is famous for: the grain shifts between honey-gold and deep amber as the ring catches the light, an optical effect from the wood's natural fiber alignment.
Each piece of koa is one-of-a-kind. The grain pattern, color depth, and figure vary across every cut. Koa is dense enough to be durable in a ring inlay but warm enough to take to body temperature instantly, giving the AUBURN a distinctive feel that metal-only rings can't match.
Care: koa is real wood. Keep it relatively dry, avoid soaking in pools or hot tubs, and condition the surface every 6-12 months with our included ring oil. With basic upkeep the wood deepens in color over the years rather than fading.

Sizing & Fit
The AUBURN is comfort fit, meaning the inside of the band is rounded rather than flat, which makes it easier to slide over the knuckle and more comfortable for all-day wear. Comfort-fit rings typically size a half-size smaller than standard-fit rings, so if you normally wear a size 10 standard-fit, you'll likely wear a 9.5 in the AUBURN.
Available sizes: 5 – 14, including half sizes.
Not sure what size you wear? Use our free ring sizing guide, or order any size and use our lifetime sizing to swap if it doesn't fit perfectly the first time.
Care Instructions
Wipe the AUBURN with a soft cloth. That's the core care routine. Tungsten doesn't tarnish, doesn't oxidize, and doesn't lose its polish from daily wear. For a deeper clean, warm water and mild dish soap; rinse, dry, done. Avoid dropping on tile or concrete (tungsten is hard but brittle), and remove for heavy hammer/chisel work.
Engraving
Every AUBURN includes free inside laser engraving. Add a wedding date, initials, coordinates, or any phrase up to 30 characters. Engraving is permanent, professionally applied, and does not delay shipping.
Frequently Asked Questions
What color is the AUBURN?
The AUBURN features silver & red with a real koa wood inlay.
What sizes does the AUBURN come in?
The AUBURN is available in sizes 5 – 14, including half sizes. If you're between sizes, lifetime sizing is included, so you can order, try it, and swap if needed.
Is the AUBURN comfort fit?
Yes. The AUBURN is comfort fit, meaning the inside of the band is gently rounded so it slides over the knuckle easily and sits flat against the finger. Most wearers find it comfortable enough to forget they're wearing it.
Is the AUBURN durable for daily wear?
Tungsten carbide is one of the most scratch-resistant materials used in jewelry, and much harder than gold, titanium, or platinum. The AUBURN is highly resistant to scratches from daily wear. It is brittle under sharp impact, so avoid hammer-strikes or drops onto concrete.
Is the AUBURN hypoallergenic?
Yes. The AUBURN is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, safe for sensitive skin and people with metal allergies.
Can the AUBURN be engraved?
Yes. Free inside laser engraving is included with every AUBURN. You can add a date, initials, a phrase, or coordinates. Engraving doesn't delay shipping.
Is the koa wood inlay real?
Yes. The AUBURN's koa wood inlay is real Hawaiian koa, with the natural curl and chatoyance the wood is famous for.
What if the ring doesn't fit?
Lifetime sizing is included with every AUBURN. If it doesn't fit, ship it back and we'll send a different size, even years after the original purchase.
How long does shipping take?
Free standard shipping ships within 1-2 business days from our Irving, Texas shop and arrives in 3-5 business days within the US. Most AUBURN orders arrive within a week of ordering.
What is Aydins' return policy?
See our returns and exchanges page for full details.
Can the AUBURN be cut off in an emergency?
Yes. Both tungsten and ceramic rings can be safely removed in an emergency. Hospitals use a tool that cracks the band cleanly off the finger without needing to cut through it. This is actually a safety advantage over gold or platinum, which require more time-consuming cutting.
Every ring you purchase from us includes a lifetime warranty and lifetime resizing. We make our jewelry with great care, using top-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship. We guarantee that our products are free from defects. If, by any chance, a piece of jewelry doesn't meet our high standards, we will replace it under our warranty.
