There are many reasons our customers choose to wear wood, rather than metal, for a ring. Some people have metal allergies, for some it's a question of style, but for most of us it is a much more connected experience that ties in with the decisions we've made about who we will be in this life and the impact we will make on the world around us. If you've made your way to this page, you probably share some of these notions with us and our customers. When you order one of our rings, you know you are getting something that comes only from environmentally and socially conscious sources. Something that has been crafted by hand in order to find and celebrate the beauty in every grain of the wood.

For us, wooden rings are a celebration of life. To wear something that was once alive, that holds within it still this life, is not the same as to wear a piece of metal that has been mined from the earth. The wood used in these rings is on a journey. It comes to us from a variety of sources, much of it salvaged, found, or brought in by customers who have their own connection to a particular piece of wood. As the wood travels its path it carries with it something of where it has been, building its journey into itself as the wood continues to change, expand and contract, the grain re-aligning with each vibration that passes through it.

These rings are a celebration of that journey, a way to take a moment of that journey and carry it with you as a reminder of the life around us. We are honored at the opportunity to find the life and the beauty in this wood and make something precious that will go with the person wearing it on their journey for a time. We cannot tell you these rings will last forever, but we can tell you that they are a source of joy and beauty to those who wear them for the years they will last. While the method used to create them does make them surprisingly durable, they are not going to hold up like a metal band. Many of the same things that will damage your hands will damage the rings (metals, abrasives, chemicals). As a result, they do request of the wearer a little more awareness of their motions.

Wooden rings are not for everyone, but for some of us, they are just the right thing. They are a way of pacing one's movements, a call that brings one back to the moment, and that connection to other moments and the breath of life that flows through them.
