Touch Wood Rings for Kait and Josh ~ Pear and Hawaiian Koa
The symbolism associated with pear trees speaks of prosperity, longevity and inner peace.
Fellow Canadians Kait and Josh first contacted us in March.
They wanted to use pear wood from a tree that has significance to them and were hoping to incorporate the heartwood and the sapwood in their designs.
David and I often say that cutting a branch of wood makes us feel like kids on Christmas morning. It is always a gift to discover the wood inside a branch and this pear wood was a delightful surprise. The heartwood of Josh and Kait's pear branch was beautiful and the sapwood had real character too. Perfect for their designs.
They chose a rich Hawaiian Koa as the primary wood for their rings with spiraled inlays of their pear heartwood and sapwood and interior liners of the lighter pear sapwood to accommodate their inscriptions.
When we sent final photographs of their rings, Kait wrote: "We are just blown away! The rings are so beautiful! The pear wood looks great with the koa!! I can't believe we have to wait until our wedding in October to wear them!"
It's August now :) so not too much longer to wait ...
We look forward to some photos from your wedding and we hope you have an exciting and happy few months leading up to your Fall celebration. Remember to breathe!
Much love, as always
Much love, as always
Nicola and David
