Spring Weddings and Wooden Rings

Touch Wood Rings with a touch of home.
A lovely couple from Tel Aviv, Israel; Mark and Addi, specifically chose the Bethlehem Olive Wood and the Eilat stone for their designs as they "originate from their home country and would give great meaning to their rings." Addi sent along this information in regard to her Eilat stone (also known as King Solomon stone).

Metaphysical Properties: Eilat Stone is purported to excel in healing emotional and physical aspects of heart / lungs and throat. It flushes out or heals hurt, fear, stress, and loss, acting as an antidepressant and has been reported to be good on the sinuses, mouth, bone and tissue regeneration. On the Solar Plexus it aligns the subtle bodies, harmonizes heart, mind, and body promoting wholeness, peace of heart, self-expression, and creativity. It balances yin / yang, draws out pain, inflammation, and fever.

Black and Rose Wood Ring

Dave's Touch Wood Ring is a size 8 black wood ring with an offset rosewood inlay. His ring is 6mm wide with a 1.5 mm wide rosewood inlaid band.

"The ring is amazing! Angie (...my soon to be wife!) is blown away by how beautiful the ring is...as am I. It fits perfectly. I really like the weight of it, as I am not the biggest ring guy. The Blackwood is much nicer than I imagined... The whole process was a pleasure. I enjoyed it. Thank you so much for the perfect ring, guys! The best to both of you. Dave"

Congratulations to Victor and Adriana

Spring blooms and wooden rings

We've been enjoying the incredible scent of two hyacinths in bloom on our windowsill.

As I washed the dishes; I perched my Pink Ivory Wood Ring on a hyacinth leaf. There's pink, I think ... and then there's Pink.

Wood is so amazing.

Wearing the warmth of wooden rings

Touch Wood Rings meticulously hand crafted by David for folks we've had the pleasure of working closely with and getting to know a little... it's a good life. Come and visit us at our Homestone blog to see where Touch Wood Rings are created.

Ed's Rose Wood Ring with Abalone

Some months ago; Ed and Diane sent us an old abalone shell that they had kept for many a year. The center bottom of the shell was gone and there's a story behind that too.






Ed commissioned David to create a 6mm wide, size 12, dark rose wood ring with a wide band of his crushed abalone. Here are a few more photos of the finished ring.

Wood and Bamboo Rings

In September 2007, we received an inquiry from Lindsay who contacted us about commissioning Touch Wood wedding rings for herself and her fiancé.

Lindsay and I exchanged emails for about a year while she and Nick planned their celebration and made decisions about their rings. David created their rings during the month of August 2008. They rings incorporate Hawaiian Koa, Bamboo, Maple, Spruce and African Blackwood.

In January; Lindsay and Nick were married on a beach in Oahu and began to wear the wood and bamboo wedding rings they had so mindfully and lovingly designed.

David and I receive at least one email every day that makes our hearts sing. I know, we're really lucky and ever grateful.  This day's song was courtesy of "Lindsay and Nick."  


"Aloha Nicola and David!
We're married!!! Yeah!! Our ceremony took place on the beach here on Oahu. We had a simple, eco-friendly event filled with joy, family, beautiful weather (it rained all morning, a blessing from the land, and the sun came out 5 minutes before our ceremony started!) and our AMAZING WOOD RINGS!!! We had been looking so forward to being able to wear our rings, in fact we had them out on our bedside table for the months leading up to our wedding.

It was INCREDIBLY special to put the rings on each others finger and know that they represent all that we are and love. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the work that you do. You made it possible for us to express our love for each other the exact way that we wanted while being friendly to the environment. MAHALO!



I've attached some pictures of our day! The one above shows the pastor holding the rings before we put them on each other. This was the first time the pastor had seen the rings. He was totally taken aback by them...in fact, he gasped when he saw them and commented on their beauty before continuing the ceremony.

Happy 2009!
Lindsay and Nick
