This beautiful design combines koa and purpleheart wood. The narrow bands on each of the rings is spiraled. This is a Hawaiian koa wood ring using koa wood that changes colour quite dramatically so that it combines a very golden toned koa and the darker richer koa wood. This is a man's ring.
This ring is walnut with a blue spruce band. The blue spruce has a natural 'knot' center front. It's actually more of a 'bird's eye' than a knot :)
The other ring in this set is a classic koa wood ring.
This man's wooden ring has a juniper heartwood liner and a zebra wood exterior.

Warm comments about Touch Wood Rings
"I received the rings today and they are absolutely beautiful! They are even more beautiful than the photos and the feel of them is divine. Mine fits perfectly and I'm sure M's will fit perfectly as well. This process has been like a dream come true with you and David! I couldn't ask for a better way to make such a special purchase. Thank you for all that you two do, and the ecological and tender way in which you do it. I will be passing the word on about you two and Touch Wood rings."

"Nicola and David,
I had a wonderful surprise waiting for me when I got home from work Friday night. The ring you made for me was breathtaking. There are not enough adjectives to describe the beauty of it and the excitement that both myself and my partner experienced when we opened the package. We can't thank you enough for the work you do for the environment, but also for the things you do to make an important time in peoples' lives even more precious. I will look down at the ring everyday feeling inspired and blessed. Please feel free to post this on your website and let everyone know that visits your site, how special you both are to 2 Rhode Island lesbians! :) We will keep in touch and send you pictures from the ceremony. Thanks again and please let us know how you are from time to time. Words cannot adequately describe how thankful we both are.
Stump"

Touch Wood Rings, Wear the warmth of wood
Rose wood wedding rings with maple wood bands ~
Nicola and David -
"We have received our rings and they're wonderful! I'd only been wearing it for 2 hours and three people had already noticed it and asked me about it! Justin and I are so happy with our choice. Funny enough, when my mom tried on my ring she commented, "Wow, it's so much warmer than gold or silver." I guess your motto is quite appropriate. Thank you so much for making it possible for us to make a sustainable choice for our wedding bands. "

"I am so grateful for your hard work, excellent service, and beautiful craftsmanship that have gone into creating our rings and getting them to us.
I had never wanted to wear something flashy, and I had also recently resolved not to buy diamonds because of the ethical issues.
As two musicians who play wooden instruments (flute and clarinet) we appreciate the warmth and soul of wood. There is a liveliness and spirit in my ring that I have never felt in other, metal rings I've worn. When I placed it on my finger, it fit perfectly. I marveled at the subtlety and elegance of the actual ring." Thank you ~ Katherine
