Blue spruce and juniper heart wood rings for a lovely texan couple

A note from Char " The countdown to the big day has officially begun, and in the midst of getting things in order, I wanted to drop you a quick email to let you know that our rings are amazing! Not only are they aesthetically beautiful to behold, the feeling of them (and even the smell!) is something I've never before experienced. Rian and I are so grateful to you both, for your work, your ideals, and the way in which you conduct yourselves. From the beginning inquiry to the end result, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. You both, individually and together, have so much to offer this universe, and you are accomplishing it gorgeously. Our rings were SO much MORE beautiful 'in person' than they were in the wonderful photographs you thoughtfully sent !"

Wooden rings for a March 16th Wedding


These striking wooden rings were designed by a couple in Illinois. When they first contacted us they wrote;
"We have been looking at your website for the past few months now, but we loved the idea of getting touch wood rings for our wedding from the very beginning. The wooden rings on your website look beautiful and we would both feel very healthy and balanced to be wearing one. "

Green wedding rings, wooden rings from touch wood rings

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"
