Titanium Wedding Band
Titanium! The awesomest alloy! The incredible metal! We love titanium because it's lightweight, yet an extremely hard and durable metal: considered strong as steel, but almost 50% lighter, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear. It has a warm feel compared to other metals and is both hypoallergenic and corrosion-resistant.
We crafted our titanium bands as an ode to the old Airstream trailers and the silver airplanes from the 1930s and 40s. Your ring is guaranteed to have a classy look that spans generations!
Natural Whiskey Barrel Ring Inlay
This natural whiskey barrel wood ring inlay is crafted from wood found at the center of our whiskey barrels. The center wood provides an aesthetic contrast with delicate traces of the charred oak. The charr from the whiskey barrel-making process adds distinct flecks of color to the oak wood, creating a distinguished finish that makes these handcrafted ring inlays incredibly unique.
USS North Carolina Teak Wood Ring Inlays
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, they knew they had "awoken a sleeping giant," but they had no idea just how prepared this giant was for war. The USS North Carolina (BB-55) was built in 1940 and commissioned for service in April of 1941. She was the newest and fastest battleship that the US had ever created and would go on to lead every major naval offensive in WWII, earning 15 battle stars. Her wartime complement included 144 officers and 2,195 enlisted men of the finest generation America has ever known.
After her decommissioning in June of 1947 and subsequent restoration project years later, the teak wood of her original decks was made available to the public in limited supply. We are very excited to offer a limited collection of rings that feature this story-filled wood.
Note: All teak can vary in color from a brownish-orange to a deep brown.
