Launched on December 7th, 1942 -- exactly one year after the bombing of Pearl Harbor -- the famed USS New Jersey battleship would go on to serve in WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, and kept watch during the Cold War era. After serving 21 years of active duty (49 years in total), she was finally decommissioned in 1991.
She holds the distinction of being the most decorated battleship in US history!

Historic Teak Wood Ring Inlay
The outside of this ring is made from the original teak decking of the USS New Jersey battleship. The same wood walked upon, fought upon, and stood upon by US sailors of many generations.
Whiskey Barrel Ring Liner
A Sailor & His Whiskey
For fun, and because it looks amazing, we have paired this heritage teak wood ring inlay with another favorite of any sailor: whiskey! The whiskey barrel ring liner provides both an aesthetic contrast and adds to the story. Most of the whiskey barrel wood we use contains traces of the charred oak, part of the whiskey barrel-making process, and adds distinct flecks of color to the oak. The optional copper band brings an extra dimension of detail to the ring and reminds us of the old brass works.
Select from your favorite American whiskey brand.
Note: The color of each whiskey barrel wood is the same as they are all made from Oak.
Offset Metal Ring Inlay (Pictured with Yellow Gold)
We added a touch of class to this ring by adding an offset metal inlay. We chose yellow gold for the rings you see pictured, but these rings look great with any metal you choose.
