his & hers
14 kt yellow gold wedding band set
2 matching PLYWOOD wood grain rings
a carpenter's dream
These unique rings are a collaboration between my husband & I. He is also an artist- a painter & printmaker, so he has applied his engraving techniques the the wax ring band I carved. My husband often uses faux bois motifs in his artwork. Sharing studios, it was a natural step to collaborate, so the first woodgrain rings were made for ourselves. A way for him to wear my work, and for me to wear his.
When seen in in it's bare form, pine plywood has very graphic, pronounced grain. It's easy to stare at the flowing shapes and let your imagination come to life. This humble and ubiquitous material is a building block for many projects, and also may be the hidden strength underlying a more polished exterior.
Plywood? It maybe an unusual choice in naming a ring design, but it's meaningful to the both of us.
Maybe you too will find meaning as well as beauty for your wedding band set or fifth (wood) anniversary.
This ring was carved from wax, engraved with hand drawn faux bois texture, and then cast directly into 14kt yellow gold using the lost wax process.
MADE TO ORDER - please contact me with your sizes. I suggest getting sized in person at a local jewelry store for the most accurate fit. These cannot be resized once they are in metal due to the all around texture.
men's band is 7 1/2 mm wide.
women's band is 3 mm wide.
*Please note, if you are ordering a ring, please know your exact size as best as possible. Many of my designs cannot be re-sized once they are in metal due to the all over pattern. I recommend going to a local jeweler to get sized in person with a similar width ring before ordering. If you need a different size, I will have to do an exchange. If I have to do more than one size exchange, I will have to charge $100 restock fee.
