Alternative designs in handcrafted jewelry.
Richter Scale rings actually came about almost by accident. Yup, accident(almost). I was in my shop working on an unrelated project when, fed up with bland, boring jewelry chain men's rings, I had a burst of inspiration for a different ring design, so without even making a sketch, I dropped everything I was doing and went to work. Before long, the "Origin" ring was finished. I fell in love with the design, and with jewelry making. I knew I had to share this ring with the world! So, without any clue what I was doing, I took some awful pictures and listed the ring for sale. Much to my surprise, the ring soon sold! From then on, I knew I had to rid the world of boring chain store rings.
Before I even dreamed of making wedding bands, I got married. I had one of those soulless tungsten bands, you know, the type that looks like every other ring ever made. There was no story, no background, no real thought even put into my ring. fast forward years to now, I'm still married to my wonderful wife, and she still has her gorgeous vintage ring that was passed down from my great-grandmother. Now I have Richter Scale Rings. The rings I make aren't 50+ years old, but they sure as heck aren't boring!
Each ring here has a story behind it, whether it's made from a super modern titanium alloy used in spacecraft, or old as the stones used for my inlays, there is no boring here. Every ring is handcrafted to order, just for you. Character and stories are the building blocks.
