We keep our current production times updated in the announcement section at the top of our store page. Please look there to get an idea of how long it would be before your item ships. Please remember that our jewelry, sayas, and knife stands are handmade, and we don't allow anything to leave our shop until we are proud of it.

Their production time varies but it's generally under 5 business days. All items from them are also quality checked before shipping.

We ship within the US and other select areas. Most of the time your item will be shipped via USPS. We do attach a tracking number to each order. Larger purchases may require your signature at delivery.

For orders shipping outside the US:

Customs charges, VAT fees, tariffs, or any other charges incurred within the country being shipped to are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Note as well that shipping times can vary greatly depending on the country and their customs process. We cannot be held responsible for any delays.

Do you have any advice on ring sizing?

Yes we do! Hold your hand out straight. Now, curl up your ring finger. See how the finger bulges up where the ring would be? That very thing happens hundreds of times a day through the normal use of your hands. Each time it happens, your finger places pressure along the inside of the ring, pushing outward. Over time this can break a ring. We highly recommend when you choose a size that you account for that bulging. You need to leave room for your finger to expand. Wood and resin rings can break from the constant stress if you don't account for this.


What is the difference between solid wood rings and bentwood rings?

Solid wood rings are made from cutting the ring out of a solid block of wood. They are cool because you can see the grain of the wood from all 360 degrees, so there is a lot of character to them. They are also a little less expensive to make, thus they generally cost a little less. Bentwood rings are made by bending very thin sheets of wood around a form. Several layers are bonded together to make the ring. The grain tends to have a more consistent look across the face of the ring. The biggest advantage is strength. It is by far the strongest way to make a wooden ring. You have to be on a mission to break a bentwood ring. With a solid wood ring you do need to be careful. You will want to take it off when doing things that would involve a lot of use of your hands. As such, solid wood rings are best for occasional wear. If you want something to wear daily and not worry about potential breakage, we always recommend one of our bentwood rings. They are a little more money, but you will appreciate it more in the long run.


Is the finish on your rings waterproof?

Let's debunk this myth. No matter what people say... No matter what people claim... there is no such thing as a waterproof finish with wood. We have been working with wood all our lives, and we have done everything from rings to desks to work on wooden boats. One thing we know: Sooner or later the water always wins. While many artists on Etsy will claim that their finish is waterproof, we will not make that claim, because it would be a lie (and for the record, we are all using the same basic products to finish our rings.) Will you have issues if you wash your hands every now and then with your ring on? No, probably not. Will you have issues if you swim with your ring on, lose it in the pool, and find it on the bottom the next morning? Ya. Maybe. It's wood. Water is its enemy, and no finish will fend off that enemy forever.

How do you determine the price of your items?

Our prices are determined according to the cost of materials and the time involved in crafting the item. Our goal is always to provide quality products at reasonable prices.


Do you do this as a hobby?

Nope. We do this as a full-fledged business. There are many hobby crafters on Etsy, and we have tremendous respect for their work. We, however, expect to make money. This is a benefit to you because it proves we take it seriously. We work very hard to deliver quality products and make happy customers. This business feeds our family, so we give it all we have!
