Your wooden wedding ring is an incredibly important purchase. It has such sentimental value, the connection between you and your partner, your story and your future together.
Choosing which timbers to use can sometimes seem tricky, where to start? Selecting wood that is found in a region or country that is special to you both is a great way to go. This approach connects where you’re from and adds symbolism to your ring.
For example I often have customers choose my “Mars (Ancient New Zealand Swamp Kauri) ring for their wooden wedding rings. This piece has a centre made from this 50,000 year old New Zealand Swamp Kauri which is edged with Australian Mulga and has a silver liner. Sometimes this piece is chosen to symbolise where the couple comes from, other times it might be the memory of a great holiday they had together or where they’re going on their honeymoon.
I have a vast collection of Australian native and exotic timbers to choose from and to make it easier to find which species of timber are found where I now have a section on my website home page. You can click on the region and it will bring up wooden jewellery that is made from species that can be found in that region.
If you’re looking for timber that I don’t have in my collection then please contact me to discuss a special commission and I’ll see if I can source it from one of my specialist suppliers. I take on commissions on a case by case basis and they’re a little more expensive then my other work.
