WOOD! You Believe It For Your Wedding? Well, Why WOODEN(T) You?
All over the country, small independent designers such as Justin Duance for example, in small workshops are working hard to produce jewellery with style and individuality, and that can create something that will be unique to you. Not everybody wants to look the same as everyone else, and when it comes to purchases like rings, rather than buy a mass-produced item, choose a handcrafted wood inlay designer ring made here in the UK instead and know that you are supporting local British talent. The versatility and natural beauty of wood have made it an essential and if used correctly, such as for our wooden wedding rings, a sustainable material that has so many uses. From building homes for shelter, ships that will cross vast oceans, the production of furniture that is practical, durable and beautiful, to lighting our fires, wood is a valuable material.
Wooden jewellery from ancient to modern
For thousands of years, man has carved wood into beautiful items to be admired or worn. Items of jewellery have been fashioned from wood for millennia from beautiful bold bangles to intricate beads threaded into necklaces or hung from wires worn as earrings. The warm hues of the hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood, chestnut or oak coupled with the unique patterns of the grain, results in items that are as individual as you of which no two will ever be the same.
For a modern take on wooden jewellery, the inlaying of wood into precious and non-precious metals to make rings has become popular. The most common metals used are either silver or titanium as these are affordable materials for most. The oils in the skin offer protection for the wooden inlay, and if looked after, your ring will last for many years. A wooden inlaid wedding ring is something to be admired and a little more unusual than a plain gold band.
Wooden wedding rings made in the UK
These most beautiful and appealing of rings are all handcrafted here in the UK, and by purchasing one, you will know that you are supporting local talent. They are incredible value for money, having a beautiful handcrafted quality to them. We refer to some of them as rustic in design, but to be quite honest they all portray this natural handmade look. The inlays all have a slight unevenness which adds to the spiritual nature of these pieces, reflecting the natural undulating patterns in natural wood. As the wood in these rings ages, it does tend to darken and the fact that many people may not realise is that the natural oils from your skin react with the wood to protect it. These oils will toughen the wood and prevent it from splitting.
