Design Guidelines
-
1. Select Wood Variety and Style
- One variety for the entire ring
- Separate varieties for the outer and inner layer
- Multiple outer layers set onto a inner layer
-
2. Choose Additions and Inlays
- Copper, Brass, or most types of precious metals
- Opal, Lapis Lazuli, or any type of crushed rock, gemstone, or dust
- Any of the varieties listed below
- A combination of any or all of the above options
-
3. Decide on Shape and Size
Flat or rounded edges
- Flat edges have a more 'band' look while rounded edges look similar to a standard metal ring
Ring size
- Ensure the sizing guide has been reviewed and understood
Ring width
- Keep in mind that wider sizes will have a slightly different fit then slimmer sizes
Wood Selection
Lighter coloured, domestic varieties are near the top. Darker, exotic varieties are near the bottom.
Note that some exotic varieties (Ebony, Padauk, and more) require a two tone design (inside liner) due to their inflexibility.
