*** Sizing

There are a few variables when it comes to getting the perfect size ring on your finger.  

The majority of my rings are within 6-8mm, and the wider a band is, the larger the size has to be.  

It is your responsibility to provide me with an accurate size, although I will work with you to the best of my ability to make sure your new ring fits.  

I highly recommend that you go to a jeweler and have yourself fitted for a wide band (6-8mm).  

Record the size and provide it to me during your purchase.

Even better if you visit multiple jewelers and they agree on your size.  

*** What is a bentwood ring?

A bentwood ring is a wooden ring that has been laminated upon itself. A long strip of wood veneer is boiled so that it becomes bendable and is then wrapped around a form into a spiral. 

Once the band is dry, it maintains its new shape. 

It is then tightly wound, sized appropriately, and glued (stabilized) with thin CA (cyanoacrylate), which is the active ingredient in most brands of super glue. 

This results in an incredibly durable ring blank that can then be shaped into your ring. 

Once shaping is complete, an Inlay channel is cut into the ring and filled with stone, metal, and many other different types of material.

The final step in creating my rings is to apply a UV Resin finish, which provides a clear, hard shell, encasing each ring.  

*** How to care for your bentwood ring.

A bentwood ring can be incredibly durable, but since all wood is subject to movement, there are a few things you can do that can help keep it in excellent condition.

Try to avoid prolonged contact with water, even though your ring is stabilized and finished with CA (Cyanoacrylate), if moisture were to soak into the wood, it could cause a problem.

It is recommended that you do not go swimming or perform any other activity that exposes your ring to water for an extended period of time. Washing your hands, showering, and the like are just fine.
