The exterior of this Rose Gold ring is made from a genuine used Bourbon Whiskey white oak barrel. Almost as much work goes into perfecting the barrel as does perfecting the iconic American whiskey. Carefully selected American White Oak is slowly dried outdoors for nearly a year. After being exposed to the rain and sun, it is kiln dried, assembled, and then charred to release the naturally occurring flavors that will be imparted to the whiskey. Though the blanks reek of whiskey, the final products (sadly, from an authenticity perspective) have no odor, having been sealed with finish.
I have a few other whiskey barrel wood options besides Jack Daniels®, including Jim Beam, Maker's Mark, Stranahan's, Four Roses, and Buffalo Trace. Scotch options include Balvenie, Macallan and more.
This unique style of wood and metal ring is extremely difficult to achieve properly, due to the challenges of finishing the wood on the flank. As with all my designs, priority is given to durability and longevity. It is finished with the same hybrid epoxy finish as any other style.
The inner and outer portion of this ring is made of 14k rose gold. 18k is also an option, as well as rose gold, white gold, and platinum.
Gold, while beautiful, has disadvantages when compared to modern jewelry materials like cobalt, zirconium, tungsten, and titanium.
Sizing
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
Comfort fit.
NOTE ON WIDTH:
This ring is available in any width you like, from 5mm-7mm. If you want narrower (down to 4mm) or wider, please message me for a custom quote.
