Frequently Asked Questions
DURABILITY & CARE
Are wood wedding rings durable?
Yes, wood wedding rings are durable when properly sealed and cared for.
Our rings are reinforced with a waterproof sealant that fully encapsulates the wood and protects against moisture and daily wear. While wood is a natural material and should not be subjected to heavy impact, our rings are engineered for everyday use.
How long do wood wedding rings last?
With proper care, wood wedding rings can last a lifetime.
We offer lifetime maintenance, including resealing and polishing, to ensure longevity.
Are wood wedding rings waterproof?
Our wood wedding rings include a waterproof sealant that protects against normal hand washing and everyday moisture. However, we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, swimming, or hot tubs to preserve the finish long term.
Do wood wedding rings crack or split?
When properly sealed and maintained, cracking is rare.
Because we use stabilized hardwoods and protective finishes, our rings are designed for durability. Extreme impact or neglect may cause damage, but routine care prevents most issues.
Do you offer a warranty?

CUSTOMIZING YOUR RING
Can I design my own wood wedding ring?
Yes. Every ring is made to order, and we specialize in fully custom wood wedding rings designed in collaboration with you.
You may choose the wood species, metal type, width, profile, inlay placement, and even provide meaningful materials of your own.
Can I use heirloom gold or personal materials?
Yes. We frequently create heirloom wood wedding rings using customer-supplied wood, gold, gemstones, or meaningful materials.
What types of wood do you use?
We use sustainably harvested hardwoods such as ñambaro (cocobolo), nacascolo, guayacan, koa, and reclaimed bourbon barrel wood.
Each species has unique grain and color variations, making every ring one of a kind.
Do you make matching wood wedding rings for couples?
Yes. We often create matching wood wedding rings with coordinated designs, widths, or complementary materials.
Do you make wood wedding rings for men?
Yes. We create wood wedding rings for men in a variety of widths, profiles, and metal combinations.
Wider bands such as 7mm are commonly chosen for men, though all designs are customizable.
Do you make wood wedding rings for women?
Yes. Many of our designs are unisex and available in narrower widths such as 5mm for a more delicate profile.
What are wood and metal wedding rings?
Wood and metal wedding rings combine hardwood inlays with recycled precious metals such as gold or silver. This hybrid construction increases durability while preserving the organic aesthetic.
SIZING & FIT
Can wood wedding rings be resized?
Wood wedding rings typically cannot be resized like solid metal bands.
Because of their construction, resizing usually requires remaking the ring. We offer exchange options if sizing adjustments are needed.
Does ring width affect size?
Yes. Wider bands tend to feel tighter on the finger.
We recommend being sized in a band that matches the width you plan to order.
What if my ring doesn’t fit?
We know that fingers can be difficult to size and can change over time and offer an exchange policy. Please read all of our information about sizing carefully to prevent mis-sizing. Wood rings usually must be re-made, they cannot be re-sized.
Please add a Ring Exchange to your cart to begin the Exchange Process.
ORDERS & TIMELINE
What is your turnaround time?
Orders are fulfilled in the order they are received. Our current turnaround is approximately 2-4 weeks, though this timeline varies throughout the year. Please let us know if you have a specific deadline as we can sometimes accommodate rushed orders.

You may order directly from our website. To change the wood, you may make a note in the order comments.
