Tradition tells us wood is the five-year anniversary gift, but finding a romantic wood symbol to present to your mate can be tricky. Wood rings are the perfect solution for a man or woman! Our matching rings are made with consecutive cuts of wood for couples to feel added connection~that's romance!
Wood was chosen as the 5-year gift because at this point in a marriage a couple has formed a strong bond and wood represents strength and stability. Koa is the common choice in Hawaii but we encourage clients to choose a wood that has deep meaning to them. We have woods from all over the world so they can choose a wood from their present region or a wood from a place rich with family history.
One man sent us wood from a tree his son and new wife swung from as kids growing up as neighbors; a truly special anniversary gift for his son and the girl next door. The wood can be from where you met or where you were born, it just has to be at least two years dry.
Other reasons for wood rings...Recently build your first house? Send us a left-over piece of wood to inlay and celebrate this big moment with more than just a toast! A ring set we will never forget was made for a couple who lost their house in a tornado. We were honored to preserve the wood from their destroyed house in rings to keep its memory still standing.
What wood represents you? Each tree has its own personality and story to tell just like humans. If you don't have a favorite tree, now is the time to establish a relationship with these forest giants just as you would a birthstone or astrological sign. After all, trees have been around as long as the rest if not longer, making them the perfect symbol of a happy, long-lasting marriage.
Hawaii Titanium Rings is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on the Big Island of Hawaii in Kona so many of our sales are online. We thank our daring clients who trust our craftsmanship enough to order sight-unseen! Many ask if we have pictures of rings on hands, mostly want to see our rings on men, so here are a few photos sent by happy clients. We are proud of how great men look in our rings!
The profiles we offer are flat or round and so let us simplify this for our clients buying online. The flat profiled rings are pictured in the top photos and the rings with the round are below that. Note that the round/flat description refers to the shape of the titanium and you can see how it comes around to the face of the ring, whereas the flat ring is not as beveled.
All of our rings are comfort fit, so think of the profile as the ring shape rather than the fit. Some clients like the bulk of the round profiles, and many men who do heavy manual work with their hands prefer it because the titanium comes around to grip their finger, making it harder to catch on things. The flat profiles are preferred and/or suggested with certain designs(like the Big Kahuna) and for clients who want thin-walled rings.
The bottom line is we start with a solid bar of titanium and hand-shape each ring, so if there is a ring you see on our website that you are unsure which profile it possesses, we can match the ring profile you like for your design. We are happy to work with you so you get exactly what you want in a ring and more!
Another frequent question at Hawaii Titanium Rings is do you make gold or silver rings and the answer is no. The reason is that titanium is the only metal strong enough to hold an inlay without bending or shattering. The strength of titanium gives us the confidence to offer a lifetime guarantee.
We do inlay gold and silver into the titanium, though, and have many styles to choose from! The rose gold inlays go beautifully with all colors especially the blues. The green gold looks amazing next to the Purpleheart Wood which was a surprise to us! The white gold matches the titanium and is great for custom image designs.
Gold inlays are a great way for a man to have the strength of titanium and still have an element of their spouses ring incorporated into theirs. Men are much harder on their hands than they realize; their grip is where they execute most of their strength in their daily activities, so titanium is a perfect match for them.
Titanium is also becoming a symbol of strength in marriage; its durability makes it possible for your rings to be passed down for generations. We can engrave your wedding date so your kids and grandchildren can remember when the magic all began.
We offer yellow, white, green, and rose gold, all 14k, and we also offer sterling silver. Check out the Carbon Fiber designs too, the men love the masculine aspect of it and the white makes a perfect wedding band! Mahalo to all the tough guys who wear our rings!
Many clients ask if we can use the diamonds from a ring in their collection and the truth is we do not like to use our clients personal diamonds for several reasons.
Firstly, we do not believe in taking apart another jewelers creation. We put much energy and Aloha into each piece we create and so we do not want to destroy something that someone has put their passion into.
2. People want to send us the diamonds already removed at times and we will inlay them but they must be under 3mm and round. We also have some warnings before we agree:
~Our prices are based on man hours more than materials so the price for your ring is the same, whether we use your diamonds or ours.
~There is a chance your diamonds could be lost in the mail on their way to us, there is also a chance of your ring getting lost in the mail on its way to you.
~Our guys are rough and tough as titanium is not easy to work with and they could lose your diamonds in the workshop, they could also break your diamond during inlay.
Please know we are happy to cut and crush your personal wood and gemstone for inlay, but when it comes to the set stones, we are just trying to protect our clients best interest and would feel terrible if something happened to one of their family heirlooms.
