OYSTERS : Making Lemonade out of Lemons

We've all been guilty of taking the nature around us for granted. I decided to do a quick search on how pearls are made! The biology of a pearl is the coolest and most amazing thing ever!

I found this information on "howstuffworks.com" 

"The formation of a natural pearl begins when a foreign substance slips into the oyster between the mantle and the shell, which irritate­s the mantle. It's kind of like the oyster getting a splinter. The oyster's natural reaction is to cover up that irritant to protect itself. The man­tle covers the irritant with layers of the same nacre substance that is used to create the shell. This eventually forms a pearl."

Whenever you feel like you've just been delivered a giant shipment of sour lemons, take a lesson from the oysters and make something wonderful! Like lemonade! Or pearls! Or art!

Rosewood with Pearl

Oak with Pearl and Mother of Pearl Inlays

Shot gun, Bang!

Rosewood band with shot gun shell inlay

Yes! It's true! We inlayed a shot gun shell casing into a ring! Why, you ask? Our dear customer's father was a fallen soldier. After the honorary twenty-one gun salute at his funeral, one of the casings was picked up as a remembrance.

The ring will be a surprise wedding ring for the son of the Veteran from his loving wife-to-be! How beautiful! Not only will it be a symbol of the couples commitment to each other but also, a reminder of the sacrifices we must make and the courage it takes to do so!

(from the Pacific Ocean)
and various crushed stones. 

Land before Time RingPadauk with Dinosaur Bone and
Meteorite inlay

Here at Simply Wood Rings, we've inlayed many interesting objects into our customer's rings. A marine biologist studying the effects of plastic on sea life wanted to incorporate plastic into her ring! A man who believed the essence of a being is contained in the hair had us inlay his own hair in the form of a dread lock! We've inlayed dinosaur bone, provided stones, flowers, sand from around the world, meteorite, wood, crystals, and even glitter! The possibilities are truly endless!

Being able to provide customers with objects that are embedded with meaning that will comfort, encourage and honor their love is an opportunity we'll never take for granted!

The Brilliance of Moissanite

What is moissanite, you may ask? Moissanite is a cost-effective, Eco-friendly alternative to diamonds. As an Eco-conscious company, Simply Wood Rings is proud to offer a conflict-free alternative in our engagement ring designs.

The warmth of wood with the brilliance of moissanite is a striking combination.

Moissanite has a higher brilliance than diamonds. When showing off your engagement ring, why not be more sparkly?
