They're all made of walnut!

We love the Nuts About You ring for its monomaterial elegance: the wood is walnut, the inlay is crushed walnut. 

Walnut is -- as we 21st century eaters know -- FULL of Omega-3s and healthy fats, protein and a great woody umami taste. It's also known for focus, energy, and strength. Its scientific name -- juglans -- translates to "tree of Jupiter," the Roman god of the sky, (Zeus, for you Greek myth nerdlets out there). It's a plant which unites pragmatic functionality and heroic strength. 

Convinced as we are? Head on over to the shop to get one on your functional, strong little finger. 

Prong Setting Super Post

In 1872 Ferdinand J. Herpers patented the prong setting for the Tiffany Company, who had introduced it as the "Tiffany Setting" in 1886.

It is an embrace of a setting, the prongs used in a similar way to how we use the fingers of our hands.

At SWR, we're always amazed at how different one prong-set ring looks from another. Recently, we've moved away from a simple pin-mounted setting. We like to use a prong setting laser-welded to a metal ring inlay. as you'll see below. We find they're stronger that way, and quite striking.
