No one ever wants glitter.
We wish someone would!
Or perhaps ground pyrite (fool's gold), shimmering under the finish as it would in the fast currents of the creek.
At the studio, one of us remembers discovering a chunk of pyrite during a creek walk at Pilgrim Hills. She was five at the time, and only beginning to understand the idea of currency. Fishing it up from the sandy bottom, she hollered: "We're rich!" Like Scrooge McDuck or Donald Trump. Her mother giggled a bit, had to explain as they walked home that though the rock was beautiful, it wasn't gold. Their bank balance would remain the same. They would have to skip a lazy backstroke through a room-sized vault of doubloons. They watched a whitetail deer mince along the treeline. "But it's still really beautiful," her mother said. "You should keep it on your windowsill where it'll reflect the light."
At Simply Wood Rings, we work with this kind of beauty: the natural, the authentic. Sure: money helps us all live in our contemporary lives, but natural beauty feeds a different part. This is why we love doing what we do. We're not only spellbound but inspired by our materials, their past lives, their journeys. They reflect our own evolutions as people on a planet full of uncountable types and forms of beauties.
Consider: that we want our rings to call attention to this kind of natural wealth.
Consider: that for us, they do.
Be it glitter or pyrite or fossil or ancient woods.
Wishing you some beauty today, wherever you may find it.
