These forged, rustic wedding rings can be made from new precious metal or can include gold inherited by you from loved ones.

  • Richard started makings rings like these to explore more ways of getting a natural feel to untraditional wedding rings. It started out as a general crudeness that was slightly more interesting than hammered wedding rings, then developed into trying to recreate the feeling of flint. We try to be specific with each order to get the feel just right.  Next page
  • Richard has many, many hammers and these rings take him back to his blacksmithing days, albeit on a much smaller scale. The texture on mens hammered wedding rings catches the light very nicely, hardens the surface and can hide scratches. This is a good choice for fairly hands-on people who have manual jobs or enjoy outdoorsy hobbies and works well with all the different metal choices including gold, palladium and platinum. Next page
  • Richard first made one of these when he had built up a certain amount of 9ct yellow gold scrap and didn’t want to sell it for the pittance he knew he would get for it. He melted it into a blob and hammered it out into a bar, breaking a hammer in the process! (He fixed it and has bought more appropriate hammers since). This was before Richard had a rolling mill, and the end result was unusual but lovely. It’s quite a knack to melt small amounts of gold without the oxidation messing up the purity, but he's pretty good at it now. The art is now getting the right degree of crudeness, as it has become easier with practice for him to make them more uniform than when he was flying by the seat of his pants. Richard can also make these by melting old gold, perhaps from inherited wedding rings. Next page
