Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”

—Rachel Carson

Introducing the wider hand-carved Forest Guardian ring (unisex; although many clients have asked me to make more masculine rings, so I definitely kept this in mind when creating this ring). Anyone who loves a wider nature-inspired ring can wear the Forest Guardian.

This ring was hand-carved and a mold created so we can recreate each ring exactly the same, using the ancient lost-wax casting process. Each ring has made to order details that render no two rings exactly alike. There is a raised branch that wraps around the front of the ring, like a forest crown. This ring is full of organic texture...all carved by hand.

Please note this ring does have a gap in the back where sizing is easier at a later date, though we recommend ordering the correct ring size at checkout.

Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
