For the groom who feels most at home under a wide-open sky, with a fishing rod in hand or a hunting rifle at his side, a traditional wedding band might not quite capture the spirit of his passions. What better way to do that than with a wedding band that reflects his love of the outdoors? It's about more than just a symbol of commitment; it's about carrying a piece of his identity with him, a constant reminder of why their partner fell in love with him in the first place.

At Jewelry by Johan, we understand this desire for a ring that mirrors the heart of an outdoorsman. Our collection of meticulously crafted fishing and hunting rings is designed to let you carry your passions with you. Whether it's the inclusion of an archer bow string or the rustic charm of a camo inlay, our rings can help you to tell a story – your story.

Outdoors Wedding Bands

Why Choose a Hunting and Fishing Wedding Band

For the avid hunter or angler, a hunting and fishing wedding band offers a powerful way to weave your love for the outdoors into the very fabric of your commitment. It's a constant reminder of the serenity of a dawn fishing trip, the camaraderie of a hunting expedition, and the deep-rooted connection you have with nature. An antler ring, for instance, can represent strength, resilience, and a connection to the wild. A fishing-themed band might symbolize patience, tranquility, and the pursuit of life's passions.

However, it's important to remember that while these rings are designed to embody the spirit of the outdoors, they might not be the most practical choice to wear during those activities. The intricate details and precious materials can be susceptible to damage from the rough and tumble of hunting or fishing.


Fishing Wedding Ring with Carbon Fiber

Fishing Wedding Rings

A fishing wedding ring is the perfect way to carry that passion beyond the water's edge. These rings artfully incorporate elements of the sport, making them a unique and meaningful symbol of your love for both your partner and your favorite pastime.

Materials and Designs:

Fishing rings often feature authentic materials like fishing line, intricately woven into the band, creating a subtle yet striking texture. Some designs even incorporate miniature fishing lures, adding a playful touch and showcasing the artistry of the craft. You'll also find rings with engravings of fish, waves, or other aquatic motifs, each telling a story of your connection to the water.

A Symbol of Passion, Not a Fishing Companion:

While these rings are designed to bring the fisherman's love of the sport onshore, it's important to remember that most jewelry is not made for wear in the water. Wearing your ring while fishing could lead to damage, like swelling, warping, or cracking. Saltwater is especially harsh on wood, so if you’re an avid deep sea fishing fan, take off your ring and store it in a dry place out of direct sunlight.

Fishing Line Wedding Rings

For a truly unique and personal touch, fishing line wedding rings showcase the beauty and strength of fishing line in unexpected ways, transforming a utilitarian material into a work of art.

Durability Meets Design:

The fishing line is carefully woven into the ring, often paired with durable materials like titanium or tungsten. This not only protects the line but also ensures the ring can withstand the rigors of everyday wear.

These rings are all great examples of the special bond between man and nature:

Hunting Wedding Bands with Antler

Hunting Wedding Bands

For the man who feels most at home in the wilderness, a hunting wedding band is a powerful way to carry that spirit with him wherever he goes. These rings incorporate rugged materials and symbolic designs that speak to his inner outdoorsman.

Materials and Designs:

  • Camouflage: A classic symbol of the hunt, camouflage patterns are often incorporated into the ring's design, adding a touch of rugged style.

  • Antler: Antler inlays are a popular choice, representing strength, resilience, and a connection to the wild.

  • Bow string: A thin strand of bow string material could be inlaid into the wooden ring, adding a unique and subtle detail that highlights the effort and commitment invested in the relationship (just like a skilled archer).

  • Durable Metals: Metals like titanium and tungsten are favored for their durability and ability to withstand the rigors of outdoor life. They also provide a sleek and modern look that complements the hunting theme.

Bringing the Outdoors In:

While these rings are a bold statement, it's important to exercise caution when wearing them during hunting trips or in extreme weather conditions. The intricate details and precious materials can be susceptible to damage from the elements or the rough and tumble of the hunt. Instead, think of these rings as a way to carry the spirit of the outdoors with you in your everyday life.

Camo Wedding Rings

Camo Wedding Rings

Incorporating camo into your wedding ring is a bold and stylish way to showcase your passion for the hunt.

Styles and Materials:

Classic Camo Wedding Bands

Traditional camo patterns like Realtree® and Mossy Oak are popular choices, offering a timeless look that resonates with seasoned hunters. These patterns are often laser-engraved onto durable metals like titanium and tungsten, ensuring a lasting design that can withstand the test of time. This striking titanium ring features a black enamel and a wetland camo inlay that adds a subtle yet distinctive touch to the sleek band.

Modern Camo Wedding Bands

For those seeking a more contemporary look, modern camo patterns with geometric shapes and digital designs offer a fresh take on the classic style. These patterns can be incorporated through various techniques, including inlays, coatings, and laser engraving. This unique ring showcases a captivating Realtree® camo pattern, creating a mesmerizing visual effect.

Rings with Alternative Materials

While metal bands are the most common choice, camo patterns can also be incorporated into alternative materials like carbon fiber and ceramic, offering a unique look and feel.

Antler Wedding Rings

Antlers, shed naturally by deer each year, have long held symbolic meaning in many cultures, representing strength, regeneration, and a connection to the wild. Incorporating antler into your wedding ring is a beautiful way to honor these qualities and showcase your love for nature.

Designs and Features:

Antler Inlays:

Thin slices of antler are carefully inlaid into the band, creating a striking contrast with the metal and showcasing the natural beauty of the material. This technique allows for intricate designs and patterns within the ring itself. For example, this elegant ring features a stunning naturally-shed antler inlay alongside a pinstripe of real Gibeon meteorite, adding a touch of shimmer and elegance to the rugged design.

Antler Ring Sleeves:

For a more subtle look, consider a ring with an antler sleeve. This involves a piece of antler being placed inside the ring, making it invisible while being worn. This placement is ideal for anyone who wants a more formal looking ring that still uses interesting materials. This rustic ring features a black zirconium overlay on the deer antler sleeve, adding a dark and sophisticated twist to the natural beauty of the antler.

Antler Combinations:

Antler can be beautifully combined with other materials like wood, turquoise, or even diamonds. This allows for endless creative possibilities and personalized designs that reflect your individual style. For example, this captivating ring features a crushed turquoise inlay alongside the antler and vivid amboyna wood for an extra pop of color.

Caring for your Outdoorsman Wedding Ring

To keep your ring looking its best, take the time to take care. Here's how to care for your outdoorsman wedding ring, whether it features camo, antler, fishing line, or other unique elements.

Cleaning:

  • General Cleaning: For most rings, a simple solution of warm water and mild dish soap is sufficient for cleaning. Soak the ring for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

  • Antler and Wood: Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to water when cleaning rings with antler or wood inlays. Wipe them gently with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Occasionally, you may want to apply a small amount of beeswax or mineral oil to condition the antler or wood and prevent drying.

  • Fishing Line: Rings with fishing line inlays should be cleaned carefully regularly to prevent dirt and grime buildup. While enamel is durable, use a soft cloth and mild soap, and avoid excessive scrubbing (could cause scratches).

Storage:

  • When Not in Use: Store your ring in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box to prevent scratches and damage.

  • Separate Storage: Avoid storing your ring with other jewelry to prevent it from getting scratched or dented.

Precautions:

  • Outdoor Activities: While your ring symbolizes your love for the outdoors, it's best to remove any jewelry before participating in activities like hunting, fishing, or strenuous sports. This will protect the ring from damage and prevent potential injury.

  • Extreme Weather: Prolonged exposure to extreme heat, cold, or water can damage certain materials, especially antler and wood. Remove your ring before swimming or engaging in activities that expose it to harsh conditions.

  • Chemicals: Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, including chlorine, household cleaners, and beauty products, as these can damage or discolor the ring's materials.
