60 Ideas for Items to Use in Custom Wood Rings

Custom wood rings are the perfect canvas for creating a unique, sentimental jewelry gift. We can take nearly any piece of your supplied wood and incorporate it into a custom wood wedding band, custom wood engagement ring, or even a custom his and hers wood ring set.

The first step in the design process is brainstorming possible wood items to use in your ring(s). There are so many creative ideas that have come from our customers, including a groom’s ring made from a piece of wood from his family cabin. One of our other favorites is a wedding band inlay made from a crushed Jenga game piece. There are size requirements for the creation of a full ring vs. a partial inlay.

If you have sentimental wood items that are old, worn, or just too big to keep around, but hard to let go of, you might consider re-purposing part of them into a keepsake ring. Here are some images to get you thinking about what might work for you.

Now that you’ve got your wood, it’s time to decide what to do with it! Ring designs run the gamut and below you’ll find some of our favorites that include a single inlay, multiple-inlays, mixed materials, and more. The most common width for a woman’s wedding band is 3mm when paired with an engagement ring. The most common width for a man’s wedding band is 8mm. But keep in mind, if you don’t see a design that is the perfect fit for you, we can try to make your vision a reality.

If a ring’s not your thing, you could elect to create a different custom jewelry item from your sentimental wood items, including pendants, beads, earrings, cufflinks, and tie clips.
