Bristlecone Pine Tree Bark Ring - Gold Wedding Band - 6mm Wide
Bristlecone Pine Tree Bark Ring - Gold Wedding Band - 6mm Wide
Bristlecone pine- one of the the three species of pine tree in a detailed wedding band. This band is modeled after Pinus Longaeva, among one of the oldest lifeforms on earth. The oldest known tree is thought to be 5,000 years old! This tree does well in arid climates, and are home to many parts of the Southwestern United States, including Colorado, California, Nevada, and Utah.
This men's wedding band is made from recycled gold and is handmade with a comfort fit to your size. The ring is carved from wax, then cast in the metal of your choice. From there it is finished by hand to achieve a great wearable look. The band has a brushed finish to contrast the polish on the inside of the ring.
For all engagement rings, please expect 6-8 weeks turnaround for current queue. Simple rings may be ready in as little as 3-5 weeks. Keep your due date in mind, we are very booked and may not be able to accommodate a rush job.

Eco friendly gold is metal that has been refined from old gold jewelry such as estate jewelry and gold coins. The hope is to reduce the impact done from mining by recycling the metal instead. The metal composition and color are identical to commercial golds on the market.
● Sizing: It is important for gold that you provide your EXACT finger size. Each ring is handmade to your specifications, so your band may have to be re-made from scratch if a new size is required. I strongly recommend going to a few wedding ring stores to get sized before purchase, most will gladly do it for free!

There is a brush finish on the surface of this ring. Since it is only a surface treatment, it will naturally become shinier or "burnished" with time.
