    Made in Britain · by Mark Pettit|14-day returns

    Custom made for you, this is a steam bent maple ring featuring an inlay of Lake District slate from the Borrowdale area. Taking up to three weeks to make, It is finely handcrafted using the bentwood technique. This method respects the nature of the wood by working with the grain rather than against it and ensures a beautiful yet durable one of a kind ring. I finish these rings with multiple coats of ca glue which are then sanded and polished to a glass like finish. It makes a stunning gift and is perfect for special occasions. Each ring created is unique, they make ideal alternative wedding or engagement rings.

    Your ring will come in a branded recycled board gift box. You will also receive a small tub of carnauba wax to allow you to keep on protecting the ring.

    Please allow up to three weeks for me to complete this ring, if you need it sooner please free to contact me and I will do my best to accommodate you.

    For every ring sold, I make a donation to One Tree Planted.
