This piece was created with recycled 18k yellow gold, our preferred gold alloy for its rich, warm color and beautiful density. 18k gold has a depth and warmth that we love, while still offering the strength and durability needed for everyday wear.
It’s a material chosen to be worn, lived in, and passed down for generations.
Each piece is truly unique from every other as a result of the cast in wood process. The wood defines the form of the metal and the setting of the stones. Stone color may vary, and the grain will shape each piece in its own unpredictable way. Only the care and attention is unwavering.
Please expect a genuinely one-of-a-kind piece.
Please allow up to 4 weeks. Your piece is created from scratch specifically for you, and we take the time to make it properly.

How It's Made
The cast in wood process is a method of forging 18k gold in hand carved wooden boxes. It is an old technique, used by the Ancient Romans, and has not been seen for a thousand years or more. At Rigby Leigh, we have re-developed this technique and are the only ones in the world working this way.
This technique leaves the ring with the shape and finish of the natural wood grain, for a uniquely organic look. It also means each piece is unique and un-repeatable. No two pieces ever can look the same, because it is all down to the natural grain.
Each piece is then presented in a handmade wood box, made out of the wooden crucible it was cast in. This box beautifully preserves the moment in nature captured in your piece, a beautiful keepsake or an unforgettable presentation piece.
