The Althea - Maple Burl Offset Ring

** These rings have free shipping to Canada **

Burls are large, mostly round growths that form on trees. When you cut them open, they reveal amazing grain patterns in the wood that can’t be found in traditional lumber.

We take sustainably-harvested big leaf maple burl and form it into an extraordinary ring.

As we turn the ring by hand, the irregular and strange grain patterns of the wood emerge. This varying texture and grain pattern make each ring completely unique.

After turning the band and lining, carbon fiber is carefully wrapped around the ring. This creates stunning contrast and makes the ring highly durable.

If you’re looking for a unique ring that is truly unlike any other, this is your ring.

▼Sizing

This ring is available in sizes 6 – 15 (4 – 15 for some rings), in quarter size increments. Unless you request otherwise, they will be made in the following widths:

- Sizes 6 to 8 | 7mm width
- Sizes 8.25 to 11.75 | 8mm width
- Sizes 12 to 15 | 9mm width

To make sure you order the right size, we recommend you have your finger sized at a jewellery store using the standard US/Canadian sizing system before you order.

◄Resizing

If a ring becomes snug over time, or if you ordered a size that’s too small, your ring may be enlarged slightly (usually up to half a size). Steel lined rings cannot be adjusted.
Please note that rings cannot be adjusted to be smaller.

Contact us for prices on resizing.

◄Appearance

Because we use natural materials in our rings, your ring will not look exactly like the ring pictured. Every piece of material we use has its own unique colour and grain pattern, which is what makes these rings so beautiful. Your ring will also age distinctly over time.

◄Durability

Rings go through a lot while they’re on your finger, and we take great care to craft rings that will stand the test of time. That’s why we wrap most of our rings in carbon fiber, to lock the materials in place and provide durability.
Our carbon fiber and wood rings can be worn for nearly any activity without too much concern.

However, any ring can get scuffed up over time. We recommend taking your ring off for rough work, and activities like weight lifting.
We also suggest that you take them off while doing dishes or in the bath, as prolonged exposure to hot soapy water can age the wood prematurely.

◄Guarantee

Every one of our rings comes with an Everyday Structural Guarantee. This means that Origin Handcrafted rings can endure everyday wear-and-tear without cracking, separating, or breaking.
We do not guarantee our rings against unusual abuse or accidents.

◄Returns and Exchanges

If a ring breaks or does not fit properly due to a manufacturing error, we offer free returns and exchanges. We cannot accept returns or exchanges on rings that are the wrong size due to an incorrect order. Please ensure that you’ve been properly measured at a jeweler.
If you have questions about returns or exchanges, please contact us.
