Unique Handmade Rings
There are plenty of interesting, unique designs out there when it comes to handmade rings. In fact, if you are looking for a special, distinct and one of a kind ring style, you shouldn’t have trouble finding something online. With the internet making the earth a smaller place, the world of rings and jewelry is your oyster.
One of the easiest ways to find unique handmade ring designs is to search well known non-profit organizations for free-trade retailers and/or eco-friendly retailers. Many of these non-profits offer links to sites that sell handmade jewelry from local artists all over the world.
Some of these organizations donate a percentage of the profit to the local community or to local community development programs, while others are simply doing their best to promote the work of artists in underdeveloped countries. You can find rings of every kind on sites like these- from sterling silver bands set with semi-precious gems to 14 karat gold rings encrusted with rough diamonds.
Another way to approach the search would be to simply browse sites like Etsy.com or eBay.com, both of which offer unknown or lesser known jewelry-makers a way to put their designs out there.
Mokume Gane Design
If you’re looking specifically for fine, unique handmade rings, you may want to consider taking a look at Mokume-Gane metal designs. The Mokume-Gane jewelry making technique is an ancient Japanese method of forging metals in a way that creates swirling, wood bark-like patterns. In fact, Mokume-Gane means Wood-Grain-Metal because the swirls of metal so closely resemble wood fibers. The metal design looks fantastic when it is incorporated into diamond engagement rings or wedding bands.
Custom-Made Ring
Of course, the most obvious way to get your hands on a unique handmade ring is to have one custom made. Find a local jeweler or an internet retailer that specializes in custom-made rings. Have them work with you to design the ring of your dreams. A custom made ring is certain to be unique and exceptional, if not also especially meaningful.
