If you have been to our studio here in Boston, you have seen our massive library of sands, rocks, bones, woods, stones and all other earthy materials from around the globe.  The most colorful, durable and consistent material for inlays in Titanium or Inox Wedding Rings is our beautiful collection of Stones. 

From the deep blues of Cobalt Stone to the dizzyingly beautiful greens of Jade, stones bring either a colorful accent to your ring or they can play center stage.  Keep in mind that absolutely any ring you see on our entire website could have one or more of its inlays replaced with a stone you see elsewhere on our site.

One of my absolute favorite stones in our collection is Armenian Obsidian. For one reason, I married your ring maker, an Armenian.  But beyond that Obsidian has a glass like reflection and is so hard it can be sharpened to scalpel-like sharpness.  Obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass, holds a special place in Armenian culture. Known as the “Stone of Protection,” obsidian is believed to ward off negative energies and provide emotional stability. Its deep black hue is often used in jewelry pieces such as rings and pendants, symbolizing strength and resilience.

And don't forget!  We donate a portion of the sales of all our Armenian rings to FAR - Fund for Armenian Relief.

Check out some of these amazing wedding rings that we have made using Armenian Obsidian.

FAQs

Q: How do I get sized?

A: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PURCHASING MINTER & RICHTER CUSTOM SIZERS to guarantee you get the absolute perfect fit for your ring. The industry-wide standard for ring size carries many variables (different measuring tools, ring widths, ring materials, and design). Factory-made bands are sized LESS accurately than our handmade bands. Therefore, getting sized at a factory jewelry store does not guarantee that the size will be correct. We offer Sizing Exchanges for life for half price. But getting Custom Sizers ensures that you will not need a sizing exchange. A sizing exchange is 50% the cost of the original if you were not sized on our custom sizers.

1. Minter & Richter Custom Aluminum Sizers ($45 for a set of 3 sizers): If you have a general idea of what your ring size might be, we can make you a set of custom aluminum sizers (plain aluminum bands) in three different sizes at your preferred width. This allows you to spend time wearing each sizer for a day or two and finding out which one offers the most comfortable fit. Finger size can fluctuate slightly throughout the day due to water intake, temperature, etc. so this is an excellent way to get an accurate representation of exactly how your final ring will fit. We request that customers purchase their final ring(s) at the same time as the sizers. We will ship you the sizers along with a SASE for convenient return (domestic only – international must pay for return shipping). Once you confirm your ring size we begin making your rings with unconventional ring materials! 

(**Please note that sizers can add approximately 2 weeks to order processing.)
