If you have been to our studio here in Boston, you have seen our massive library of sands, rocks, bones and all other earthy materials from around the globe.  Any material on this great planet can be crushed into an inlay in your wedding ring.  For this reason, many couples bring us sand from a place that is special to them.  Often they decide to bury their personal sand underneath their inlays rather than have an inlay of that sand.  After all, if you really love Meteorite (for example) you may prefer to have Meteorite as the inlay that shows in your ring rather than your sand - so we will bury your sand beneath your Meteorite so that you can carry it with you always.

Such was the case with this lovely couple who brought us sand from their special place, The Wreck of the Peter Iredale in Oregon!

They came into our studio to design their rings as part of their Airbnb Experience and they brought sand from The Wreck of Peter Iredale with them.

And here are their beautiful rings!

THE WRECK OF THE PETER IREDALE | Meteorite & Black Marbled Opalescent Titanium Wedding Rings

If we do not have the beach sand or earthy material you are looking for, it is likely we can source it for you.  Even better than that, you can bring in (OR SHIP!) your own personal sand or rocks to be used in your rings.  We generally ask for about 1/2 cup of materials so that we can file them under your name.  With our Premium Lifetime Care, we promise to re-make your ring for free if you lose it.  If we have your sand on file, that makes that very easy to do.

Send us Beach Sand from your favorite place today!

I am always searching the planet for unconventional ring materials.  We have so many beautiful sands to choose from in our unconventional ring materials Ring Room/Materials Library here at Minter & Richter Designs.

Symbolically, Beach Sand as an inlay in your wedding ring is a no-brainer.  It is beautiful, timeless, and full of raw energy.  What could be more symbolic of passion than beach sand?  Any ring you see on our entire site could have one or more of its inlays replaced with beach sand from a famous wreck or anywhere else on earth. How will you design yours?

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.)
