Before making your big purchase, it’s important to understand the differences between 10k and 14k gold, the various colors of gold available, and why recycled gold is becoming increasingly important in the jewelry industry.

We are excited to see more consumers learning how to be more mindful with their purchases, especially when it comes to sustainable jewelry. The jewelry industry has been known for its unethical mining practices that put people and our planet in danger. Luckily, companies like Rustic & Main are taking steps to provide ethical gold jewelry.

At Rustic and Main, we are committed to the ethical and sustainable sourcing of all materials used in our handcrafted rings.

Learn about the differences between solid gold, gold-filled, and gold-plated jewelry. You can also find out how the shades of yellow, white, and rose gold are made and why that might affect the color you pick for your gold wedding band.

We endearingly called this The Cowboy Ring. Cole and Sarah share their story of creating a custom ring that tells the Cole's life story, which include a nod to his cowboy dad, Irish mother, and the place he and Sarah first met.

See how a couple incorporated our Jurassic ring into their amazing Jurassic Park themed wedding!

Reid and Hailey share their millennial love story of how they first met online, and are now getting married! They tell about the process of crafting a unique wedding band with Rustic & Main and give out some nifty wedding planning tips.

Most wedding rings fall into a few basic categories, and for couples who want to think outside the box for their wedding, custom ring design is a great option.

When you're choosing the best material for a men's wedding band, it's not just about what looks good. Well, maybe it is. A little. But it's also about finding the material that speaks to you and tells your story for all to hear.
