Historic Teak Wood

The outside of this ring is made from the original teak decking of the USS New Jersey battleship. The same wood walked upon, fought upon, and stood upon by US sailors of many generations.

Launched on December 7th, 1942 -- exactly one year after the bombing of Pearl Harbor -- the famed USS New Jersey battleship would go on to serve in WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam, and kept watch during the Cold War era. After serving 21 years of active duty (49 years in total), she was finally decommissioned in 1991.

She holds the distinction of being the most decorated battleship in US history!

Purple Heart Liner

Beloved for its enchanting deep purple hues, purpleheart wood is derived from trees that thrive in regions of Central and South America. When first cut, the wood may look dull brown or gray, but after a few days of exposure to air and sunlight, it turns the distinctive shade of purple this material is known for. This extraordinary wood adds a touch of rustic charm and striking color to any ring design.

Center Custom Fabric & Dual White Gold Inlays

The dark fabric center creates a wonderful contrast to the wood. The white gold inlays tie the elements together and add a touch of class.

Each Ring is Handcrafted in North Carolina

It's our honor to play a small role in the new "Made in USA" movement that is taking place across the nation and to do so by sharing part in our American heritage. Each ring purchased represents a tangible piece of American history and keeps the stories of heroism and honor alive and well.
