Why Buy a 100% Recycled Gold Wedding Band?

Our 100% recycled gold wedding bands use a sustainable form of refined gold that is just as pure and valuable as standard gold but eliminates the negative environmental and social impacts caused by gold mining. This gold wedding band is the perfect way to symbolize your unique love and unity while passing on that love and care to our people, our planet, and future generations.

Whether you choose White Gold for its cool tones, Rose Gold for its rosy hue, or Yellow Gold for its classic look, your one-of-a-kind gold ring will outshine the average big-box jewelry store design any day.

Each gold blank used here at Rustic & Main is sourced from Stuller, a brand established in 1970. We are proud to work with a like-minded business that believes in an Earth First Commitment and that every business should operate with social responsibility in mind. Stuller is certified through the Responsible Jewelry Council which holds each business accountable for protecting the human rights of those involved in the jewelry supply chain.

Muonionalusta Meteorite Ring Inlay

The Muonionalusta meteorite, which is estimated to be the oldest known meteorite, impacted northern Scandinavia over one million years ago. First unearthed in Sweden in 1906, only 40 fragments of this remarkable meteorite have ever been identified. When ground, the meteorite produces a fine, black dust that sparkles with silver iron flecks. To accentuate the stunning beauty of our meteorite ring inlays, we carefully add additional silver flecks to create a striking design that evokes the splendor of the night sky and the extraterrestrial origins of this remarkable material.

USS North Carolina Teak Wood Ring Inlays

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, they knew they had "awoken a sleeping giant," but they had no idea just how prepared this giant was for war. The USS North Carolina (BB-55) was built in 1940 and commissioned for service in April of 1941. She was the newest and fastest battleship that the US had ever created and would go on to lead every major naval offensive in WWII, earning 15 battle stars. Her wartime complement included 144 officers and 2,195 enlisted men of the finest generation America has ever known.

After her decommissioning in June of 1947 and subsequent restoration project years later, the teak wood of her original decks was made available to the public in limited supply. We are very excited to offer a limited collection of rings that feature this story-filled wood.

Note: All teak can vary in color from a brownish-orange to a deep brown.
