The Story Behind the Ring

Responsibly Sourced 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 Jewellery Council which holds each business accountable for protecting the human rights of those involved in the jewelry supply chain.

Springfield 1903 Rifle Stock Walnut Wood Ring Inlay

Though first used in the Philippine-American war in the 19th Century, the 1903 Springfield Rifle was officially adopted by the United States for use in The Great War. The 1903 Springfield Rifle Stock wood remains one of the rarest materials for us to find. The deep walnut color pairs well with any brilliant color of recycled gold and makes for a grand story.

We obtain our 1903 stocks from reputable sellers and check both the style of the rifle stock and cartouche stamps to make sure they are authentic WWII-era pieces.
