Are these nature inspired rings only for outdoorsy people?

Nope, they're for anyone who appreciates not looking like everyone else at the family reunion. You don't need to identify 27 bird species or own hiking boots to appreciate a beautiful moss agate. Although if you do own Birkenstocks, you're legally required to consider at least one of these rings.

How do I care for a ring with natural materials?

Avoid harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and using your ring as a bottle opener (we know it's tempting). Clean with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth. Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches - your precious nature ring doesn't want to cuddle with your watch.

What if the ring doesn't fit once it arrives?

We offer a 30-day return period because we understand that ring sizes, like feelings about your future in-laws, can fluctuate. Use our free ring sizer before ordering to increase your chances of getting it right the first time. If you still need a different size, our customer happiness team will help faster than you can say 'my fingers are slightly puffy from all the wedding planning stress.'

Nature Inspired Engagement Rings: For Love That Grows Like Trees

You've decided to propose. Good call. Now comes the terrifying part: finding a ring that says "I love you" without saying "I clearly panicked and bought the first shiny thing I saw." For the partner who prefers sunrises to selfies and forest trails to shopping malls, our nature inspired engagement rings bring the outdoors to their finger—minus the bug spray.

Featuring elements like moss agate that look like tiny captured landscapes, salt and pepper diamonds that resemble starry night skies, and designs that would make Mother Nature herself nod in approval (not that we've met her, but we assume she has excellent taste). These rings are perfect for the person who would rather identify bird calls than scroll social media, or who has ever used the phrase "let's touch grass" unironically.

Earth's Finest Bling: Nature's Masterpieces on a Finger

Lucky for us, nature did the design work long before humans figured out jewelry. We're just copying homework at this point. Our nature inspired engagement rings feature elements that took millions of years to perfect, which beats the three minutes you spent picking out your outfit this morning.

What makes these rings special? They're basically tiny versions of your favorite outdoor adventures:

Moss agate stones: Like miniature forests trapped in time, perfect for the partner who has more houseplants than friends.
Salt and pepper diamonds: Nature's perfect imperfections showcasing a night sky with just the right amount of stars.
Hexagonal settings: Mimicking honeycomb structures that are structurally superior to your attempt at assembling furniture.
Organic curves: Bands that flow like mountain ranges or river paths, all without requiring hiking boots.

Each ring tells a story more interesting than your "how we met" anecdote (though we're sure that's riveting too). Pair these engagement rings with one of our fashionable men's bands for a set that complements each other better than you two after three drinks at karaoke night. Whether your partner is a weekend hiker or someone who names their houseplants, these rings speak to that primal connection with the outdoors that Instagram filters can't replicate.

Craftsmanship and Materials: From Earth to Ring

Our nature inspired rings aren't made by forest elves (we checked, they wanted too many benefits). Instead, our expert jewelers somehow translate "I want something nature-y" into actual wearable art.

We use materials that make most geologists weak in the knees:

Ethically sourced natural tourmalines: Adding color variety that puts your streaming service recommendations to shame.
Moss agates with unique patterns: No two are alike, much like snowflakes or excuses for being late to in-laws' dinners.
Accent lab grown diamonds: Guilt-free sparkle for the environmentally conscious, like driving an electric car but for your finger.
Salt and pepper diamonds: Embracing imperfections that somehow cost more than perfection, which seems unfair but we don't make the rules.

The craftsmanship involves techniques passed down through generations, or as we like to call it, "the opposite of how you assemble IKEA furniture." Precision settings cradle pear moss agate stones in formations that showcase their unique patterns. Each tiny inclusion and color variation isn't a flaw – it's nature's signature, like a thumbprint but considerably more expensive.

Choosing Your Unique Nature Inspired Ring: Tips and Ideas

Choosing a nature inspired engagement ring is less stressful than actual camping. No bears, for starters. Here's how to nail it:

Your ring selection should consider these critical factors:

Their outdoor personality: Forest dweller? Go for moss agate. Star gazer? Salt and pepper diamonds. Plant whisperer? Something with organic curves.
Activity level: Rock climbers and gardeners need something that can take a beating, much like your relationship after they've seen how you load a dishwasher.
Ring size precision: Unlike that "one-size-fits-all" hat currently strangling your skull, rings need to be exact. Order our free ring sizer to avoid proposal disasters.
Material durability: Different natural materials have different hardness levels, kind of like your friends after a few drinks.

Remember that this ring isn't just jewelry – it's a tiny piece of the natural world they'll carry everywhere, including that work meeting where Dave from accounting talks for 45 minutes about his spreadsheet methodology. At least they'll have something beautiful to stare at while contemplating their life choices.

Who Is Manly Bands?

Meet John and Michelle, the husband and wife team who started Manly Bands out of their garage in 2016.

After having a horrible experience finding John's wedding band with limited sizes, boring options and an awful customer experience, they set out to change the ring industry and make the most badass bands for every hand.

We believe your wedding band should be as unique as your fingerprint. Except cleaner. And less likely to be found at a crime scene. Unlike traditional jewelers who offer three variations of "shiny circle," we create alternative engagement rings and bands from materials that have stories: whiskey barrels, meteorites, dinosaur bones, and even guitar strings. Because if you're wearing one ring for life, it should at least be interesting enough to distract from your rapidly receding hairline.

We make the ring-buying experience something you'll actually enjoy. No snooty salespeople. No pressure tactics. No making you feel bad for not knowing what "milgrain" means (it's a beaded detail on the edge of metal, by the way – we just saved you a Google search). In short, we're building a ring company that doesn't suck. Because getting married is stressful enough without adding "bland jewelry shopping" to the mix.
