Ethical Sourcing

At Natural Rings, we are committed to ethical and ecological sourcing of our materials. Here’s a closer look at the materials we use and their sourcing origins:

Tungsten

Origin: Tungsten is primarily sourced from mines in Australia. We partner with suppliers who adhere to strict ethical guidelines, ensuring fair labor practices and minimal environmental impact.

Sustainability: Tungsten is one of the hardest metals, making it incredibly durable. Its longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, promoting sustainability.

Koa wood

Origin: Koa wood comes from the Hawaiian Islands, where it is harvested from forests using a process called "thinning". It's a practice where selected trees are removed to give the remaining ones more space, sunlight, and resources to grow stronger and healthier.

Sustainability: Koa wood is known for its stunning grain and color variations. Its sustainable sourcing supports reforestation.

Abalone shell

Origin: Our abalone shells are sourced from fisheries in New Zealand. These fisheries follow strict regulations to protect marine ecosystems.

Sustainability: The shells are a byproduct of the seafood industry, making them an eco-friendly choice. Abalone is also known for its beautiful iridescent colors, adding a unique touch to our rings.

Opal

Origin: We source our opals from ethical mines in Australia, where mining practices prioritize environmental stewardship and community welfare.

Sustainability: Opals are a natural gemstone that requires minimal processing. Their vibrant colors and patterns make each piece unique and beautiful.

Antler

Origin: Our antler materials are ethically sourced from naturally shed antlers in Australia. We ensure that all antlers are collected responsibly without harming wildlife.

Sustainability: Antlers are a renewable resource, as deer naturally shed their antlers annually. This practice supports wildlife conservation efforts and reduces waste.

Whiskey barrel wood

Origin: Whiskey barrel wood is sourced from used barrels, primarily from distilleries in Scotland. We collaborate with various communities to repurpose this wood, giving it a second life.

Sustainability: By reusing whiskey barrels, we reduce waste and minimize the demand for new timber. Also, it's pretty cool.
