Custom-Made Men's Ring - Twig Design by Dawn Vertrees Designs


This custom-made men's ring features a square-cut labradorite gemstone with a striking blue-green iridescence, set in a textured silver band. The band is intricately designed to resemble twisted twigs, with organic, branch-like patterns wrapping around the finger, giving it a rugged, nature-inspired look. The craftsmanship highlights the stone's natural beauty and the metallic finish adds a bold, masculine touch.

Engagement Ring

Rough Diamond Twig Engagement Ring in Solid Gold, Hand sculpted Twig Design in 14k Yellow Gold (shown)

This ring is also available in 14k White Gold, 14k Rose Gold, please allow 2 weeks for custom orders. Please select gold needed in "Note from Buyer" during checkout.

There is something inside me that appreciates the details found in nature. Whether its in the shape of the leaves and how they touch each other, the tree's many textures or how the limbs reach out to the sky. I see it all as something that grows with passion and has a valuable purpose in our lives. I want that exact feeling in every ring I create.

Those same thoughts go into every design I create in my studio. When I sit down at my bench, I will look at that diamond or gemstone and visualize how those limbs will hold that little jewel up in the air. I want to sculpt the branches and leaves as if its a presentation to you, so I hope you find something of mine that touches your heart as much as it has touched mine.

Hand sculpted Diamond Wedding Set, a true one-of-a-kind creation.
