WEND wedding/everyday bands are inspired by the textures of nature. We hand carve the rings in wax and cast them in our West Seattle Jewelry Studio. Choose your collection, your width, and your metal to honor your unique journey.
1. 14K Yellow, 14K White, or 14K Red SCS Certified Recycled Post-Consumer Metal.
2. Your Gold: Do you have gold jewelry stamped with a gold karat stamp that's not getting the attention it deserves? We can melt it into your WEND collection ring. If the gold covers the entirety of the ring (often it takes a few pieces), we'll apply a 20% price reduction.
3. Sterling Silver SCS Certified Recycled Post-Consumer Metal.
*If you plan to use your WEND ring as a wedding ring or everyday ring, we recommend you opt for gold if your budget allows. Gold maintains its integrity far longer than silver.
5% of net sales of every purchase of a WEND ring benefit non-profit organizations working to better the world. The collections of Basalt, Douglas Fir, Roots, Knots, Sandstone, and Pathways goes to the Washington Trails Association, an organization which helps people explore, steward, and champion public lands. The collections of Lagoon, Waterfall, Smooth, and Tidepools help fund The Center for Whale Research, an organization dedicated to salmon and whale recovery through restoring our waterways.

Every aspect of a WEND Jewelry original is carefully sourced using SCS Certified Recycled precious metal or Fairmined gold. Every gemstone has a known story, and our handmade jewelry is crafted in our Seattle studio.
Most jewelry is designed on a computer. At WEND Jewelry, we design in nature, and create nature inspired jewelry collections and custom jewelry by hand. We use traditional goldsmithing tools to make your handmade jewelry.
Most jewelry is gendered. WEND Jewelry collections can be worn by you, no matter who you are. If you appreciate nature and prefer rugged, well-made, gender neutral jewelry, you have found it. Gender shouldn't define jewelry; you should.
