"Our whisky barrel rings are more than just jewellery; they're a piece of history you can wear every day, reminding you of the rich, complex journey of love."

Addressing Common Concerns

Are whisky barrel rings durable?

Yes! The combination of tungsten and treated wood ensures longevity. The wood is sealed and protected by the metal, making it resistant to water and daily wear.

Can these rings be resized?

Due to the nature of tungsten and wood, these rings cannot be resized. However, we offer a free ring sizer to ensure you get the perfect fit, and we'll swap out your ring for free if you need a different size!

Will the wood smell like whisky?

While the rings are crafted from genuine whisky barrels, they don't retain a whisky scent. The wood is thoroughly treated and sealed, preserving its appearance without any lingering aromas.

Find Your Ring Size

How It Works:

Click to expand

  1. Measure Your Finger or an Existing Ring:

    • Finger Circumference: Use a strip of paper or a piece of string and wrap it around the base of your finger. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length against a ruler. Input this measurement into our tool.
    • Inner Diameter of an Existing Ring: If you have a ring that fits perfectly, simply measure its inner diameter (from edge to edge of the ring's inside circle). Enter this measurement for an accurate size conversion.

  2. Get Your Global Size: Our application instantly converts your measurement into the most commonly used international ring sizing standards - US, UK, French, German, Japanese, and Swiss. This feature makes our tool perfect for both local and international shoppers.

  3. Shop with Confidence: Once you have your ring size, explore our exquisite collection with the assurance that your chosen piece will fit as if it were made just for you.

Tips for Accurate Measurement:

Click to expand
  • Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is likely to be at its largest size.
  • Avoid measuring when you're cold, as fingers can be smaller.
  • If your knuckle is significantly larger than the base of your finger, measure both and select a size in between to ensure the ring will fit.
