Artisan David Finch, in partnership with wife Nicola, lives off the grid in British Columbia and reclaims blown-down and bug-killed trees or scrap wood to make exquisite custom-designed rings.

Sustainably harvested wood is one of our most precious and versatile natural resources, but you may not think of it as jewelry material until you see these extraordinary Touch Wood Rings.


The Finches encourage their clients to choose woods that are meaningful for them, or to carefully consider the properties of different woods (like gemstones, woods are said to transmit energy to the wearer). Committed to sustainability and stewardship of the land, the Finches use only word-of-mouth and satellite internet to spread the word about their lovely artistry and truly unique jewelry. ($350 and up.)
