Looking for a Simple Wooden Ring

by Adam S.

Hello, I was just beginning to look for a wooden ring from Victorian or Edwardian times. Could be wooden/metal or a replication as well. If you could help out that would be awesome.

Hi Adam,

Unfortunately, most rings with any type of wood in them from the Victorian or Edwardian times have not survived in good condition. Rings from these eras were crafted around 1837 to 1910. Plus, most rings from these times were made from silver, gold and platinum.

Men did not usually wear wedding rings during these times, instead they often wore signet rings or large bold rings made with eye catching gemstones to showcase their wealth and social standing or rank. (Wedding rings for men did not become common until World War II). Simple men's rings from the Victorian and Edwardian times were just not that popular. The men's rings from these times were big, bold and beautiful - and rarely simple.

If you are looking for a simple wooden ring or metal ring, I would recommend buying a wood ring that was recently crafted in a style you like. Check out our page Wooden Wedding Rings if you would like more info on today's wooden wedding rings.

Alternatively, you could browse around estate sales or antique auctions - and maybe someday you will find a ring that would suit. You may also want to check out Etsy and search for men's vintage rings. There may be authentic vintage men's rings through Etsy which suit your style too.

I hope this info is helpful for you, and good luck on your search!
