Dreamwood Rings

My name is Chad with DreamWood rings! We are here to have fun and learn some of the best and easiest ways to make your own wood rings. We use bentwood, opal and stone inlays, and may different metal choices. I like to keep things light hearted and fun here. Thank you for your support and happy making!

    This was so helpful! I was so worried that it'd be really easy to scratch through the plating given how soft gold is and how thin the plating is. I know that y'all don't sell them yourselves, but a video testing the durability of the finish on timascus rings (like the ones sold by The Opal Dealer) would also be very helpful.
