Its Latin name, Lignum Vitae, translates as the "Tree of Life". Long known as the hardest timber in the world, Ironwood has incredible strength, only matched by its beauty. Ironwood has been used in both aesthetic and utilitarian endeavors for centuries. From ornate carvings to pulleys for hoisting, it's strength is unmatched.

This design pairs the hardest natural metal in the world, with the hardest natural timber. I brush and hammer the exterior to a smooth rustic look. All titanium rings with inlays are sealed with Titanium Aircraft Adhesive, and each ring is sealed in lustrous water resistant finish. Finally the rings are polished with beeswax. We use jewelers grade 5 6AL-4V titanium in every ring.

Fits perfectly

Looks better than the pictures. Very comfortable and fits great. Easy transaction and it arrived quickly. Thank you.

My 6mm Hercules lasted a year and 8 months before having issues. Finally the adhesive gave out completely & I got a Norseman as a warranty replacement (by paying the difference in price). The coloration of the ironwood wasn’t always so dark, the wood patinas with time and skin oils. Superglue does work as a temporary fix, but I’m sure there’s a better alternative out there as well. For now I’m happy to have 2 great rings, one with a manageable defect!

Got this to replace my wedding band that I lost. Really comfortable and I love the craftsmanship. Very happy with my purchase.

Beautiful ring. I love the mix of wood and titanium and the hammered look.

Beautiful ring

The ring arrived in terrible condition. The finish on the wooden inlay was chipped across the whole surface. Would not recommend Thorum.

Perfect experience. Quick delivery, quality product, and my wife absolutely loves it.

Great product, really like the metal and wood look. Ring was as described in the ad and transaction was very easy. Delivery time was very fast.

It looks extremely handsome on my husband's hand! Love the selection and the prices here! Will definitely be returning for more purchases!

Beautiful piece!!! The fit and the unique style was unlike any other! Extremely happy!!

I order the wrong size and they sent the correct size no hassles Quick turn around. The ring is light weight and beautiful. Can’t wait to see my husband wear it

My husband lost his wedding band a couple of years ago so, for our 10 year anniversary I decided to get him a new one. He’s not a very traditional guy and really likes unique, non-traditional things. I found Thorum when searching for wood wedding bands. I immediately fell in love with their designs and their story. I loved the beautiful wood on the inside and the rustic metal (tin for 10) on the outside. It’s lightweight and reportedly very comfortable. He’s been wearing it since I gave it to him. We are both very pleased!

love the fit and style

Absolutely love this ring. Well built, looks awesome, and my wife loves it too. Very high quality construction and excellent customer service.

Flawless...it is better than it looks online. This is actually a 6mm. I found the ring swap to be very easy and intuitive. What a wonderful company. I am actually in love with the silicone band that accompanied the ring. Thorum is my ONLY recommendation for men's wedding rings. Wonderful company and customer service. Well done Thorum!!

We are IN LOVE with this ring. Waiting for the wedding to officially put this on his finger is the hardest part. We are getting married in Ironwood county so the ironwood origin and the overall story of this ring is such an impactful and magical part of our story too. Thank you for creating such meaningful rings!

Great quality and I get what I was looking for. Thank you very much. Very light to wear and comfortable.

He loves the Hercules ring and finds it comfortable. Great customer service and fast shipping. We needed a half size down and so far it’s been a quick easy exchange process. We have the new size on the way and it sounds like a super easy process to get the original to you. Thank you so much!!

Great business. Great product. It’s our second one. Wouldn’t shop anywhere else. Unique and awesome

Thank you for making such unique rings! My husband is thrilled with the Hercules ring. It fits him perfectly. He keeps talking about how much he loves it. Shipping was quick too!

Wonderful rings we got for our engagement. Metal is beautifully worked and I love the wood inside.

The perfect ring for my nature loving Viking fiancé! He absolutely loved the ironwood element. Comes in a super cute wooden box as well! Lighter than expected but that’s a plus, esp for someone who isn’t used to wearing rings.

Married my partner of 4 years last Thursday and we purchased these rings. Beautiful..as described.

Beautiful, great smooth fit. Highly recommend.

11/8mm Great fit. Not intrusive. I was looking for subtle luxury and this ring fits the bill.

I was worried about buying a wedding ring without ever seeing it in person. But I couldn't be more pleased with how it looks! The hardest part was narrowing it down from all the great options. Now I think I'll just order another so I have options!

Perfect fit, great quality and classic look. The ring is a great representation of my love for my wife and a reflection of who I am as a person.

This ring has been an excellent replacement of my wedding band i had worn for 43 years and lost at the beach this summer. It is masculine, comfortable and well made. My wife and i both love this ring! Also, it comes in a nice little wooden box! Thank you Northbands!!! -Rick&Linda

First off, fastest shipping I have experienced in quite some time. Also, the ring fit perfectly, and looks great. 10/10 recommend!

The ring is fantastic. Exactly what we were looking for. Pretty surprised at how awesome this company is having found out about them from Tim Dillon, lol. The dude loves it, and now the ladies know he’s betrothed. :) Another note; we had to exchange it for a different size, and their process is super quick and easy. Would recommend.

Awesome!

My husband absolutely loved it. It is light weight and absolutely gorgeous. It's unique and this alone was the reason why I decided to purchase and I am so glad that I did.

Super pretty and exactly what we were looking for! My fiancee took a really long time to choose something he really liked and when he saw it in person finally, he knew he’d made the right choice. The titanium is a much better choice for guys not wanting a bright white gold/platinum ring... The finish he puts on titanium makes the ring look not only individually unique but a lot less processed like some of the boiler plate hammered finishes offered elsewhere. The wood inlay of this band makes it extremely comfortable, I can’t emphasize that enough... The width is perfect for his hand, too. Honestly this exactly what he was looking for!

Absolutely adore our rings. My wife and I actually got matching bands and we’re so pleased we did. After learning more about Northbands’ story as a family-owned business and the care and attention taken into making each ring, only makes us appreciate more. Highly recommend!

Great ring and it fits! Very fast delivery!

So happy we found this ring. He picked it out and we both love it— lots of compliments already. He couldn’t wait to wear it, so it’s on two months before wedding day. <3

The ring is absolutely perfect. I looked at hundreds of rings before choosing this one. It's exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be more pleased. The craftsmanship and detail are second to none. Incredible customer service and lightening fast shipping.

He had seen the photo of this ring and really fell in love with it. We had looked at other wedding bands and he just could never get this one out of his mind. So we ordered it and he absolutely loves it. He's not wearing it yet because we won't get married until October

I purchased my Hammered Titanium and Ironwood in a size 10 US / 6mm earlier this summer. The look, fit and finish was exceptional. I can also attest to the fact that their customer service is excellent. I will definitely be recommending Northbands to anyone in the market for a wedding band or ring.
