Looking for someone to hook you up with some gorgeous custom wedding rings? You're gonna be pretty excited to meet our sponsor, tinahdee beautiful jewelry. Tina hand-makes her rings to order, using gold, silver, and other metals to create wedding bands and engagement rings — all with you and your specific desires in mind.
Speaking of specific desires, come take a look at a few of my favorites, ending with the ring that would make the perfect gift for your favorite Offbeat Bride Managing Editor (just sayin')…
I love these twisty rings. They're simple, earthy, yet elegant and you can wear them alone or stack 'em with other rings (my personal favorite look). Tina hand makes these twisty rings, just like all her rings, in a variety of metals — pink gold, yellow, white, or even green gold — all for the same price.
Tina also makes many different kinds of ring sets. From wedding bands for each partner, like the hammered white gold rings pictured above, to wedding ring sets (engagement ring plus the band). My personal favorite wedding ring set is the Renaissance and Solid Gold Nugget set — so sweet, I just swoon.
Many of the tinahdee rings can be personalized at no additional cost, either on the inside or the outside of the bands, or hell, BOTH! My favorite example of her personalized rings are tinahdee's Sterling Proposal Ring — cute idea, right? Ladies, would this not be the perfect way to propose to your boyfriend or girlfriend?
And here it is, the ring set of my dreams, three gold nugget stackers paired with a hammered solid gold band. Ugh, it's so hawt. Me wants it.
No matter what ring you desire, they will all be completely hand forged and created to fit your specific custom order. Tina's got the perfect rings for bird enthusiasts, bridesmaid gifts, rings for nursing mothers, and even designs for people who like to play with their rings. But you gotta head over to tinahdee beautiful jewelry to find the one that suits you best… then come on back and tell us which ones you love the most.

Oh, how I love the "hammered" finish!

I totally recommend tinahdee's jewelry! My boyfriend and I got distressed silver rings with our initials on them for our one-year anniversary last fall. The service was great, and the rings were beautiful, done exactly how we envisioned.

hi! I ordered the hammered gold rings and would NOT recommend them. They feel very thin (like I could squeeze the ring and flatten it with my fingers) and cheap.
While I liked the price, I returned them — this is something I want to wear the rest of my life, I dont want it to BEND. We're getting them somewhere else, with a heftier weight.

As the maker of this jewelry, and being familiar with the transaction noted above, I'd like to respond. I had the option of having ktqb's comment removed from this post, but hey, that's no fun.
The rings ktqb ordered and that I custom made for her are 4mm x 1.5mm and 2.5mm x 1.25mm, respectively, which are standard widths and corresponding thicknesses for rings of this type. The dimensions were clearly stated in the listing and the rings are shown on fingers for scaling purposes. They were made from 14k solid white gold and are very hard (I can say "are", because I have the rings, right now, right here.)
I can safely say that unless you are a superhuman Amazon woman with fingers the size of tree branches and as strong as mastodon limbs, you're not going to be able to BEND these rings with your bare hands!
I have sold many sets of rings like this and many individual rings of both sizes, and ktqb is the only individual who wasn't happy with them. It is my goal to make all of my customers happy and satisfied, and I work hard at that.
When ktqb received their rings, the comment I received was "We just received our rings in the mail today. I think mine is absolutely beautiful, but my fiance wanted to know if it would be at all possible to get his ring about 2mm wider and about a 1/2 size bigger (he ordered a size 9 and would need a 9 1/2)." I couldn't accommodate the extra width, so ktqb initiated a return of the rings.
Thanks, Ariel, for the opportunity to share the other side of the story. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has.

Thanks for responding, Tina!
I was worried I was too harsh with this comment to begin with — but I wanted to leave a truthful review, and in my opinion, as a customer, they were too thin and didn't feel very durable.
Of course I didn't TRY to bend them…because then I couldn't have returned them!
And they were very beautiful, which is why we are getting a similar style elsewhere.
But good luck to all other ladies out there and best to you, Tina, and your business.

Actually, if you'd somehow been able to bend them (the qualifications for accomplishing this are noted in my original comment), I'd have literally knocked myself out to refund, replace, go shopping and find you a better set at another jeweler, whatever it took to make you happy. I will not have a customer of mine with a bent ring, not as long as I'm aware of it.
