Top Wedding Trends for 2013
If you've been to a wedding lately but might have mistaken it for a music video, circus, or mountain expedition, you're not alone! Weddings have gotten freaky, fantastic, and far-removed from the traditional little white chapel occasions that dominated generations past. Weddings have gotten a little less fit-the-mold and a little more be-yourself. DIY has become the norm, and that's why wedding galleries like these never get boring!
iPhone Groom & Bride
2013 is going to be an exciting year - we've outlived the rapture and Mayan apocalypse and more states are legalizing same-sex marriage! Here at Minter & Richter we've got an inside look at what may prove to be some of the year's hottest wedding trends. Check it out!
1. COLOR: What's cool and refreshing in summer and spring (think mojitos), yet can also provide comfort and warmth in winter or fall (hot cocoa) ...?
MINT is the new green.
Mint is what you make it: retro, girly, clean, classy...
Mint Rapunzel doesn't let her hair down for just anybody.
Minter & Richter - "When the Light is Gone, Love Remains" Titanium Wedding Band
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the one who doesn't want to blend in with the walls?
Minter & Richter - "Midori" Sandblasted Titanium Wedding Ring
2. BEAUTY: What happens when simple knots and twists are taken to the next level...?
Back to the basics with BRAIDS.
Elegant, Romantic, and won't sneak into your cake or kiss!
Go with the flow on your wedding day...
DIY wow.
3. DECOR: Did you ever cut out a paper heart in elementary school for somebody special...?
CUT-IT-OUT. Laser Cuts wow by adding a modern or vintage look to dress, decor, invites, you name it.
Vintage Lace gets a modern twist.
Bold design.
Honeycomb-cell bracelet.
Elevated. Overstated.
4. FOOD: What's often fruit-filled, and always fantastic....?
PIE takes the cake!
Cuts like cake, smashes like pie.
Eat your heart out!
Hap-pie-ly Ever After.
5. JEWELRY: What could be more traditional than a ring that will maintain its shining strength and beauty generations beyond gold and silver?
TITANIUM is getting hot, hot, hot! Extremely durable, 100% hypoallergenic, and with a lower price point than many other metals, titanium wedding bands continues to surge in popularity. MOKUME meets titanium:Featuring uniquely patterned metal-stock styled in the Mokume Gane tradition of Japan, our new M3 line of titanium rings are a modern interpretation of an ancient metal art. Originally created in 17th century Japan as adornment for samurai sword handles and sheaths, Mokume Gane reflects the finest hour of craftsmanship - reproducing the intrinsic beauty of mother nature herself. Bold!

Keeping the Love Alive: Titanium Wedding Band Care
Keeping the Love Alive: Titanium Wedding Band Care
When it comes to wedding bands, titanium is one of the strongest and longest-lasting metals around. But like any good marriage, a titanium wedding band will need love and care to keep it shining as bright as the day it was put around your finger. The inevitable surface scratches and scuffs from every day wear may be particularly evident in a new ring, but over time will develop a natural, even satin patina over the entire surface. Your level of activity and wearing habits will dictate how often the band will need a good cleaning and polish. The finish, color and inlay of your titanium wedding band will determine the method you use to clean your band.
Cleaning Titanium:
It is likely that you already have on hand the common household cleaning materials to care for your titanium wedding band. Liquid dish soap can remove any dirt and grease build up, and an ammonia glass cleaner can be used for shine. Wash and dry your ring with a soft towel or lint-free cloth.
Polishing Titanium:
Apply a cream metal polish with a jewelry care cloth to remove minor scratches in your titanium wedding band. Use liquid dish soap to wash away any polish residue. For titanium wedding bands with a satin or brushed finish, use a fine nylon pad (available at most auto care stores) to restore the soft look of the finish. Avoid rubbing any surface with anodized color, as it will take the color right off.
Cleaning Rings with Wood Inlays:
Titanium Wedding bands with wood inlays can easily be cleaned and polished with a little water and vegetable or mineral oil. Applying a good microcrystalline wax polish such as Renaissance Wax will offer added protection to your wood inlay.
Cleaning Anodized Rings:
Skin oil, soap residue and other contaminants can leave a film that can cause anodized color to look dull. Revive your anodized titanium wedding band by soaking it in glass cleaner for 3 minutes, then rinsing it in warm water before allowing it to air dry. Repeat the cleaning process if necessary. Remember never to wash anodized rings with cleaners containing abrasives.
Having you and your spouse’s bands professionally cleaned and polished can be a wonderful anniversary surprise.* Some couples opt to have personalized engraving added to the interiors of their bands on their first anniversary. With a little TLC, your titanium wedding bands will continue to shine, mirroring your commitment to care for each other throughout life.

Before there were Rings…
Before there were Rings…
Rumor has it that the man behind our titanium rings has a secret past...
Scott sands a ring on the lathe (Fall 2011).
Scott's knives as featured on Knife Legends (1999).
Scott became fascinated by custom knives as a teen and quickly made them his personal study. Beginning with only the most rudimentary of tools -- a file and hacksaw -- he took on the challenge of creating a fully functioning folding knife.
Scott's 1st knife - made at Age 13 (black resin, stainless steel) and 3rd knife (California Buckeye, titanium). (He sold the second one at a knife show for $20.)
Working in a Boston knife shop, Scott continued to hone his craft and acquire the sophisticated machinery which would allow his obsession to truly flourish.
"Making knives is a natural response to an ancient impulse." - Scott Richter
"Knives divide THIS from THAT...Knives allow man to make the world he wants out of the world he has." - Scott Richter
Above is an example of the intricately carved and colored folding knife that became his trademark style with partner Romas Benaitis. Using titanium, aluminum, Damascus steel and colored anodizing for special effects, the pair acquired a small, but loyal following for their work.
Several of their knives were featured in the limited edition volumes of"Knives: Point of Interest" and on the custom knives site Knife Legends. Carrying such names as "The Ancus", "Spawn" and "Atlantis", their knives present folding and dual acting blades, titanium scales, and intricate carving.
From knives to pen sets, earrings, boxes, and rings, Scott has engineered and shaped titanium into the utilitarian, fantastic, and beautiful.
