If you have been to our studio here in Boston, you have seen our massive library of sands, rocks, bones and all other earthy materials from around the globe. Any material on this great planet can be crushed into an inlay in your wedding ring. IWO JIMA is a popular place to source beach sands for the powerful weight it holds in all our hearts as our American heroes stormed the beach on February 18th, 1945.
Since we provide both a discount to all military for our rings as well as free lodging when they come to Boston to design their rings, we are lucky enough to have been able to meet with many American heroes - some of whom have gifted us with sands and earth materials from battlegrounds and other sacred locations. If you have your own Iwo Jima or other sand that you would prefer to use over ours, we just ask that you provide us with apx. 1/4 cup of it so that we can store it under your name should you ever need a new ring made in the future due to loss or damage. With our Premium Lifetime Care, we promise to re-make your ring for free if you lose it. If we have your sand on file, that makes that very easy to do.
IWO JIMA is, as we all know, a tremendously beautiful volcanic island with massive amounts of gorgeous sands, rocks, to be used in your wedding rings.
Check out some of these somber yet gorgeous wedding rings made with Iwo Jima Sand.

I am always searching the planet for unconventional ring materials. We have so many beautiful sands to choose from in our unconventional ring materials Ring Room/Materials Library here at Minter & Richter Designs.
As with many of our sands, woods, and stones, I often find myself sitting on unconventional ring materials just waiting until some couple comes along wanting it in their rings. That was the way with Beach Sand as well.
Symbolically, Beach Sand as an inlay in your wedding ring is a no-brainer. It is beautiful, timeless, and full of raw energy. What could be more symbolic of passion than beach sand? Any ring you see on our entire site could have one or more of its inlays replaced with beach sand from IWO JIMA or anywhere else on earth. How will you design yours?

FAQs
Q: How do I get sized?
A: WE STRONGLY SUGGEST PURCHASING MINTER & RICHTER CUSTOM SIZERS to guarantee you get the absolute perfect fit for your ring. The industry-wide standard for ring size carries many variables (different measuring tools, ring widths, ring materials, and design). Factory-made bands are sized LESS accurately than our handmade bands. Therefore, getting sized at a factory jewelry store does not guarantee that the size will be correct. We offer Sizing Exchanges for life for half price. But getting Custom Sizers ensures that you will not need a sizing exchange. A sizing exchange is 50% the cost of the original if you were not sized on our custom sizers.
- Minter & Richter Custom Aluminum Sizers ($45 for a set of 3 sizers): If you have a general idea of what your ring size might be, we can make you a set of custom aluminum sizers (plain aluminum bands) in three different sizes at your preferred width. This allows you to spend time wearing each sizer for a day or two and finding out which one offers the most comfortable fit. Finger size can fluctuate slightly throughout the day due to water intake, temperature, etc. so this is an excellent way to get an accurate representation of exactly how your final ring will fit. We request that customers purchase their final ring(s) at the same time as the sizers. We will ship you the sizers along with a SASE for convenient return (domestic only – international must pay for return shipping). Once you confirm your ring size we begin making your rings with unconventional ring materials!
(**Please note that sizers can add approximately 2 weeks to order processing.)
