Unconventional Ring Materials
The best part of customizing your wedding ring with Minter & Richter Designs is that you can truly create a ring that is an expression of yourself. You are like no one else on Earth; therefore your wedding ring should not be like anyone else's ring. The way to ensure that is to create a ring that expresses more than just the fact that you are married. For our beloved military and military and war memorial enthusiasts, we have a library of precious materials to use as inlay in wedding rings. Beach Sand from Battleground sites, shell casings, and uniform buttons, to name a few Unconventional Ring Materials .

People come to us for all sorts of reasons, but titanium and its well-known durability is a strong pull. Especially for people who are hard on their hands, like our United States Military. Not only do they like using a metal that is also used in their line of work, but they also like the fact that they can inlay their rings with meaningful materials like Beach Sand From D-Day Omaha Beach, Normandy France, or Iwo Jima.
Omaha Beach D-Day - Unconventional Ring Materials
At Minter and Richter Designs, we are proud to get to offer a 10% discount to all veterans and active military. On top of that, we donate 50% of the cost of our memorial rings to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society. Our son, Syrus, is a Marine and we are extremely proud of him and all our military here at MRD. Titanium is the perfect metal for all our strong and brave protectors and first responders. Since only Marines are allowed to go to Iwo Jima, we are very grateful to our Marine friend who got us some precious sand from there.
With this precious sand, we can make ultra-durable titanium wedding rings like the ones below.

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!
(**Please note that sizers can add approximately 2 weeks to order processing.)
