No names — just the difference between a ring made by hand in our shop and the kind you see all over big online catalogs.

	Ring + Grove co	Typical catalog brand
Who makes the ring	We make every ring by hand in our workshop.	A lot of brands order rings overseas in bulk and resell them.
How it's built	Bentwood — thin veneers steamed and wrapped around a core, shaped on the lathe, finished by hand.	Often drilled out of a solid block of wood.
Who you talk to	The people building your ring — Jeff, Bethany, our workshop.	Customer service reps, not the maker.
When it's made	Made to order after you buy. Usually 2–3 weeks.	Often already sitting in a warehouse, or shipping from overseas.
The wood	Whisky barrel oak, rosewood, maple — materials we pick and use ourselves.	Generic stock wood, sometimes stained to look fancier than it is.

Every ring is steamed, wrapped around a core, shaped on the lathe, and finished by hand — no factory line, no CNC. Bentwood means the grain runs all the way around instead of being cut through, so the ring holds up to daily wear. That's how we've made 15,000+ rings over 10+ years.
