Antler Rings and Wedding Bands
Antler Rings and Wedding Bands: Wear the Outdoors
For the man who wants to wear a piece of wilderness without the hassle of growing his own. Our antler wedding bands combine genuine deer and elk antler with durable metals like tungsten and titanium, creating a ring that says "I appreciate nature" without saying "I live in a cabin with no electricity."
Every antler ring features real antler inlay with unique grain, color, and pattern variations. Just like your hunting stories that somehow get more impressive each time you tell them.
These bands hit the right balance between rugged and refined. Suitable for both wilderness adventures and the mandatory dinner parties with your in-laws.
Customization Options for Antler Wedding Bands
Antler is the headliner, but the rest of the ring is yours to design.
-
Antler type: Most of our rings use deer or elk antler. Each animal produces antler with slightly different grain, color, and texture. Deer antler tends to be lighter and finer. Elk antler tends to be larger, denser, and a bit warmer in tone.
-
Base metal: Tungsten for maximum hardness and a heavier feel, titanium for lightweight strength and hypoallergenic comfort, black zirconium for a charcoal-toned modern look.
-
Width: Most antler wedding bands sit in the 6mm to 8mm range, which is where the inlay shows off best. Narrower and the antler detail gets lost. Wider works if you have bigger hands and want a real statement piece.
-
Combination inlays: Some of our most popular antler rings pair the antler with a second natural material like whiskey barrel oak, koa wood, or turquoise. The contrast between cream-colored antler and dark wood is a classic combination.
-
Finish: Polished metal edges with raw antler in the center is the most popular style. Brushed or hammered metal finishes work too if you want a more rugged look around the antler.
-
Engraving: Coordinates of your favorite hunting spot, the date she said yes, initials, a quote, or anything else that fits. Inside or outside the band. Engraving costs $25, and engraved rings are final sale, so confirm the details before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All antler used in Manly Bands rings comes from naturally shed antlers. Deer and elk drop their antlers every year on their own as part of a normal seasonal cycle, and the shed antlers are collected from the ground. No animals are harmed in any way in the production of these rings.
On its own, antler is not particularly hard. That's why we pair it with structural metals like tungsten or titanium. The metal handles daily wear, and the antler inlay is protected under a clear sealant. With reasonable care, antler rings hold up well for years. The sealant resists moisture and minor scratches, but the ring is not indestructible. Treat it like a quality watch (off during heavy work, no chemicals, no prolonged soaking) and it will last.
Brief contact with water is fine. The clear sealant resists moisture, so hand washing, light rain, and a quick rinse will not hurt the ring. Avoid prolonged submersion, hot tubs, swimming pools (especially chlorinated ones), and ocean water. Long-term moisture exposure can eventually weaken the seal and dull the antler.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive polishes, all of which can damage the antler or the sealant. The metal portion of the ring can take more aggressive cleaning if needed, but be careful around the inlay.
Yes. Many of our antler designs work as unisex rings, and our sister brand Rosie Ray Jewelry offers antler-inspired designs built specifically for her. Matching antler ring sets for couples are a popular choice for outdoor-minded couples.
The metal base determines this. Tungsten cannot be resized once forged. Titanium can sometimes be resized within a half size depending on the design. Either way, our hassle-free exchange policy lets you swap your ring for a different size for $10 if it does not fit correctly. Use our ring sizer ($10) before ordering for the most accurate measurement.
