We finally have the men's Apple tree ring available for yal. A slice from a 200 year old tree, the inner part was hulled out and molded for the ring. There are a few sections of this branch so each is unique, they are thick, rustic with the most beautiful texture on them. Handcrafted here in the Sunshine Coast, Australia by myself with a 3-4 week turnaround.  

Apple 

In ancient mythology, the Apple Tree is one of the most sacred trees; symbolising good health and future happiness. Since ancient times it has been known as the ‘Tree of Love’ or 'Tree of the Gods'; in all historic traditions, it was said that apples held the wisdom of deep love, health and prosperity.  

An apple can be considered a universal metaphor for giving and receiving love, even from a physical point of view. The trees can live for hundreds of years, providing nourishment, abundance to those that tend to them, generating a love that lasts a lifetime. 

"The apple teaches the lesson of love and faith, generosity and gratitude. Love not just between man and woman but as the driving force behind our existence and the relationships that we share with others; faith both in ourselves and in others; and generosity and trust in the understanding that a heart that is open to give and receive is both the gateway to personal happiness and fulfilment." The Wisdom of Trees - Jane Gifford. 

The ring bands you have chosen were moulded and cast from a very special 200-year-old tree. They have been cut from the same branch, and I hope the beholders will weave a long life together full of joy and wonder.
