Deer Antler Comfort-Fit Rings
Enjoy the Beauty of Nature with a Handcrafted Antler Ring
Not only are deer antler rings highly sought after by hunting couples and outdoor lovers, they are enjoyed by people who have an elegant sense of style and prefer one-of-a-kind unique rings. The color and pattern variations of the antler are beautiful and limitless.
The beautiful handcrafted Antler and Ironwood ring with a hand-cut, inlaid sterling silver arrow, designed and handmade by artisans, will not be exactly duplicated. Even though the next ring to be made from the same naturally shed deer antler, it will have a different pattern and even possibly different glints of color.

The color and pattern variations of the antler are beautiful and limitless as both are very much influenced by the buck’s location, diet, age and genetics. Different coloration in antlers depends partly on the amount of oxidized blood on the antlers (from velvet shedding) and partly from a chemical reaction between the blood and juices from plants on which the antlers are rubbed. If a buck begins rubbing his antlers before the velvet and blood has completely dried, the blood stains the antler and gives it a darker color.
The predominant species of trees in an area also influences the color. Pines allegedly cause darker antlers, likely from bucks rubbing on exposed sap after they break the tree’s cambium layer. A buck’s genetics may also influence color. Some bucks are predisposed to having lighter or darker antlers, and to rub more or fewer trees.
A buck’s age can play a role as older bucks tend to rub more than the younger ones. Finally, the time of year can also influence color as antlers generally lighten over time due to the bleaching effect of moisture, sunlight and extreme winter conditions. All of these variables help assure you the custom antler ring you wear will have it’s own unique look. This is part of the bounty nature offers and we get to enjoy these gorgeous rings for years to come when the antlers are immortalized in these specially sized and designed rings.
