WEDDING RINGS

You’ve probably felt it before. You put something on and straight away you know. It either feels right, or it doesn’t. If it’s light, flimsy, or just not you, it ends up back in the drawer. You never reach for it again.
That’s why, for me, men’s jewellery has never been about chasing what’s new. It’s about that moment a piece feels solid, lasting, like it belongs on you. And that’s been our focus since day one at CRAFTD. Making pieces you actually want to live in.
Our process isn’t like most brands. There’s no big factory line or seasonal calendar dictating what we do. We don’t sit around a table, plan out four drops a year, and churn them out on schedule. For us, it’s way more relaxed than that. We follow ideas that feel right, test them until they’re perfect, and only release them when we know they’ll last.
Here’s how we do it:
I don’t believe you can put structure or deadlines on creativity. Some of my best ideas come to me in the middle of the night. Others happen on a trip, at a shoot, or even from a quick conversation with a stranger. An idea turns into a sketch, and if it feels right, we’ll run with it.
That’s why you’ll sometimes see us drop big collections, and other times just one or two pieces. We don’t design to fill a calendar. We design when inspiration strikes. It’s more fun that way, and it’s often how our best work happens.
A lot of it even comes from you. Some of our most popular chains and pendants have been the direct result of customer requests. You’ll ask for something specific, and it sparks something we know we need to make real.
Before anything goes live, we test it ourselves. We’ll wear it, style it, and push it through everyday life until we’re sure it’s right. Sometimes that takes ten samples. Other times, a hundred.
A lot of you asked about the Clover Bracelet or the Red Gentleman’s Club Caps that first showed up in our King’s campaign. Those pieces were around for over a year before they ever made it onto the site. That wasn’t by accident. We wore them, shot them, lived with them. And only when they felt good enough did they make it into your collection. If we’re still reaching for a piece six months later, that’s when we know it’s ready.
If a clasp doesn’t fasten the way we want, or a pendant doesn’t sit right on the chest, we’ll scrap it and start again. This is where most brands cut corners. We don’t. Because if it doesn’t feel perfect in our hands, it won’t feel perfect in yours.
We’ve always believed jewellery should be lived in, not left on a dresser. That belief shapes everything, especially the materials we use.
Every piece starts with a 316L stainless steel core. It’s actually the same kind of metal they use in aerospace and engineering. We use it because it doesn’t lose its shape or scratch, so we know it’s built to resist life’s knocks. From there, we finish it with real 18k gold and lock it in with a dual protective coating of rhodium.
Sounds pretty technical, but the point is simple: you can train in it, shower in it, swim in it, or travel the world with it, and it’ll still look brand new. Most jewellery can’t handle that kind of lifestyle. It fades, scratches, or breaks within weeks. That’s the difference when you put on a CRAFTD piece: you feel the weight, the strength, the quality.
Every single piece we make carries a small stamp: the CRAFTD mark. That mark isn’t just a logo. It’s our personal hallmark of quality. It only goes on once a design has been through the full process and we know it’s something we’re proud of.
If you see that mark, you know it’s been tested, refined, and CRAFTD to last. And that’s why every CRAFTD chain, pendant, or bracelet comes with a lifetime warranty. It’s not a marketing line. It’s our promise.
The difference between us and most men’s jewellery brands comes down to detail. We’ll spend six extra months refining a clasp if that’s what it takes. We’ll happily go through countless samples before settling on the one that feels right. And we’ll delay an entire collection if it isn’t perfect. Because jewellery shouldn’t just look good for a season. It should stay with you for life.
That’s why our community keeps coming back. Not for hype, not for trends, not for a quick fix. But because when you pick up a CRAFTD piece, you know exactly what’s gone into it, and you know it’ll still be with you years from now.
