Eco-conscious is how designer Gustav Reyes at Simply Wood Rings describes his wood jewelry. His website features an array of rings/wedding bands hewn from salvaged lumber of various types of wood (zebrawood, birchwood, teakwood etc). Pictured to the right is"The Turquoise" Bogwood Ring. The name of this ring refers to the waters of the Caribbean, which are shallow and take on the colors of sunlight. The dark wood is ancient Bog Oak which is a White Oak tree that has been preserved by being buried in the bogs of Europe. The Bog Oak came from logs that were found in Europe and have been carbon dated to 4500 to 5000 years old.
