Six Nature-Inspired Wedding Bands and Engagement Rings for Outdoor Lovers

Featured: The Aloha

Nature lovers rejoice! If you’re on the hunt for a unique wedding ring or wedding ring set that’s inspired by the beauty of nature, you’re in the right place! Feel free to read this post in an outside voice, because this is for everybody whose preferred office space is a patio and whose overnight bag packs a tent. Some of these nature-inspired rings can be taken on your next adventure. Others just bring a little bit of the natural world back to the most unnaturally lit cubicle. But none of them are rings that require ripping up a ream of earth to produce a bit of sparkle, so you don’t have to worry about the negative environmental impact of natural diamonds. Instead, they feature conflict-free gemstones like moissanite that you can feel good about buying. So enjoy these six nature-inspired wedding bands and engagement rings for outdoor lovers.

The Woodland Path

Imagine a rustic escape. A wilderness adventure for two. These first few rings will be a reminder of the beautiful woodsy outdoors no matter who you are. 

1. The Woodsman

If you are browsing our wooden rings for men, you’ll notice that The Woodsman is a natural fit for the guy whose natural habitat is the forest. This kind of hand can grip the ax that fells timber and cradle the seedling that replaces it. Securely set in stainless steel and preserving the unique grain that reminds us it was once a living thing, this nature wedding band’s polished inlay presents a woodsy style that also feels at home in a high-rise cocktail bar. If you are searching for the ultimate outdoorsy men’s wedding band, you’ve found it! 

2. The Meadow

If the woodsman is going to propose, what better offering than The Meadow? For the fair damsel with a leaf-shaped hole in her heart, put together a picnic in some enchanted forest glade and get down on one knee with the kind of ring that’s straight from a fairy tale. Don’t be surprised if a songbird flits down to perch on the finger as you slip this leaf wedding ring on it. This ring’s handcrafted details are absolutely stunning. Pictures do not do them justice. The Meadow also works well as a standalone wedding band, but if you want to entwine it with a complementary piece, the wavy contours of The Mia are sure to thrive. 

A Cultivated Course

If your nature vibe is more about tending your plot of earth and enjoying its fruits, we’ve got an alternative pairing for you with these next few rings.

3. The Bourbon

Imagine a seasoned outdoorsman who’s looking forward to sipping something with the sweetheart who will warm his heart for the rest of his days. If you only have to look as far as your own back porch to find that fellow, you should sample The Bourbon. Its craftsmanship is a statement of stewardship — reusing wood that served as a whiskey barrel, aged to perfection.

Made from tungsten carbide, The Bourbon is also made to withstand the test of time. It feels as great as it looks, too, thanks to its comfort fit design. This wedding band is an awesome conversation starter and a jewelry piece you’ll love showing off. Just be sure to choose the right ring size because tungsten is impossible to resize. 

4. The Rose

Speaking of knowing when the moment is ripe, consider planting a halo-shaped engagement ring when you kneel down to propose. It’s hard to get fresher than The Rose when it comes to nature inspired wedding rings, but the full bloom of The Bliss in rose gold, yellow gold or silver is worth stopping to admire as well. Both are rich offerings on their own, but if you do pair up your pear, add a chevron-shaped band like The Zoey to the garden party. 

Stroll the Beach

You’re looking for a breezier, more relaxed vibe. We’ve got you covered with these rings.

5. The Aloha

If outdoors means the sun, surf and sand, say hello to The Aloha. Plenty of unmarried men have enjoyed upgrading their style with its laid-back elegance. But when it comes to the kind of commitment that remains steadfast through stormy weather and changing tides, this durable talisman is no beach bum. 

Move over, sterling silver and gold rings! This affordable wood wedding ring is made of black stainless steel and features a sandalwood inlay. It’s super lightweight, too, making it a comfortable alternative to rings made from heavier materials.

6. The Flex

Your wedding was a destination, but your life’s about the journey. If you want to go for a jog without having to worry about your jewelry or take a dip without having to secure a diamond, survey our silicone band selection. Savor the accommodating simplicity of The Flex as a full-time ring, but we won’t blame you if you said yes to The Ruby Halo as well. 

Silicone wedding bands like The Flex are great for people who work with their hands. Unlike solid gold and other metals, they’re safe to wear to work, the gym, etc. They’re super comfortable for daily wear, and they also work well if you want something less expensive than your “real” custom ring to wear on vacation.

Closing Thoughts

The quest to find nature-inspired wedding bands doesn’t have to be difficult. Say goodbye to the traditional diamond ring, and opt for an unusual leaf engagement ring or a wedding band featuring an inlay reminiscent of tree bark to show your love for nature. Consider fine jewelry featuring conflict-free diamond alternatives or birthstones to further show your love for Mother Earth.
