WHY THE SHOTGUN BARREL
The Shotgun has a long history in the outdoor world, as being one of the most iconic guns on the market. It has an extremely wide range of uses for hunting different species. The reliability in different terrains and climates, is also second to none. All of these attributes lends it to be the ultimate outdoorsmen's and hunter's weapon of choice.
Sourced & Made in the USA.
We source all of our Barrels from manufacturers here in the United States. We run each barrel through multiple processes to ensure they will not corrode or rust, in just about any climate. Each Band is cut directly from these Barrels and then manufactured here in our shop, by hand, into the wedding ring. It’s a tedious and long process, but we wanted to ensure that we kept manufacturing in house, so that we could control the quality of production from start to finish.
If you do not know your finger size already, it is almost impossible to go get it measured somewhere. If you would like us to send you a finger sizer free of charge, that can be used at home, please email hello@everydayoutdoors.com
THE BARREL BAND PROCESS
It took over 18 months and nearly two dozen prototypes to complete the design the Barrel Band. We tried different widths, thicknesses, finishes, and fits. It even took implementing a completely new procedure to size the rings and not compromise the integrity of the shotgun barrel. This procedure is something that has never been done before in the jewelry industry.
Each band is machine cut directly from the shotgun barrel to ensure quality and precision. The band is then cut again by the hands of experienced jewelers to the proper finger size. The 14kt gold insert is then added and a "tack-weld" is used to secure the insert in place. The band then goes through over 6 different polish stages before reaching its final state. Lastly, the ring goes through a thorough inspection to ensure the highest quality product possible.
THE RING BOX PROCESS
When deciding what type of packaging to use, we wanted to take the same approach as we did with the Barrel Band. High quality materials and production, and also manufactured in the United States.
