Arizona Trail Ring Band
Inspired by the incredible range of landscapes found along the Arizona Trail, this ring brings together some of the scenery that makes traveling through Arizona so special.
One of my favorite things about Arizona is how dramatically the landscape changes as you move through the state. Mountains give way to rugged canyons and cactus-filled desert, while the wide-open sky stretches above it all. I wanted this design to capture that feeling of moving through the landscape and watching the scenery change along the way.
Each element of the design was hand-drawn before being brought to life in metal through laser engraving. The landscape wraps around the entire band, with the sun and moon overhead representing long days and nights spent out on the trail.
After engraving, each ring is individually formed, hand-soldered, and hand-finished in my studio. Because every ring goes through this process one at a time, there will be slight variations from ring to ring—including where the landscape meets at the solder seam. These small differences are part of the handmade process and mean that no two Arizona Trail Rings will ever be exactly alike.
Kachina Peaks
The mountains rising above Flagstaff, surrounded by the forests and high-elevation landscape of northern Arizona.
Alamo Canyon
Rugged canyon walls and rocky terrain representing another side of Arizona's diverse landscape.
Desert Cacti
Saguaros and other desert plants that thrive along the warmer stretches of the trail and make the southern Arizona landscape so unmistakable.
Sun & Moon
A nod to long days beneath the Arizona sun and nights spent under the wide-open desert sky.
The Arizona Trail Ring is my little tribute to the incredible diversity of this state and the experience of traveling through it—from mountain peaks and forests to rugged canyons and cactus-covered desert.
