FAQs

Rings, first and foremost: Koa wood set in tungsten, with shell as a second inlay on some bands. Alongside them we keep a small line of island jewelry, pendants and earrings drawn from the same shoreline. The rings are the reason we started, and they stay the centre of it.

Koa is a hardwood with a distinctive, varied grain. We use Koa wood for the inlay. Grain and tone vary from piece to piece. That variation is part of the material, not a flaw.

Tungsten carbide is hard, keeps a polish, and holds up to daily wear. Our bands are comfort-fit. Tungsten cannot be resized like gold or silver, so a good first size (or a size exchange) matters.

Use our sizing guidance before you order. Tungsten is not resized by stretching or cutting the way soft metals are. If the fit is off, start a size exchange within 30 days under our return policy.

The Koa inlay is protected for everyday wear, including washing hands and normal water exposure. Avoid harsh chemicals, and follow any care notes on your product page. If something goes wrong over the life of the ring, see our lifetime warranty.

Wipe with a soft cloth. Avoid bleach, solvents, and abrasive cleaners on the inlay. Remove the ring for heavy impact work when you can. Tungsten is tough; the wood and resin still deserve ordinary care.

Yes, on rings. One lifetime replacement per original purchase for damage, loss, theft, or a ring that has reached the end of its wearable life. We’ll replace the same style when we still carry it, or any PELE ring of equal or lesser value. No refund of the difference. The replacement is not covered by a new lifetime warranty.
