TITANIUM, THE LIGHTER CHOICE
Titanium wood rings are great for those who love a lightweight life proof ring. You'll hardly notice that it's on you finger due to the weight. The resin over the wood inlay also ensures the wood will last a lifetime free from water and whatever abuse you throw at it.
FOCUS ON THE KOA, OF COURSE
It comes down to finding the most spectacular Koa wood, period...and we spend the time. Koa has lent itself to create everything that is wonderful about the Hawaiian Islands and its culture. From the first outrigger canoes and surfboards to ukulele's and warrior's weapons, Koa deserves its place as the cultural anchor of Hawaii. We personally select our Koa Wood from dead or dying trees from the Big Island of Hawaii...that's the fun part. Read the full Hawaiian Koa Wood Story →

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Titanium Koa Wood Ring?
Our lightweight Koa wood ring — a titanium body with a curly Hawaiian Koa wood inlay. Titanium is about 60% lighter than tungsten, so you'll barely notice it on your finger. Comfort-fit interior for all-day wear. Available in 6mm and 8mm widths.
What is titanium?
Titanium is one of the lightest metals used in jewelry — about 60% lighter than tungsten. You'll barely notice it on your finger. It's hypoallergenic, corrosion-proof, and about 4x harder than platinum. For those who don't love the weight of tungsten but still want a life-proof wood ring, titanium is the answer.
Is the ring waterproof?
Yes — fully waterproof for everyday wear. The Koa wood inlay is sealed within the ring which protects it against moisture. Safe for showering, swimming, dishes, and daily water exposure. For extended saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water afterward and dry.
What sizes do you offer?
US sizes 4.5 through 13, including half sizes. If you're between sizes, size up — Koa wood does not stretch. Free size exchanges on all rings. If you're new to ring sizing, visit any jeweler for a professional measurement.
What's the difference between Titanium and Tungsten Koa rings?
Both use the same curly Hawaiian Koa wood inlay and comfort-fit interior. Where they differ:
• Titanium — much lighter (60% lighter than tungsten), softer feel on the finger, 4x harder than platinum. Best for those who don't love the weight of a heavy ring.
• Tungsten — heavier, more substantial feel, 6x harder than titanium and essentially scratchproof. Best for those who want maximum durability and a solid presence.
Both carry our lifetime warranty.
Can I return the ring if the size doesn't fit?
Yes — free size exchanges on all rings. If your ring doesn't fit, contact us and we'll send a replacement in the correct size. The Koa wood inlay makes ring sizing a bit trickier than plain metal rings (Koa doesn't resize), so we designed the exchange process to be painless.
Is the Koa wood in the ring sustainably sourced?
Yes. All Pono Woodworks Koa comes from dead or dying trees on private land on the Big Island — no live-tree harvesting. Only curly-grade Koa (less than 1% of available Koa) is used. Sourcing this way supports Hawaiian forest health and provides income to ranchers who protect old-growth stands.
What makes Pono Koa Rings better than all the other wood rings available?
We started the tungsten Koa ring trend and still make the best. There's plenty of copy cats that don't use Hawaiian Koa wood (even here in Hawaii)…they usually use wood from Australia that looks similar. We can identify where our wood was harvested down to a couple hundred feet on the Big Island. We don't just use any Koa Wood, I waited 10 years for the current batch of curly Koa. The density of curl and depth of light shine just does not become available often.
LIFETIME WARRANTY TO MATCH YOUR LIFETIME LOVE
We stand behind all our creations and your ring is no different. Lifetime replacement should something go wrong... they're made to last like your relationship. We will also swap sizes with you free of charge until you get your perfect ring...because that's the way it should be.

Beautifully made ring. Good price. Timely delivery. Only note, per my measurements I ordered an 11, wish I would’ve gone slightly bigger.

Love it…ordering more for the kids to enjoy as well

Love the ring. Feels comfortable and looks great!

I love how the Koa wood glistens on this ring. I have other koa wood products and none have the glow this ring does in the light. Fit is right on for the size.

Many years ago I bought a Koa wedding band from another company while in Hawaii on vacation. It was 2.5 times more expensive than what I ordered from Pono (not including the vacation trip to Hawaii) and also 8mm wide and Tungsten. This Titanium ring is only 6mm and light as a feather. It looks great and the cost was really nice. Great company to do business with!

Love my original 8mm wide titanium koa wood ring. Most of the time 12.5mm is perfect fitment for comfort and snugness. In extreme cold conditions, maybe it risks sliding past knuckle, but this is rare in Southern California. What I did notice was in high humidity Maui & Florida my hands swell, so a 13mm would likely be the correct choice when traveling. Majority of last year this size was unavailable. Returned my 2 alternate wedding bands tungsten and gunmetal in exchange for a 13mm titanium band. Then proceeded to immediately lose it somewhere at work or home. Went online, saw the 13mm was available and for an amazing price ordered a spare for my misplaced spare. As luck would have it, the gods smiled upon me and I found my missing spare. It's ok because my wife and I like the 2nd spare better than the 1st......and god help me if I ever misplace the original.

How do I return the ring for 1/2 size smaller.
Aloha Michelle,
Thanks for the note. Not a problem on exchanging the size. If you go to the 'support' section on the website, it'll walk you through the process. Basically, we will send out a new one and a return label so you can re-use the packaging to send back the old. Hope that helps..

Poipu Beach in Kauai got my gold wedding ring. The Pono Woodworks Titanium and Koa ring is a great replacement. High quality. Great service. Highly recommend!
T
Gave this ring to my husband for his birthday and he loves it. The look of the koa and the fit. Wish you could integrate the abalone in the ring to match the cuff he had bought me. But we are both very happy and love your work! And would buy again..

Got my wife and I matching Koa wood rings for Christmas and they’re perfect! The size is spot on and the finish and wood looks great! My second Pono purchase (the first was a bracelet) and just like the first, these are wonderful!

Ordered 2 items, ring and pendant. The pieces are lovely. Unique and interesting. But I paid for 3 day shipping and it took 8 days to arrive. Missed the anniversary.

I think the word "lanakila" in Hawaiian means champion, hero, victor. That's what comes to mind at the mention of Pono Woodworks and its staff. The rings are absolutely gorgeous, lightweight, comfortable. and meaningful, thanks to the Koa wood. We can't stop admiring them, as in the sun they seem to change constantly. However, what impressed us the most, is Pono Woodworks' creativity and uniqueness. All the emails we received, which normally are standard and boring across all industries, have brought us laughter and smiles. Well done, Pono Woodworks, well done! You deserve the title of Lanakila.

I bought as a gift for my husband. It is beautiful. He just loves it. He started wearing it as a wedding ring cause its more comfortable. I also want to state what a wonderful experience I had working with this company. The ring I ordered originally was to tight I wrote to the company and he found a size 14 that he just happened to have and sent it out to me to see if it would fit better. It fits perfectly, it was a pleasure doing business with you Brett.
