Wear Your Love Story with Thorum’s Unique Wedding Rings

In a world where traditional wedding rings lack a personal touch, Thorum offers a fresh alternative. Since 2012, the family-run business has forged unique, handcrafted rings made from unconventional materials. With a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and exceptional craftsmanship, Thorum creates affordably luxurious rings for modern couples who seek sentimental pieces that are destined to become treasured heirlooms.

A Family-Run Legacy of Love and Craftsmanship

Thorum's journey began as a love story of its own in 2012 when Caleb Martin, a stay-at-home dad unable to afford a traditional ring, crafted a wooden wedding ring for his wife, Stephanie Martin. Caleb and Stephanie have spent over a decade perfecting their craft while growing a business that remains true to its roots by offering high-quality, handcrafted rings that speak to the uniqueness of each customer.

While Thorum has grown in scale, the Martins have never strayed from their original purpose: to create jewelry that symbolizes a love story.

A Story in Every Ring

For Thorum, the process of crafting a ring is a meticulous art form. Each piece starts with sustainably-sourcing extraordinary materials – like meteorite and dinosaur bone – that are as meaningful as they are unique. Each material infuses Thorum’s rings with a sense of heritage and character.

Whiskey Barrel: A Toast to Tradition

Representing a love that has aged beautifully over time, Thorum’s Whiskey Barrel rings tell a story of warmth and character. Crafted from reclaimed wood that once aged fine whiskey, these rings bring a nostalgic richness, symbolizing a love that grows stronger and more refined with age. The wood’s deep caramel hues and natural grain patterns evoke a sense of heritage and timelessness.

The Terra: This design pairs the old with the new. Gorgeous rustic, old growth Jack Daniel's whiskey barrel is encased in hammered titanium.

Tungsten: Strength and Style, Combined

For a love that is as unbreakable as it is enduring, tungsten rings offer the perfect reflection. Known for its extreme strength and resistance to wear, tungsten stands the test of time and is ideal for couples who value resilience and durability in their commitment.

The Aloha: Hawaiian Koa is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful timbers in the world. Its grain runs from dark coffee heartwood, through bright golden tones. This design is paired with a brushed plumb black, beveled Tungsten carbide band.

Damascus: An Ancient Craft Revived

Damascus steel, with its ancient legacy of strength and beauty, is a powerful metaphor for love that is resilient and one-of-a-kind. Each Damascus ring is forged from layered steel, creating a distinctive, wavy pattern, making it the perfect symbol of a love that is uniquely yours and forged by history and devotion.

The Direwolf: This ring features 18k Rose Gold inlaid into tempered black, Damascus steel. A rustic and handsome design that is perfect for a unique wedding band, engagement band, or for any occurrence.

Titanium: Lightweight, Durable, and Elegant

Titanium’s lightweight elegance mirrors a love that feels effortless yet is built to last. Sleek, modern, and hypoallergenic, titanium rings are ideal for couples who appreciate understated beauty and practicality. Despite its light feel, titanium is incredibly durable, making it a reflection of the strength that quietly underpins lasting relationships.

The Norseman: Experience the unique blend of rugged charm and modern elegance with this handcrafted ring. The rich, aged whiskey barrel wood, infused with resin for durability, pairs beautifully with the sleek, hypoallergenic titanium.

Ironwood: Nature’s Toughest Timber

For nature lovers and adventurers, Thorum’s ironwood rings are a testament to the beauty and strength found in the natural world. As one of the toughest timbers in existence, ironwood stands for a love that is resilient, deeply rooted, and capable of weathering any storm.

The Hercules: The Ironwood, known for its strength and beauty, is paired with durable titanium in this handcrafted ring. Each piece features a rustic finish, water-resistant coating, and secure titanium inlays. The combination of materials and craftsmanship ensures a ring that is both visually stunning and incredibly durable.

THE TIMELESS STYLE OF MEN’S CUFFLINKS – A CLASSIC ACCESSORY FOR THE MODERN GENTLEMAN

As an accessory that spans formal occasions, business attire, and casual looks alike, cufflinks are a staple accessory in the realm of menswear. Historically, cufflinks – particularly those of the luxury variety – have been synonymous with wealth, power, and social status. Today, they’re a standard facet in men’s fashion. Along with their charm and functionality, cufflinks offer a timeless sense of style that modern gentlemen may use to suit their own individual tastes.

The History of Cufflinks

Like most accessories, the necessity of cufflinks predated their official arrival. Since shirts were originally considered to be undergarments, visible cuffs were seen as a faux pas. When trends shifted, however, men needed a way to fasten their cuffs. Men were using strings to tie their shirt cuffs around their wrists as far back as the 16^th century, but the first cufflinks are said to have emerged during King Louis XIV’s reign in France during the 17^th century. The early history of cufflinks revolves around the aristocracy and Europe’s most fashion-forward men, who wore a version that involved a pair of buttons fastened together by a small chain.

The Industrial Revolution marked a major turning point in the production of cufflinks, as there was enough demand and a sizeable workforce to start manufacturing cufflinks on a greater scale. During that time, women also wore cufflinks for practical reasons, as most shirts were made without buttons attached.

The mid-19^th century eventually gave rise to the modern style of cufflinks we see today made with silver, gold, or pearl buttons. Armenta cufflinks, available on cufflinks.com, echo a similar style using intricately designed buttons, polished stones, and statement gems. With a focus on storytelling, Armenta is known for blending vintage style with craftsmanship and a hint of modern edge.

By the 1900s, cufflinks were most closely associated with elegant men of style. While cufflinks now span a wide range of formal to casual styles, they still hold the same air of sophistication and refinement as they did back then.

Cufflink Types and Styles

When shopping for cufflinks, there’s several types to choose from, based on how they fasten and close. This includes bullet back, whale back, stud or button, chain link, and silk knot cufflinks.

“Most of our cufflinks fasten together using buttons, magnets, or clasps,” say the experts at cufflinks.com. “The specific type of cufflinks you’re wearing affect how you wear the cufflinks with your outfit. What makes cufflinks so special [is] the unique details, intricate design, and bold features which all lend to your own personal flair.”

Cufflink styles may also be anything from classic and conservative, to modern and whimsical – such as those designed by Deakin & Frances. While classic silver studs are perfect for a timeless look, those who are drawn to novelty styles may resonate more with how Deakin & Frances spans the gap between luxury and playfulness with cufflinks in the shape of cigars, sharks, owls, and race cars.

Finally, there are several materials to choose from when selecting a pair of cufflinks. Some of the most popular cufflink materials are gold, silver, platinum, and enamel, which are beautifully displayed in the collections by Fils Unique. From silver roses, to a pair of lions hand-painted with enamel, each pair of Fils Unique cufflinks is a work of art intended to be passed down through generations as an heirloom.

Best Cufflinks for Weddings

Cufflinks are most often worn during formal and semi-formal occasions, such as weddings and black-tie events. Although there’s no rule stating that men must wear cufflinks during these celebrations, they’re certainly standard fashion practice – not to mention, a simple way for modern gentlemen to add a touch of luxury to their wardrobes.

The best cufflinks for weddings are any pair that reflects the wearer’s personal style. Cufflinks are often gifted to grooms and groomsmen alike, and designers such as Jan Leslie and Jacob & Co are perfect options for the big day. Jan Leslie cufflinks add an artsy statement to an ensemble, and a pair of Jacob & Co cufflinks – especially one studded with white diamonds – makes for an extra special groom’s gift.

Personalization and Customization

A popular trend for cufflinks and other men’s accessories is personalizing them with initials, family crests, or other custom designs. Personalized cufflinks are especially fitting for groomsmen gifts, as well as anniversaries and any other special occasion. Customizable cufflinks can be personalized on cufflinks.com, along with other menswear accessories like money clips and tie bars, making for a stylish trio of bespoke classics.

Since their earliest days, cufflinks have been a cornerstone in men’s fashion. While styles have changed, they are still a relevant and much-loved accessory for special occasions and fashion-forward individuals – a chic, yet subtle way to refine one’s personal style and make a statement.

THE BOHO GROOM – YOLANCRIS REIMAGINES HAUTE COUTURE WITH THE 2024 GROOM COLLECTION

The Yolancris fashion house is a favorite amongst boho brides with a nomad-meets-haute-couture vibe. From short and spritely wedding dresses to full-length numbers made of vintage lace and daring cutouts, Yolancris has always contributed to head-turning fashion moments for brides around the world. Today, the brand has broken new ground with its first collection dedicated to the boho groom. Made with the same avant-garde approach and haute couture craftsmanship, the 2024 groom collection by Yolancris is an absolute gamechanger in the realm of menswear.

The boho groom embodies a unique and effortlessly chic style that combines elements of bohemian, rustic, and vintage aesthetics. Much like its boho bride counterpart, the boho groom is characterized by a relaxed and free-spirited approach to fashion, opting for unconventional choices like scarves instead of traditional bowties, or all-white ensembles with intentionally mismatched pieces. Flowing fabrics replace the stiffer tuxedo, and textures like lace and macrame are at the forefront of their wedding wardrobe, seamlessly blending elegance with the masculine.

Along with skinny scarves, accessories for the boho groom may include woven belts, beaded jewelry, and meaningful totems. Most importantly, they have a laid-back charm as they naturally embrace individuality and creativity for their wedding day.

The Yolancris 2024 Groom Collection

The key components of the Yolancris 2024 groom collection are individuality, expression, and haute couture tailoring.

“The collection offers grooms a platform to express their unique style,” says the team, “allowing them to stand out on their special day while harmonizing with their brides’ boho-inspired bridal attire. Each piece in the groom collection showcases Yolancris’ commitment to precision tailoring and quality craftsmanship, ensuring a perfect fit and unparalleled comfort.”

This is not menswear for the meek. Wide trousers are made of pleated chiffon. Details are made of beading and lace. Layers are made of delicate guipure. Ponchos make an appearance. Rather than simply debuting a new groom’s collection, Yolancris has created an entire boho groom revolution with the intent of celebrating diversity, creativity, and self-expression.

“We believe that every groom deserves to shine just as brightly as their brides,” the team states. Our bohemian chic style, characterized by flowing silhouettes, intricate lacework, and a sense of free-spirited elegance, has been meticulously adapted to suit the modern groom.”

Barberia Pisterzi was founded in 2015 in Milan by Gian Antonio Pisterzi – a graduate of the prestigious Steiner Academy in London. As an international Master Barber, Gian’s clientele includes luxury brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Acqua di Parma. In his own words, the Italian Master Barber walks us through the best skincare routine for grooms, and how to apply his Pisterzi Italian Grooming Art product line.

Clean and luminous skin, a well-groomed tailored haircut, and a beard trim are the basis for a perfect image on one of the most important days of your life. For this reason, I would recommend a daily routine using four of our products: Free Zone Mask and Scrub, Daily Cleanser and Sculpting Shaving, Face and Eye Guard Treatment and Solid Serum.

Let’s start with the Free Zone Mask and Scrub, a dual function face mask with a creamy and soft texture that deeply purifies the skin and hinders the proliferation of the bacterium that causes acne eliminates dead cells for a smoother, brighter, and purified skin. We recommend using it every day in the morning for only two minutes to remove all dead cells on the skin and prepare the skin for the shave, or every night to remove the daily pollution which has accumulated throughout the day. The Free Zone Mask and Scrub can be rinsed out using warm water. 

It is formulated with 93% of ingredients of natural origin and nickel-free in full respect of even the most sensitive skin, it is suitable for normal, combination and / or dry skin. Formulated with natural clay used for its absorbent and mattifying properties, it detoxifies problematic skin, helping to reduce sebum and soothing redness. Made with X-PRESSIN CTM, an advanced enzymatic exfoliating system based on Carica Papaya with a high degree of papain. It exerts a high exfoliating activity able to reduce the superficial layer of dead cells and sebum and to stimulate the correct cell renewal by refreshing the beauty of the skin and renewing its appearance (1% of this ingredient has proved to be exfoliating being more delicate than glycolic acid on the skin).

The Free Zone Mask and Scrub could also be used just two times a week, either in the morning or at night. Once applied on the face skin it should be rinsed out after five minutes. If applied for 5 minutes at night, we recommend also using the Solid Serum as a mask to leave on all night.

The Daily Cleanser and Sculpting Shaving is a cleansing gel for daily use on the whole face with a fresh and light texture, and a dual function. it can also be used for precision shaving thanks to its filming power and its transparent consistency that facilitates the visibility of the areas to be shaved.

It is a very delicate formulation that deeply cleanses and purifies thanks to the presence of Vitamin C, and at the same time leaves the skin perfectly hydrated thanks to the presence of Trealix®, an active ingredient consisting of a balanced combination of a natural disaccharide (Trehalose) and vegetable proteins. Its structure mimics the composition of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF). It also helps to increase skin turgor and promotes the recovery of dry, reddened, and sensitive skin. Resulting in having the pores less visible, and the skin is clean, fresh, and pleasantly scented. The use of the product for precision shaving is flavored by the presence of Red Alga Gel®, an active ingredient composed of red seaweed extract from the Pacific Ocean with emollient, moisturizing, and film-forming properties. Thanks to its high concentration in carrageenan, Red Alga Gel® it can form a protective layer on the skin and restore the skin's optimal physiological conditions.

The Face and Eye Guard Treatment is a daily face and eye treatment developed in a gel formulation with high sensory performance.  It is formulated with 97% of ingredients of natural origin and free of nickel in full respect of even the most sensitive skin.

This is an infallible ally that helps maintain the balance of the skin without altering it. It hydrates, soothes, and protects the eye contour thanks to the presence of Eyedren®, a compound of amino acids that preserves the hydration of the eye area and helps reduce dark circles. If used daily after cleansing, it also deeply hydrates thanks to the presence of sweet almond oil and Vitamin E. With this treatment, the skin will also be more toned and elastic, with a natural lifting effect thanks to Pea Protein®, an active ingredient based on enzymatically hydrolyzed pea proteins able to act in synergy and leading to a protective effect, restructuring and moisturizing the skin. Also, thanks to its ability to reduce transepidermal water loss, Pea Protein® acts on the tone and elasticity of the skin. Since the skin must also be protected from pollution, the formulation has been enriched with a special active called Leniphenol®, a specific blend of 3 balanced polyphenols derived from certified industrial wood bark. It is made from recycled raw wood to combat deforestation while respecting the rights of local communities. It is a complex of lignin (main compound of the cortex) with multifunctional properties for the skin. The mixture of these polyphenols is obtained with a "green extraction technique" with a low environmental impact.

It can also be applied after shaving, helping to reduce the effects of redness and irritation caused by the passage of the razor, thanks to Symrelief ® a synergistic mix of Bisabolol and Ginger that helps reduce these post-shave effects and prevents them effectively.

Last, but not least, the routine can be completed with Solid Serum, a coconut-based energy booster that provides intense nourishment, perfect as a pre-shave product or an overnight SOS mask in a pinch when a strong moisturizing action is required.

Formulated with the use of 96% natural ingredients and nickel-free, it is suitable for normal, combination and / or dry skin. Water-free formulation, based on coconut oil to preserve skin hydration, it is enriched with a blend of vitamins C and E that make the skin more luminous and with MC2 ®, an active ingredient consisting of a balanced composition of botanical extracts: Tetrahydropiperine derived from black pepper fruits, ginseng extract, and açai fruit extract. It stimulates energy, vitality, and cellular metabolism, maintaining skin tone and enhancing radiance.

For Grooms with Beards

If our groom has a medium or long beard, I recommend our Purifying and Conditioning Beard Spray, a fresh and rapidly absorbed spray formulation that gives the beard shine and a pleasant scent, perfect for a last-minute touch-up before the ceremony starts! Your loved one will say I do right away!

As a fresh and fast absorption spray formulation, the Purifying and Conditioning Beard Spray uses a non-alcoholic formula leaving beards with no residue after application. Formulated with 97% of ingredients of natural origin and nickel-free, the spray respects even the most sensitive of skins.  Practical and easy to carry around, the spray can be applied as a conditioner whenever you want by simply massaging the lengths of the beard, leaving it shinier and pleasantly scented.

Pollution and particles often make the air heavy and unhealthy for our bodies, including beards. The beard is another outer layer of the human body that defends us from external agents. It is therefore extremely important to protect it by using anti-pollution treatments that contain antioxidants to combat the action of free radicals. For this reason, we have developed this product that aims to keep the beard shiny and healthy, thanks to the presence of Bipure®, an active ingredient that protects against oxidative stress and prevents glycation and free radical damage.

TONSTRINA 367

If I were to suggest a fragrance for the big day, considering that most of the weddings happen in summertime, I would say TONSTRINA 367 our fresh and bitter citrus Parfum de Cologne that elegantly claims a modern and lively style. It is a welcoming, generous, joyful fragrance; an explosion of fleshy lemon, orange and bergamot peel combined with the delicate bitterness of Abruzzo gentian. The idea was to describe the sparkling and contrasted atmosphere of the Soho neighborhood in New York, where the barbershop (or atelier, as we prefer to call it) is located and to which the fragrance is dedicated.
