Choose Your Component
1. Ring Holder Mold: 3" x 1-3/8"
Use this mold to shape and weave a Nantucket basket ring holder with a consistent, professional form. The 3" x 1-3/8" size suits a small woven ring basket. It works for both beginners and experienced weavers.
2. Ring Holder Cherry Base: 1.5" Round
This 1.5" round cherry base is the foundation of a traditional Nantucket basket. Cherry is a classic hardwood. It is known for its fine grain and for the warm, rich color it develops with age. The base gives your woven ring basket a sturdy, finished look.
3. Acrylic Ring Holder: 1-1/4"
This clear acrylic ring holder is made to fit into the Cherry Base. It holds a wedding band or engagement ring securely and shows it off. The clear acrylic keeps attention on the ring and does not compete with your weaving.
