Athlete-Collaborative Wedding Ring Designs

Ring Bear and Austin Riley Join on a Line of Rings

Ring Bear is a modern men's wedding ring band and recently, it taps the help of MLB's Austin Riley to create a special line of wedding rings. This exciting project brings the jewelry expertise of Ring Bear together with Riley's style and his commitment to his family.

Austin Riley brings his passions to the table when creating the eight-ring collection. The designs incorporate details such as wood and deer antlers and some motifs that celebrate baseball. Additionally, the rings are made from gold, titanium, and tungsten with a special ring inspired by baseball with inlaid Ash Wood -- a material often used in baseball bats.

Schoenfeld notes, "We’re thrilled to collaborate with Austin Riley on this collection. Together, we have created a collection that celebrates both America’s pastime and the great outdoors, offering couples a meaningful way to symbolize their marriage." Riley adds, "I'm proud to team up with Ring Bear on this collection that reflects my love of family, baseball and being outdoors. These rings are lightweight, versatile, and allow me to switch them up based on the occasion."
