Margaret's Hug Ring
Margaret's Hug Ring by Margaret Collins
Margaret Collins (64) has been a goldsmith for over twenty years, first at her father's workbench, then in her own studio in Portland, Oregon. Margaret's Hug Ring is the piece she spent three years perfecting: two hands that grip, not just rest, with "always with you" engraved inside where only you know it's there. This is what remains of her final collection.
"I wanted the hands to grip, not just rest. That's the whole difference between a hug and a handshake."
What You Get
What Makes This Ring Different
Each finger is shaped with a gentle curve, as if the hands are actually pulling close, not flat, decorative hands that merely rest.
Built on a solid silver core, never a hollow shell. A piece meant to remind you of someone should feel substantial on your finger.
Hand-polished until the seam in the back is smooth against your skin, without a single edge to catch on fabric.
"Always With You" engraved on the inside of the band, a secret between the ring and the hand it sits on.
Shaped to fit the finger it's meant for, with no cutting or soldering needed.
Margaret closes her studio for good this year. There will be no more Hug Rings after this.
Margaret learned the craft from her own father, at the same workbench she still works at today. The Hug Ring was born one night three years ago, hours before her daughter Lisa left for Singapore, and has been refined through three years of trial and error. "I didn't want a ring that just looked like a hug. I wanted one that felt like a hug," she says. Now she's closing her studio. No successor has learned the craft, and she's never been willing to sell the design to a factory. What's left on the shelf is all that's left.
Margaret is clear about what sets a true hand-forged Hug Ring apart from most things sold under the same name today: many are machine-cast, hollow and cold against the skin, with hands that lie flat instead of gripping. The Hug Ring is hand-formed, with a solid core, a seamless finish, and an engraving no machine can inscribe with the same meaning. Margaret inspects every ring herself before it leaves her studio.
Perfect For
Quality in Every Detail
| ✓ | Hands That Grip: | Each finger is shaped with a gentle curve to mimic a true hug, not a flat handshake. |
| ✓ | Solid Weight: | Built on solid silver, never hollow or lightweight like factory versions. |
| ✓ | Seamless Finish: | Hand-polished so the seam in the back is soft against your skin, with no sharp edges. |
| ✓ | Hidden Inscription: | "Always With You" engraved on the inner band, visible only to the wearer. |
| ✓ | Adjustable Back: | Shaped to fit the exact finger the ring is meant for. |
30-Day Return Guarantee
Put it on. Feel the weight of real hand-forged metal. If for any reason you're not satisfied, send it back. Risk-free, no complicated terms.
Good to Know: This is the last of Margaret's final collection. She's closing her studio permanently this year, and no more Hug Rings will be forged after this. Because each ring is shaped and adjusted by hand, no two rings are ever exactly identical.

The Last Batch
Message from the barn:
After thirty-one winters counting bats in the Hickory Nut Gorge, Earl Pressley’s shoulder and eyes can no longer bore the entry true. He finished 74 houses this last winter — and no more after that. Each one is built from fallen black locust and white oak with the bark left on, an open-bottom entry, and a rough, grooved interior the bats can climb. When they are gone, there will be no next batch.
