The son of a craftsman, Aaron Ruff has grown up with a strong sense of artistry and construction. Working as both a carpenter and cabinetmaker, he enrolled at Parsons to study furniture design. But after taking a class in jewelry making, Ruff soon discovered his true craft. While enjoying the familiarity and technique of creating furniture, he found a more intimate connection with constructing objects that people could actually wear and behold. This connection is distinct in each one of his well-crafted pieces.
Ruff now works out of his Brooklyn studio, creating jewelry inspired by everything from history and literature, to the design of nature and tools of necessity. Ruff also draws from his childhood fantasies of exploration, which lends a playful quality to his work.

Merchant response:Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry that you feel the etching on our Personalized Stump Necklace is too small. We include as much information as we can in our product descriptions so that our customers can make informed decisions. The dimensions of every product are included in the description. In addition, this item, like many others, has a "Life Size" viewing option that lets you see it as exactly the size it really is. Many people love the tiny, discreet etchings. The necklace has some weight to it, so a bigger version would probably be too heavy. We hope that the stump "grows" on you (ugh, even we can't stand that pun). Thanks for shopping with UncommonGoods.
