SOMETHING ABOUT ME Portugal · @PTthe13I’m a business owner from a tech company, a skateboarder and a photographer from Portugal.
I’ve always been into the whole tattoos and rings style, but only recently started to actually acquire them both.
This started as passion for the arts and making a statement with my art, which is photography.
The rings, as well as tattoos, for me carry a meaning.
All of them mark a special time in my life, either good or bad, but of significant change.
The ’13’ ring is my lucky number, and even though that I’m not superstitious, I got my first computer on a Friday the 13th.
A year later I got my first gaming console also on Friday the 13th. Both of them crucial for my adult life.
The computer is my whole business now and the gaming console was actually my first job (I was a pro online gamer).
The ‘EYE OF THE SKY’ ring is in honor of a business partner that passed away a few years ago.
He was double my age, and double my wisdom.
It’s in honor of one of the most important person of my life in terms of my business.
Finally the last one, the ‘SQUARE. black’ ring, is also in honor of a friend. Unfortunately he died February this year.
He was a very close friend, so the black color of the ring for me kinda represents that feeling.
This is my short story about each of my OUTLAWS. Amsterdam rings and what the meaning behind each one of them. What’s yours?

Knuckling The Quarantine · Member since 2020 · www.instagram.com/rowlmediaAs soon as our world went into lockdown, people started to think a lot more and they began to feast from their minds.
We all had the desire to go out, to enjoy life as we had before, but that was never the case, and the life we chose to live simply vanished.
Like animals in cages we only wanted to escape, find that door that would send us back to what we lived for: freedom But the only escape people found was within themselves. Revealing their inner selves as they truly were, beginning to become a rebel through the eyes of society because at the end of the day, whatmakes a rebel? Someone that differs from others? That is expressing his sheer will to conquer whatever comes in his way?
At the end of the day, aren't we all rebels?

The Captain and I Hamburg, Germany / Switzerland · @grunigsimonI found THE CAPTAIN. ring when I was located in my second homeland Hamburg, Germany. I love the feeling of life spirit in this city in the north: I wear it deep in my heart and as a jewel on my hand.
The jewelry of OUTLAWS. Amsterdam embodies exactly this lifestyle – the maritime spirit. Perhaps in my heart I’ll be a little sailor, or also a captain: my ring shows me the way, like a compass does…
The picture I’ve shared for this story was created at my home during a shooting on a rainy day on my kitchen table, in my first homeland, Switzerland). I took the pic while I was suffering from homesickness to my Rock’n’Roll life in Hamburg. This ring makes me feel at home.

Local Rapper Luxembourg (Berlin / Brussels) · @skibi.dejongI’m a Luxembourgish rapper who has been around Berlin and Brussels for the past years.
After loosing my previous rings in Amsterdam while recording a project I came to the attention of the edgy OUTLAWS. Amsterdam rings.
These are the rings matching with a weeklong unshaved beard and a manly cough.
I’m pleased to be an outlaw, you should too.
Outlaw,
You found the back room. Everyone on this page bought a piece of hardwear, wore it through something, and then wrote us why. Wedding bands that are not wedding bands. A paper boat for a mother. A ring bought in lockdown when nothing else made sense.
Read them. These are your people.
When you have one of your own, send it. It goes here, with your name on it, next to theirs. For good.
Cheers, Jack.

My wedding rings’ story The Netherlands · @insightbystephA few weeks ago my then girlfriend and I, got married. We live in The Netherlands, but wanted to do an American style wedding, which for us meant, among other things, vows. I bought a ring for different points in time that had big meaning for us, 7 rings in total, keeping 1 finger free for my actual wedding ring.
Here is our story:
When I met my, from now on to be called “wife”, my jaw fell to the floor, because of her beauty. So I bought the JAWBREAKER. for that moment. Nothing happened then, since she was in a serious relationship. Some years later, we met again and in the meantime, she had tattoos done of Ganesh, Blossom and an Ohm. All this was represented by your ring BLOSSUM OF GANESHA. Some time passed before we ended up together and since it seemed we would keep finding each other, I bought NORTH STAR, because I always came flying right back at her, overcoming obstacles and darkness. All like true a Dragon (that I am in Chinese horoscope), therefore I bought CLAW OF DRAGO.
One thing led to another and few years later, our son was born, bearing the Pisces zodiac sign, which happened to be the same as my wife’s! Therefore, of course, I bought CATCHING CARPS. Less then 2 years behind on our son, came our first daughter. Oh what a joy! Seemed like an easy choice to go for her Zodiac as a ring, but I never really liked scorpions… So I searched for the Chinese Zodiac, but that was even more unfortunate; a Rooster!? I ended up with here totem-animal in Native American culture (for which I have tremendous respect!) the Serpent. Therefore I bought SNAKE. And for the last finger I had left (excluding my wedding ring finger), I bought ST. MICHAELS. It was supposed to be for protecting our family, but turned out to be something completely different, so I just bought it because I loved it! And that my friends, is the true story of true love and of my wedding rings!
I changed VIP (very important person) to VIKing (very important king).
AllanHere I am wearing the DODO. 925 sterling silver and it’s the best of my ring collection.
AnasI wear my rings with great pride and they are essential in my rock ‘n roll styl-ish clothing and lifestyle.
AndreasSeeing the mountains everyday is something I’ll always remember and keep in my heart no matter where the road takes me.
CameronSo you could say that I am an outlaw rebel.

DODO. during COVID-19 · Member since 2020 · @anas.m.salamahI love rings in general, I’m always looking for those special ones.
By sudden I saw the OUTLAWS. Amsterdam page on Instagram.
I started to take a look at their unique collection: they are all amazing, blowing minds, but that DODO. one was mine for sure. Like love at first sight. I shared the product link with one of my closest friends asking her opinion, guess what: she loved it too!
She even decided to buy it for me as a gift.
The order was placed on the 5th of March. When suddenly the Corona virus (COVID-19) issue appeared and the borders between most countries were locked, I immediately felt down because I thought and feared the ring my friend ordered for me will never reach me… but guess what! Here I am wearing the DODO. 925 sterling silver and it’s the best of my ring collection.
Thank you OUTLAWS. Amsterdam, it’s my first ring and I’m sure it won’t be the last from your collection. #stayhome #besafe

ROCK ‘N ROLL · @andreasstjarndahl (private) / @officialfinlir (band name)I started to wear rings about 2 years ago, and now I just want to wear them everyday!
The quality is really great and they fit perfectly if you ask me.
I play guitar in a rock / grunge band as a hobby, and we have our first gig booked next summer.
I wear my rings with great pride and they are essential in my rock ‘n roll styl-ish clothing and lifestyle.
BLUE EYES. and SQUARE. black are up next for my collection, really cool rings! Peace.

WILD SIDE · @c_griff_16I’ve had many different experiences over the years and all of the best ones are out with friends and family out of the house. Just being able to enjoy time with them while enjoying the fresh air is something I’ll always cherish.
Living like an outlaw to me is getting away from all the technology of the world and experiencing what Mother Nature already offers us. Seeing the mountains everyday is something I’ll always remember and keep in my heart no matter where the road takes me.
Charles
Rebel Australia → The Netherlands · @charlesvanbovenGood day Outlaws, I am actually from Australia but live in The Netherlands. I have always been a rebel: tattoo’s, rings and earnings and motorbikes.
You know the drill. So you could say that I am an outlaw rebel.
I was born in the 50’s, when there was rock and roll. Up till today I still have this life style, so for all you outlaws or rebels, out you stand out to the crowd, always have love and peace.
Coralie
Thank you! · @coraliejade15One day I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw an advertisement for the company called OUTLAWS. Amsterdam, so I thought ‘Let’s have a look!’ and I saw this particular necklace that was perfect for my partner, my other half as he has some Danish heritage.
It was supposed to be a ‘cheer you up’ present as he’s been having a rough time lately.
I bought the necklace and he was over the moon when it was delivered!
He had no idea I’d do something like this for him.
He has been wearing the necklace everyday since it arrived. The quality for money is insane!

I wear my scars like the rings on a pimp. · @djnicoteneI was never a big ring wearing person besides my David Yurman ring that is now at the bottom of the ocean.
I decided, instead of buying a lame and overpriced David Yurman ring, to go for the OUTLAWS. Amsterdam ‘ON THE ROAD.’ ring as a replacement.
Love the look, style and craftsmanship of these classic gems and they don’t look douchy at all.
These are a great fit with my Han Cholo ring.
I am trying to figure out which four other rings will fill these fingers..

SENTIMENT OF A PAPER BOAT · @ukeshiremanAs a young kid growing up you always look forward to your birthday and Christmas. One thing i could always count on is the gift I received from my parents.
From as far back as I can remember, in my birthday and Christmas card there was money folded into a paper boat, origami style.
My Mum made a point of doing this for me and my brother, and we loved it!
Sadly, Mum passed away from cancer just over a year ago.
I have been looking for a ring for long time to commemorate her.
I happened to come across OUTLAWS. Amsterdam and there it was, a paper boat ring. It is stunning and I knew mum would have loved it.
I have bought 2, one for me and one for my bro who I intend on giving it him for his birthday next month and I can’t wait to see his reaction! Thanks guys for such a great ring!

The Pursuit · @seldengamer_oficialShit happens.
This summer I lost my dad due to a heart attack.
I was never very affective with him, but I loved him anyway.
Mom did too. After that, I realized some friends were actually not “so friendly”.
It’s usually said that death changes everything. It doesn’t.
It just makes you realize how things really are.
And somehow, I discovered the jewelry of OUTLAWS. Amsterdam helped me overcome some bad feelings. In some sort of weird way, it helps. Thank you all for listing to my story. You all rock!
Keanu
My life, my peace, my jewelry. · @keanu_justice_steinerI grew up in a difficult environment. My parents didn’t love each other, fought everyday which I couldn’t understand as a kid. When I got older and finally understood why, it made things way harder.
At the age of 14 I saw my father almost dying, right in front of my eyes. The only thing I could do was pray, which I did, and somehow my father survived. After that I became a believer.
Shortly after this horrifyng experience, I bought my first ring on a vacation in Italy. A ring with feather and a cross on it. Something special happend right after, since then I knew God exists. I always want to have a meaning behind my jewelry. Because, without it bores me within seconds and I would never wear it for a long time. A friend showed me your page one day and shortly after I bought my first ring: the FREE AS A BIRD. ring. My sister gifted me my second ring, the HAIL MARY.
The third one, NORTH STAR., is on his way.
Thank you for your special rings, many of them express my feelings, like I never could.
Kjell
Love (your) rings in my older days. · @kjell_lundellIt was my son who introduced me to wearing rings on my fingers.
Previously, I only wore my wedding ring and a gold ring I got from my wife on my 50th birthday. However, I have now increased the number with a “CROSS IT.” ordered from Outlaws Amsterdam and waiting for delivery for another ring from you, named ANCHOR.
If my interest in steel rings has grown at an increasing age, I do not know, but I like them. It may be due to my interest in motorcycle and motorcycle clubs even though I have never owned a motorcycle or belonged to any motorcycle club.
Anyway, I enjoy my rings even though my wife is less fond, haha. For now, sometimes it happens even that in some company I put some of the rings in my pocket to avoid looks and prejudices. Keep it going!

MINE Paris, France · @bast0neroWell hi, I’m Matt, a nearly 18 year old French student from Paris. I was born and raised there.
I discovered Outlaws Amsterdam thanks to the well known ‘cookies’, which understood that I was searching for cool rings.
And so I discovered the Instagram account and saw more and more of my friends wearing those beautiful rings.
Also on Thor Rosland (very cool guy, grow a beard like his is definitely on my to do list).
I am from a multicultural family (Italian, French, Korean, and some of my family still live aboard). The AROUND THE WORLD. ring was a way to represent this.
And also the fact that I’d like to travel a lot later, that’s also on my to do list.
The ST MICHAEL. ring was actually the first ring from Outlaws Amsterdam that I saw, and I fell I love right away with it so when I had the opportunity, I got it and I can’t wait to wear it!
That’s all I can say about me as “my story” is just beginning, thanks a lot and I can’t wait to buy you some other rings!
