This simple, timeless ring is made from 14k palladium white gold, an alloy that (like traditional 14k white gold) is comprised of 58.5% pure gold; however, 14k palladium white gold adds a bit of palladium - a precious metal akin to platinum - to the mix to give the alloy a brighter white color (traditional white gold can often have more of a yellow cast than some people prefer). All of the metal used in the construction of these rings is from recycled sources.
Please let me know what size you need when you place your order and be aware that these square cut rings have a slightly longer turnaround time than my round ones - plan for about a 4-5 week turnaround (I send the square ones out-of-house for the stone setting only, which adds a week or so to my usual time).
If you're planning to stack this ring with a wedding band - either now or in the future - let me know and I will construct the bezel slightly differently to allow a wedding band to sit flush against this band.
This ring can also be made in any other metal you like - regular 14k white gold, 14k yellow, rose, or green gold, or 18k palladium white gold - and/or with different sized stones. Prices will vary - please contact me for details.
If you're not familiar with moissanite, please read on to discover more about this amazing material...
Moissanite was originally born from a meteorite over 50,000 years ago, and was first discovered by Dr. Henri Moissan in 1893 in material collected from a meteor crater in Arizona. These incredibly brilliant sparkling crystals might have been considered "diamonds from space," but Dr. Moissan's research actually identified them as a new mineral find - silcon carbide, whose chemical composition is SiC (diamonds are made from carbon). This stunning jewel is extremely rare, and almost impossible to find in nature. So rare, in fact, that the dream of using it in jewelry was an impossibility until man discovered a way to create and craft these incredible silicon carbide crystals here on Earth.
With more fire than any popular gemstone (including diamond), no other stone or jewel compares to Moissanite. In fact, fire can be measured scientifically and moissanite has nearly 2.4 times the fire of diamond. Moissanite also has 10% more brilliance and luster than diamond. Proven to be harder than ruby, sapphire or emerald and second only to diamond, moissanite is also extraordinarily heat resistant, durable, and tough. It is extremely resistant to scratching, abrasion, breaking and chipping. And because these phenomenal stones are grown in a laboratory, you don't have to worry about the ethical problems involved with harvesting diamonds and other mined gems.
Pretty cool, huh? :-)
Due to the value of this piece, shipping costs have been adjusted to include insurance within the United States. I do offer international shipping; if you live outside the US, please contact me for a quote specific to your location. Due to the lack of availability of insurance through the US postal service for international packages, I use FedEx when shipping overseas; this is a more expensive but far safer option. International buyers, please be aware that you are solely responsible for any duties/taxes that your country may charge on imported goods.
As is all my jewelry, this piece is vegan, meaning no animal products (pearls, silk, leather, etc.) were used in its construction.
I accept PayPal, money orders, checks, and credit cards (please call me at 707-633-6340 if you would like to initiate a credit card payment outside of Paypal).
