Moissanite, Chatham Sapphire, and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made to Order Moissanite, Chatham Sapphire, and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made to Order Moissanite, Chatham Sapphire, and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made to Order Moissanite, Chatham Sapphire, and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made to Order Moissanite, Chatham Sapphire, and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made to Order
A huge, sparkly 7mm moissanite (1.09 carats) sits in a hand-fabricated 14k white gold setting, flanked by two 4mm Chatham lab-created blue sapphires, on a comfort-fit, 2mm wide 14k white gold band. All of the metal used in this ring's construction is from recycled sources and has been given a matte finish. (I can also make this ring with a polished finish upon request.)

The underside of the bezels are notched to allow this ring to stack easily with a wedding band.

Please let me know what size you need when you place your order and allow three to four weeks for fabrication of your custom made ring.

I am also happy to make modifications to this design, including other types of metals (14k yellow, rose, or green gold, 14k palladium white gold, or 18k palladium white gold) and/or other gemstones. You can read more about these options on my website: http://www.mcfarlanddesigns.com

If you're not familiar with moissanite, allow me to blather on a bit regarding what I've learned 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? :-)

Also, a few words about lab-created stones...

Lab created stones (also referred to as man-made, synthetic, or cultured stones) are NOT fakes. They are chemically and optically identical to their mined counterparts, but by growing them in the lab, many of the environmental and humanitarian problems inherent with gemstone mining can be avoided. This particular stone was created by Chatham Gems, a leader in created gemstones. According to the company, "Chatham does not make gemstones, we make environments in which crystals grow naturally." In other words, these are real gemstones that are cultured in a laboratory - natural components are placed in an environment created to duplicate nature's. Once the required combination of chemical and environmental factors is created, the crystals grow over the course of a year, the length of time depending on the gemstone. As a result, quality diamonds and gemstones are developed with identical physical, chemical, and optical properties to those found in nature.

FedEx 2-Day shipping within the United States is included at no charge with this purchase. 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 adequate insurance through the US postal service for international packages, I am now using FedEx when shipping overseas; this is a more expensive ($60-$100) but far safer option. International buyers, please also be aware that you are responsible for any import duties/taxes imposed by your local customs office.

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).
