A real twig is cast in solid recycled 14k gold to create the unique ring shank. Set atop the branch is a sparkling white pear-cut sapphire, prong-set in a basket setting. The sapphire weighs .9ct, measuring 7x5mm. The twig is 2mm wide and 3mm wide at the knots. The combination of the structured facets, delicate branch, and leaf-like quality of the stone give this ring a vintage feel. Sapphire is a durable and sparkling gemstone, making it a great alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring, or a special ring for any finger.

The final ring is polished gently to bring out the twig's natural texture. The interior is sanded and polished to a flat, smooth surface for comfortable wearability. Ring is available in your choice of recycled yellow or white gold. Please specify your color choice and US ring size in the Note to Seller box at checkout. Please allow 3 weeks for your ring to be made before it ships.

Ring comes to you in a handcrafted sustainable wood box and muslin pouch, ready for gift-giving or keeping. A plastic storage baggie, Care and Cleaning, and About the Artist card are all included.
