Moissanite and Recycled 14k White Gold Three-Stone Wedding or Engagement Ring, Made To Order

Description

It took a while for me to get up the nerve to try this design - I've been wanting to create a three-stone engagement ring for ages, and I finally did it! And it wasn't even as terribly hard as I feared it would be. :-)

A gorgeous 5.5mm moissanite (faceted both on the front and the back, like a diamond, for maximum sparkle) sits in a hand-fabricated 14k white gold setting, flanked by two 4mm moissanites, on a comfort-fit, 3mm wide 14k white gold band.

All of the metal used in this ring's construction is from recycled sources.

Please let me know what size you need when you place your order, and allow three weeks for fabrication of this custom-made piece. (I do have one in stock in a size 6 (US).)

I love to do custom work, and would be happy to customize this design to fit your needs - various fair trade natural or lab-created colored stones are available, either for all three stones, or combined with moissanite. I can also do this design in sterling silver, yellow gold, or rose gold.

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? :-)

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 am now using FedEx when shipping overseas; this is a more expensive but far safer option.

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 707-599-2951 if you would like to initiate a credit card payment outside of Paypal).
