SALE - Fair Trade Green Tourmaline, Recycled 14k Gold, and Recycled Sterling Silver Ring, size 8

Description

Marked down 50%!!! (Was $188.00)

An incredibly beautiful 3mm faceted California green tourmaline (faceted both on the front and the back, like a diamond, for maximum sparkle) sits in a 14k gold setting on a layered brushed 14k gold and lightly oxidized sterling silver band. This is a substantial ring (6mm wide and 2mm thick) that would work equally well for either a man or a woman.

The stone came from a mine right here in California. I purchased it directly from the people who mined it and cut it. All of the metal is from recycled sources. This is truly a piece you can feel good about wearing, knowing that its creation did not exploit workers or harm the environment (modern silver and gold mining is pretty destructive to the environment; I use almost all recycled metals in my work).

This is a size 8 (US) and is handmade by me. These wider bands may tend to feel a bit more snug than a narrow band; if you have any uncertainty about your size, you can stop in to a local jewelry shop and ask to be sized using their wide band sizers.

This is a versatile piece that can be enjoyed for any occasion, from everyday wear to an engagement ring. I can replicate this design using many other types of stones, including moissanite for a more traditional wedding look. (Price will vary, of course, if other stones are used.)

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).
