Stunning Emerald and Recycled Sterling Silver Ring, size 6.5

Description

This gorgeous, modern ring showcases an amazing faceted emerald (5.5mm) set in a handmade tapered tube setting on a 5mm wide comfort-fit band. All of the metal used in the construction of this ring is sterling silver from recycled sources, and has been given a brushed finish.

Emerald is May's birthstone.

This ring is a size 6.5 (US) and is, of course, handmade by me. I can re-create this piece in any size you need; please convo me for details and allow three weeks for fabrication of custom sizes.

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.

As is all my jewelry, this piece is vegan, meaning no animal products (pearls, silk, leather, etc.) were used in its construction.
