•2 mm x 1.5 mm domed band
•Hammered, shiny, or brushed finish

The rings in the photos are sold, and are shown for inspiration. I have chosen a selection of my sawn diamond rings/stacking ring sets to give you an idea of the variety that can be utilized when designing and building these rings. The ring you are ordering in this listing will appear like the first five photos and video, with the 2 x 1.5 mm domed band. If you would like a style of band other than the domed milling shown in the first five phots, please get in touch for a cost estimate prior to ordering.

This listing is for one of the sawn diamonds shown in the final photo, set onto the gold ring of your choice. Stone #3 is sold, and is set into the ring in the first photos. To see this ring with its matching wedding band, look here:

These diamonds are known as sawn. The raw diamond crystal is bisected, leaving a smooth bottom. The top of the stone is left in its original, raw form. These diamonds are wonderful for bezel setting. If you wish to have your diamond prong set, please get in touch. Prong sets will need eight prongs to hold the diamond in place properly, and incur an extra cost. I recommend bezel setting as the ideal way to set these diamonds.

My current parcel of sawn diamonds are Australian- they were sourced from the famous Argyle Mine, which is now closed. They are certified conflict-free. They are in the 'fancy color' range, and include cognacs and yellows. Please note that the gorgeous Stone 1, in deep cognac, has a surface fissure on its one face. I have included a close-up of this fissure in the photos. This is not a structural weakness in the stone. If you would like to see further photos of this natural formation on the stone, please get in touch.
