About Specimental:
•Handmade in Vancouver, Canada since 2008

•If you choose to work with me, you and your project receive as much attention and communication as you desire
•I am available for project consultations via phone, email, Zoom, or text messaging: you let me know what works best for you

This listing is for a custom two-ring set. The ring set is also available in 14k or 18k gold in rose, yellow, or white. It is shown in the photos in 14k yellow gold.
This ring set is built to stack together perfectly. If you prefer a single ring band, this can instead be built as one wider-band ring. The ring is composed of two conflict-free rough diamonds, and an SI 1 clarity white brilliant-cut diamond that is GIA certified. Your brilliant cut stone will be approximately .25 carat. Larger diamonds are available- please get in touch for the cost. I buy the diamonds from the dealer specifically for each project, so any request can be accommodated as far as cut, clarity, carat, and colour.
The rings are studded with five little brilliant cut aquamarine. I can use coordinating gemstones for your ring, or stones of your choice. Diamonds are also available, at an additional cost.
The cut diamond ring band is 2mm x 1.25mm.
The raw diamond ring band is 4mm x 1.25mm.

Please provide me with your true, non-adjusted-for-a-wider-band ring size. I will do the adjusting on my end, and your rings will be built to a size larger than true ring size. If you have any questions about ring sizing, please let me know.
The bands you see in this listing are birch bark textured. Other textures include....
high-shine
high-shine hammered
matte hammered
matte lustre
satin brushed
microhammered
pinbrushed
herringbone
...or most of the other textures you see in my shop.
It is also possible to make these rings with more granulation (little metal balls), less granulation, or no granulation.
The client for whom this ring set was made requested the centre granulation/metal ball to be made of 22k yellow gold. There are also two 22k yellow balls on the cut diamond ring. As well, this set has contrasting 14k white gold granulation.
Please let me know when ordering if you would like an accent like this in your ring, or would prefer your granulation to be all of the same colour gold.
