A lovely alternative to Diamond and ethically mined...
This 9mm x 7mm white topaz gemstone is both natural and conflict free.
The gold I use is 100% recycled to minimize the effects of mining
14k white gold alloyed with Palladium, which is the same family as Platinum. Palladium gives a lovely rich gray depth to the setting which is echoed in the stone.
Topaz is rated a 8 on the MOHS scale for hardness, behind diamond, Moissanite and Sapphire.
Side profile height of 6mm, the band is 1.6mm wide and 1.5mm tall in profile.
I'm happy to personalize this piece with other metals and gemstones, please do get in touch to discuss your handmade engagement ring.About my work:
I make all of my jewelry in my small workshop in Keene, New Hampshire. Handmade jewelry is my passion and this is a dream come true for me and I appreciate all of your support throughout the years.
Recycled Metals and Ethically Sourced Gemstones:
I only use recycled metals to minimize the effect of mining on the environment. I use ethically sourced conflict-free gemstones from all over the world.
Custom Work:
I can customize this piece in different metals or with a different gemstone. I would also be thrilled to work with you on a completely custom piece where we work together to create the piece you are envisioning. Please send me a message if you are interested.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
To eliminate the need to clean often simply rinse a ring every time you wash your hands and remove it during lotion application, returning it when your hands are dry.
Avoid cleaning with chemicals, including bleach, chlorine and jewelry dips. These can actually damage to metal and some soft gemstones. There are a number of ways to clean your gemstone and precious metal jewelry, the simplest and least expensive of which is using a hot water soak. Add a pinch of Oxyclean to a cup of hot (NOT boiling) water. Soak for 10 minutes, use a soft bristled toothbrush to remove any residual debris under the stone and in crevasses. Rinse
well and dry. I love Wrights Silver polish and stock it in our Online shop as an add on. Just rub with a cloth and sterling is given a beautiful clean shine. Ultrasonic cleaners use high frequency sound waves to loosen debris and work very nicely.
