About These Earrings:

•Hand-built prong settings
•Solid 14 k yellow, rose, or white gold
•Faceted diamond slices
•Made to order
•Slices are 3.5 to 5 mm long (get in touch for exact dimensions if needed)

These are the perfect pair for the person who loves the ruggedness of rough diamonds, but also wants a sleek, high-end, custom-constructed set of earrings. Each pair of these earrings that I build is a unique set, as the diamonds are all individual in appearance.

Please be sure to hit 'zoom' in the lower right-hand corner of each photo- there is tons of detail in these stones that cannot be seen from the regular-sized photo.

I design these earrings around a nicely-matched set of rose cut diamond slices. The slices are captivating, translucent, and an organic free-form shape. They are very refractive and glittery. These have been hand-matched for me by my dealer- there are slight variations between each of the diamonds, but the sets are as nicely-matched for colour and shape as possible. Some of the coloured diamonds have gorgeous inclusions that add to their rustic appearance.

The diamonds are between 3.5mm (smallest yellow pair) and just over 5mm (largest cognac pair) and are certified conflict-free. These are one-of-a-kind pieces: for hygiene's sake, I am unable to shown them worn by a model. Please use a metric ruler to get a good idea of the scale of these earrings. A great way to get a visual on scale is to cut out a piece of paper in the same dimensions and shape as the diamonds, and to hold them to your ear- this is a much better way to gain perspective than seeing them worn by a model.

I hand-build the prong earrings in the photos from recycled gold. The prongs have been forged, filed, and sanded around the contours of the diamonds, and have an appearance that reminds me of little insect legs holding onto an object.

You may choose 14k rose, yellow, or white gold for these earrings.

If you do not see the diamonds you are interested it listed in the drop-down menu, they are sold out.

Please note: The original set of these earrings has sold; this listing is for a custom, made-to-order pair in the same design that you see in these photos. Please choose your diamonds, and your colour of gold, when you order. The available diamonds are in the final photo.

All of these diamond slices are available in 14k gold earrings, here:

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

I am always open to hearing your design ideas. Please contact me through the shop, or at treloar@telus.net to discuss design possibilities.

Sizing details

If you are unsure of your ring size, the best way to be sized accurately is by visiting two commercial jewelers. Please ensure they size you using their thin sizing tools- not the wide band sizing tools, nor by having you try on rings from their display.

If any questions arise around being properly sized, I am always happy to help- contact me through the shop, or at treloar@telus.net

Gift wrapping and packaging

I don’t provide a gift wrapping service. Rings and earrings ship in jewelry boxes that are hot foil stamped with the Specimental logo.

If the person for whom you are purchasing the piece shares your address, please be aware of the following: International export law dictates that the detailed contents of packages, and their value, be clearly marked on the outside of the package. This means that if they see the package before you do, they can easily tell what they are being gifted with.

Need secrecy for this delivery? The very best option is to have your package held for you at your closest Fed Ex store- if you are unsure of its location, I'm happy to help.

What about repairs and upkeep of your new jewelry- how does Specimental provide ongoing customer support?

Our hands are busy objects, and any ring worn on a finger can become accidentally damaged. All rings need regular maintenance. Make sure you are buying your raw diamond ring from a jeweler with the knowledge and experience needed to ensure your stone stays put. Ask them about their warranty and their repair/upkeep policy. Look at how frequently they work with raw diamonds, and assess whether they have the technical experience to create a ring that will last your lifetime.
I stand behind each piece of jewellery I make. If something goes wrong with your ring, at any time- you slam your finger in a drawer and crush the band, you break a prong, you smash and crack your stone- you can count on me to support you with the repair.

Recycled Gold

My gold is all recycled- the metal plant I purchase it from has been in business for over 100 years. They smelt their metals to the highest environmental standards, to cause the least impact on the environment. They do not deal with newly mined metals, as these metals cause much greater destruction to the environment.

There is no visible difference between recycled metals and newly-mined metals. There is also no difference as far as the karat of the metals go- 18k recycled gold is exactly the same in constitution as 18k newly mined gold. The vast majority of my clients prefer their metals recycled, as environmental impact is of concern when choosing the perfect piece of jewelry.

Can Specimental reuse my old stones and recycle my gold?

I can use your heirloom stones in a new design. The stones must be pulled from their settings and checked for stability by a professional jeweler prior to shipping them to me. I cannot recycle your gold. I am not set up to smelt gold in the studio, so am not able to melt down your old gold pieces for you.

Rush Orders

My current production times are listed in my shop announcement. If you need something more quickly, please get in touch via the shop, or at treloar@telus.net

Depending upon my work and family schedule, I am happy to accommodate your rush orders. There is no additional charge for a rush order. However, please do get in touch prior to ordering to discuss your deadline with me.

Can I order a ring with a different stone, wider band, different texture, or in a different colour/karat of gold?

Yes! All of my pieces are completely hand fabricated in the studio by me, from raw materials. I am able to create any of my designs with any stone, in any composition. In short, you can have your ring absolutely any way you like it. Contact me through the shop, or via treloar@telus.net to get the discussion around your perfect piece of jewelry started.

Why buy your raw diamond ring from Specimental?

A raw diamond is an exceptionally difficult stone to set properly. Their unique shape means that a custom setting needs to be fabricated for each and every stone. The way in which the setting is closed around the diamond must be approached in a very particular fashion.

I began setting these stones into my rings in 2009, when only a small handful of jewelers were working with this type of stone. As the appeal of raw diamonds has exploded, countless numbers of jewelers are now incorporating them into their designs. I have set thousands of raw diamonds into my pieces since then.
