Salt and Pepper Rose Cut Geometric Diamond in Recycled 14k 18k Gold Ring- Custom Made to Order Engagement Ring Handmade

The Ring:

•Original ring in the photos has been sold and is used to show you what these rings look like once I have completed them

•Handmade by me in my Vancouver, Canada, home studio in your ring size, using diamond of your choice with gold colour, karat, and finish of your choice

•Completely hand fabricated, which means every piece of the ring is mailed, cut, forged, and soldered, and finished by me by hand

•Made in your choice of 14k or 18k recycled white, yellow, or rose gold

•Made with your choice of hammered, brushed (as seen in the photos of the original ring), or smooth high shine finish

•Use the dropdown menu to choose your diamond and gold karat (14k or 18k)

•Want one of these diamonds sent in a narrow or wider band, or in a different style of ring? Want a matching wedding band to go with your diamond ring? Just reach out to me at treloar [!at] telus.net to discuss customization options. I build each of these rings by hand by myself, so any sort of ring style is possible.

•Don't know the ring size you need this in? Please reach out to me for help prior to purchase, or get sized by at least two local jewellers. If this ring is a surprise and you don't know the recipient's finger size, please ask me for help first. I will work with you to try to get the right ring size, although this is not a size estimate I can guarantee. I will build this to the size you request and am not responsible if you have guessed wrong. Considering shipping charges both ways and the resizing fee I charge, it is generally quicker, cheaper, and more accurate to have the ring sized locally by your neighbourhood jeweler. This jeweller can also get an accurate ring size from the recipient's finger.


The Diamonds:

I hand-selected each of these diamonds directly from the diamond cutter. I chose them for their unique colours, patterning, and shapes. I also chose them because, unlike many salt and pepper diamonds, these ones have no to very minimal surface inclusion/pitting (I cannot see any surface pitting in any of them). These were imported legally into Canada, and are verified as being both conflict, free and non-Russian in origin.

The close-up photos of the diamonds were taken by the diamond cutter, and are shot under bright artificial lightning. The video shows the diamonds in bright sunlight and filtered sunlight. If you require further photos or video, please let me know.


•P1: 0.55 carats, 7.6 x 4.1 mm dark speckled
•P2: 1.48 carats, 9.0 x 7.4 mm deep silvery black
•S1: 0.84 carats, 7.3 x 6.7 mm dark speckled with translucent zoning
•S2: 0.66 carats, 6.9 x 5.5 mm overall dark speckle
•K1: 0.76 carats, 8.1 x 6.2 mm mid-silver tone with shimmery dark speckles
•K2: 1.21 carats, 9.5 x 6.7 mm mid-silver grey with some pale speckling
•K3: 0.47 carats, 7.6 x 5.5 mm translucent body tone with striking black bloom-like inclusions


Please note that the ring in the photo has been sold. For reference, the original ring was built in a size 5, and had a shield cut diamond that was 0.75 carats, 7.7 x 5.8 mm. The client requested that the diamond and it’s basil setting as low to the finger as possible. It is also possible to build the diamond sits up a top of the band, providing space for a stacking ring to flush underneath of it. If you would like this option, please let me know in the ‘note to shop’ during checkout.

About rose cut diamonds:

•The history of rose cut stones dates back almost 600 years. This antique cut is thought to be named for the compass rose, or for the rose stained glass windows seen in churches. This cut consists of a flat bottom being given to the stone, and facets that rise up the surface of the stone to its peak or crest.

•Please be sure to check the dimensions of your chosen diamond on a metric ruler- the best way to get an idea of scale is to look at a ruler for the dimensions of the stone. Each of these diamonds is a different size, so your diamond may look larger than, smaller than, or similar in size to the original ring once your ring is built. If you need a good visual of scale, recreate the shape and size of the diamond in paper. Add approximately 1 mm to the length and the width, to represent the additional size added by the bezel setting. Place this paper cutout on your finger. This is by far the best way to get a customized visual. My hands are huge, so having me model a diamond on my finger likely won't give you an accurate idea of scale when compared to your own finger.


Finish/Texture on ring:

•Possible finishes/textures include high-shine, brushed (as seen on original ring), or hammered. Want a different finish? Contact me first to discus.

•The band is 2mm wide x 1.5mm thick. The bezel is hand-built by me and is customized to fit your chosen diamond. I leave the back of the bezel open to allow maximum light flow through the stone.
