Clients in the USA: In the current situation around tariffs and de minimus exemptions, please make sure you are aware of any import fees and tariffs you might expect when importing jewellery from Canada. Etsy will collect and remit your state sales taxes for you, but please be aware of whatever the current American situation with tariffs/de minimis exemptions may be. I cannot be held responsible for these fees, which are levied onto the American importer by the American government. Many e-commerce websites are not going to be set up to calculate and collect these fees on behalf of American purchasers. These fees are the responsibility of the American purchaser, not the seller nor the e-commerce platform.

•Band is hand-fabricated by me in my home studio
•Your choice of 14k or 18k yellow, rose, or white gold – the example photo is 14k white gold in my brushed finish

Want a different colour of sapphire or a different gemstone instead? Please get in touch for a cost estimate. You can contact me through this shop or email me directly at treloar [!at] telus.net
IMPORTANT: Please note that the size of the ring shown in the examples is 4.75, which is smaller than the average woman’s ring finger. Regardless of your ring size, you are purchasing 15 set sapphires in this listing. Depending on your ring size, these stones may go further or less than around the halfway mark of the ring.
If you want your sapphires halfway around the ring and your ring size is larger than around a size 5, there will be an additional cost for additional sapphires. Please get in touch to discuss this with me and to get an accurate cost of your project.
Want this done in a full eternity setting where the sapphires go all the way around the ring? Again, please get in touch for the cost of your specific project.
BUYERS OUTSIDE OF CANADA AND THE USA- IMPORTANT: Please note that I am not able to estimate for you what your country will charge you in import fees when you purchase from me. Any import fees, tariffs, VATs, sales taxes, Customs brokerage fees, etc. are assessed by your government and the Customs broker who brokers your purchase through your country’s border. These fees are NOT included in the payment you make via this website. You must pay your own import fees as they cannot be estimated nor collected by me/Etsy.
Please call your country's customs office if you would like an idea of fees that may be levied upon your purchase. These fees cannot be collected by me nor Etsy and are the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.

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.
