The rings in the photos are sold, and are shown as an example of these ring sets.
These two rings began as custom-milled strips of 14k rose gold. The thinner band is made from 2mm ring stock, and while the wider is 4mm. The width was slightly enlarged by hammering. I gave both bands a hammered and polished finish, including their edges. The interiors are polished to a high shine. The photos with the brighter background were taken in bright sunlight, while those with the gray backgrounds were taken in a lower, natural light. I have chosen to show these rings in a variety of lighting conditions to give you and idea of how the varying intensity and types of light can affect the appearance of the metal and the stones.
The engagement ring showcases a conflict-free, naturally-formed diamond cube. The diamond is a lovely cream colour, and has the most glittery microfaceted surface. I built a low bezel for the diamond, in order to maximize the beauty of its multiple faces. The diamonds I have available for this rings come in both cube and cluster formatioins. Each is conflict-free. The cubes that I currently have are black or cream. The clusters include white, pale silver, dark silver, warm orange, and cream. I also have two absolutely stunning raw pink diamond crystals- these stones are very rare and are at a premium, and will increase the cost of this ring set by $200-400.
The wedding band sports a pair of small stones of your choice. Here, I used a 4mm Rose de France faceted amethyst a raw zircon which I cut to form. The rings were carefully built in order to allow the diamond to nestle between the coloured stones. The rings can be turned around and worn with the stones pointing in either direction. Most stones can be put into these rings for the same cost as you see in this listing. If you would like the stones in the wedding ring to be diamonds or higher-grade gemstones, this is possible for an additional fee.
All of the bezels on these rings are built from 14k rose gold, and were given a hand-brushed finish. The edges of the bezels were cut with an engraver to create a bright line.
These rings can be built using a hammered finish, a matte lustre finish, a high-shine polish, or a hand-brushed finish. If you have seen another texture in my shop which intrigues you, it can probably be used on this set.
As this is a custom, made-to-order set, please see my shop announcment for my current production time. This timeframe reflects the amount of time I need to build your rings after we have made decisions such as stone choices and ring sizes.
SHIPPING- PLEASE READ: Is by the quickest method I can use to get your rings to you. This is two business day (to most locations, but some restrictions apply) in the USA, and approximately 3-5 business days outside of Canada and the USA. It includes a tracking number. Please note- this method carries only $100 in insurance. As the rings are moving with a reputable courier and must be signed for on your end, they are very well-protected. However, on the very rare and outside chance that they should become lost or damaged in the mail, I cannot cover the cost unless you have chosen to upgrade to full insurance. If you wish to do so, please get in touch for an estimate on this insurance.

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.
