Please note: The ring in the photos is sold. The pictures are used to show you what your ring will look like when completed. It is customizable- you choose your karat of gold, colour of gold, and band texture. The final photo shows the ring with the matching 'his' wedding ring. The 'his' band is not sold in this listing- this listing is for the multi-stone ring only.

This ring is the perfect engagement or anniversary piece for those of you looking for something completely environmentally sound. My gold comes from a 100-year-old smelter in America, and their smelting process adheres to the strictest environmental standards.

Is this a wedding piece? The matching 'hers' wedding band is available for $350 (14k) or $500 (18k). I construct these rings so they can easily sit flush beside most wedding bands you choose to stack them with.

The stones are Charles and Colvard moissanite- the gold standard of this environmentally-friend and ethical created stone. Moissanite is a created stone that is more refractive/fiery than diamond, and almost as hard ( 9.25 on Moh's Scale). It is both an ethical and durable choice for a lifelong ring. I use Charles and Colvard's Created moissanite in these rings. Their Forever Brilliant moissanite is even more fiery, and can be used in this design- please get in touch for a cost estimate.

The large stone is a 1ct brilliant-cut diamond, and the little ones are 2mm briliant cuts. All stones are bezel set, in textured bezels with high-shine lips. Bezels can also have brushed or high shine finishes. If you would like a larger, or smaller centre stone, or smaller side stones, please get in touch for a cost estimate. I can also create this design using diamonds- please contact me and we can discuss the cost.

The band on this ring is solid gold, in the karat and colour of your choosing. The band is hand-forged by me from 2.5 x 1.5mm half-round/domed profile gold ring wire. The band has been given a hammered brushed finish on this ring. Other textures include....

hammered high-shine
high-shine
matte/brushed lustre
pinbrushed
satin lustre
water hammered

Please see my shop for examples of these finishes, or ask me for clarification- I am always happy to help.

For easy of ordering, please choose your gold choice and ring size from the drop-down menus when ordering. Also, please copy-and-paste this information into the 'note to shop' box during checkout:

band texture:
bezel texture (hammered, matte, high-shine):
phone number for courier:
need-by date if applicable:

Please note that I never plate my white gold- I prefer the warmth of the metal in its original state to the bright white plating (rhodium, etc.) that you see most often in commercial jewelery pieces. The higher the carat of the white gold, the warmer the colour.

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.
