These petite diamond rings are the perfect combination of svelte design and high-impact colour.
I hand-forge these rings from dainty 1.5mm wide gold wire. I make them in yellow and white gold. All of my gold is recycled. These are not gold-filled, but are solid 14k gold. These are perfect for stacking with each other, or with any of my other gold rings. Order them in a variety of gold colours for a set that really pops visually.
The diamond in this ring is a gorgeous, VS1 recycled brilliant cut stone. These little white diamonds are 2mm across, and are full of flash and fire. They are small, but pack a huge sparkle. In this listing, you can purchase the diamond ring alone. Some photos show the ring stacked with matching bands- please note that the lowest price in the listing is for just the single diamond band. You may purchase as many matching, plain bands to go with your diamond ring as you wish- the diamond ring is shown stacked with one, two, and six bands in different colours of gold. This ring is also available with a blue diamond, as seen in some of the photos- go here for blue diamonds: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/185836329/blue-diamond-on-thin-solid-recycled-14k?ref=shop_home_active_1
The rings in the photos have a hammered finish. My hammered rings are carefully and precisely textured, including the edges. I can also create these rings using any of these textures:
high shine
matte/satin
brushed
linear hammered
pinbrushed

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.
