This listing is for a custom two-ring set. The ring set is also available in 14k or 18k gold in rose, yellow, or white. It is shown in the photos in 14k yellow gold.
This ring set is built to stack together perfectly. If you prefer a single ring band, this can instead be built as one wider-band ring. The ring is composed of two conflict-free rough diamonds, and an SI 1 clarity white brilliant-cut diamond that is GIA certified. Your brilliant cut stone will be approximately .25 carat. Larger diamonds are available- please get in touch for the cost. I buy the diamonds from the dealer specifically for each project, so any request can be accommodated as far as cut, clarity, carat, and colour.
The rings are studded with five little brilliant cut aquamarine. I can use coordinating gemstones for your ring, or stones of your choice. Diamonds are also available, at an additional cost.
The cut diamond ring band is 2mm x 1.25mm.
The raw diamond ring band is 4mm x 1.25mm.

Please provide me with your true, non-adjusted-for-a-wider-band ring size. I will do the adjusting on my end, and your rings will be built to a size larger than true ring size. If you have any questions about ring sizing, please let me know.
The bands you see in this listing are birch bark textured. Other textures include....
high-shine
high-shine hammered
matte hammered
matte lustre
satin brushed
microhammered
pinbrushed
herringbone
...or most of the other textures you see in my shop.
It is also possible to make these rings with more granulation (little metal balls), less granulation, or no granulation.
The client for whom this ring set was made requested the centre granulation/metal ball to be made of 22k yellow gold. There are also two 22k yellow balls on the cut diamond ring. As well, this set has contrasting 14k white gold granulation.
Please let me know when ordering if you would like an accent like this in your ring, or would prefer your granulation to be all of the same colour gold.

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.
