OK. Remember the Royal Wedding, and all the hullabaloo about the Engagement Ring that Charles gave Kate, that used to belong to his Mom, Diana? Well, when all that was going on, I noticed that had a ring that was almost an exact duplicate, and quite frankly, I ended up selling these by the double handful every single day for several months. I'm really glad things have settled down and are working out for them. I was going crazy making these rings, setting all those accent stones, etc.
Anyway, I've still got the mold, and we still make this ring from scratch. It's just as pretty now as it was then, maybe even prettier if you factor out the history (or the histrionics, maybe???)
And so, we thought we'd set this ring ring with something other than Blue Sapphire, and so here it is with a Green Amethyst. Oh, Wow! This one works!
Green Amethyst is one of the most interesting stones we carry. I'll be honest with you. It took me awhile to warm up to them, but once I wrapped my head around the idea, I really like them. I mean really -- Amethyst is PURPLE, yes? Well it turns out that are small pockets of light sage green quartz, also known as Prasiolite. There's simply not enough around to be marketable, but someone started monkeying around with regular Amethyst, and managed to turn it into this cool green color.
What's so cool about it is it's neutrality. It won't argue or fight with much of anything you wear. It's a complimentary color, which means it goes with anything, not trying to take center stage. It's just a nice addition to your collection, one that you can wear anytime you want with anything you want. And that's pretty hard to beat. Oh yeah -- they're pretty, too.
This is not a ring for the feint of heart. Frankly, you're going to have to have some attitude to pull this off. This is a large ring, with a gazillion tons of sparkle and flash. NOT an everyday ring, but when the occasion calls for it, then THIS IS THE RING!

BTW, Since we make this from scratch after you order it, we have a lot of flexibility. We can cast this in yellow, white or rose gold, and in any of 10k, 14k, or 18k. Obviously, these choices will affect the price, but email us and let us know what you're interested in, and we'll give you the best price we can live with. We enjoy a strong repeat business, and keep it by making good jewelry you'll want to wear at prices that we both can live with.
