Green sapphire, 14 ct recycled gold, recycled silver, reticulated It is difficult to photograph the beautiful green of this 2.4mm round, green sapphire. The sixth photo gives you the best idea of the subtle colour. The setting is 1.5 gramms of 14ct gold which I gradually brought to melting point and fused to the 2mm round silver band. The process cannot be repeated, making this ring an absolute one off original. A one of a kind engagement ring! European size 55, UK O 1/2, US 7 1/4 All my metal is from a company which is a member of the Responsible Jewelry Council. They deal only in recycled silver and gold. 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. The vast majority of my clients prefer their metals recycled, as environmental impact is of concern when choosing the perfect piece of jewelry.
