All jewellery is handmade and shipped from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and therefore is exempt from tariffs for USA customers under CUSMA, the free-trade agreement. I always ship with a certificate of origin for customs.

*Caveat on using the term “recycled gold”:

While I am very careful to source my precious metals only from SCS® certified suppliers (SCS® stands for Supply Chain Sustainability; they are the global leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification). Most of my precious metals suppliers are also members of the Responsible Jewellery Council. However, I want to point out that ‘recycling gold' is not what is commonly understood by the term.

True recycling avoids things ending up in landfills. Gold, of course, wouldn’t.

Instead, gold is simply melted, refined and repurposed.

Although SCS® certified refineries must maintain auditable records of their suppliers, there are loopholes globally which make it very easy for gold from unregulated and/or illegal sources to enter their supply chain.

This makes even 'certified recycled' gold untraceable.

Celebration Ring No. 09 in 18k Yellow Gold with Red Sapphire, Size 8

$2,975.00

Celebration No. 09
Size 8

Sometimes I come across a gemstone which is so unusual, I can’t pass it up. So it is with this one. I thought those black slashes through the red sapphire were really really cool. They reminded me of the black ink of my calligraphy practice.

This sapphires comes from the Winza mine in central Tanzania, an area that was only discovered to carry corundum gemstones in 2007. The black slashes are ‘solid inclusions’, as another mineral (most likely amphibole crystals) would have become trapped inside the gemstone during its formation. It certainly gives this gem a very unique signature.

Did you know that rubies and sapphires are the same mineral – corundum.  A red corundum gemstone will, depending on the level of red, be defined as either a red sapphire, or a ruby. This one is a red sapphire. It has a faceted oval cut and weighs 1.03ct

On top of a 2.5mm comfort-fit band., this one-of-a-kind Celebration ring has, like my other rings, a full bezel, as opposed to claws, which can snag on clothing, must frequently be checked, and eventually be replaced/re-tipped.

What is being celebrated? Shall it be an engagement ring, a birthstone ring, part of family stackers, or a ring to celebrate a special milestone? Well that, my friend, is up to you!

PS: yes I can also customize a ring just for you.
