Please note: we do not sell the settings by themselves as they're created to order (custom) based on a loose gemstone chosen from the shop. To have a ring made, please select a loose gemstone from the shop and then a ring setting...this will equal the full cost of the ring that will be made especially for you by hand in our workshop.
*To capture a similar shape/look as the ring in the photos for the prong ring, we recommend a 0.50-1.5ct marquise stone for the center stone (please email us if you don't find what you're looking for here). An oval or pear will have a mimicked halo shape to the oval or pear center stone. Elongated symmetrical stones look best with this design.
*To capture a similar shape/look as the bezel version ring (pear shaped alexandrite), you may choose an 8x5 (1ct+) pear shaped stone.
Please note: we can special order many types of gemstones in a variety of shapes/sizes including: Certified lab-grown diamonds, natural diamonds, salt and pepper diamonds, natural sapphires (in a variety of colors; heated or unheated), lab-grown gems (emerald, ruby, alexandrite, sapphires in a variety of colors). We special order gemstones for approximately 90% of our custom/bespoke orders. Please contact us by email: nicole (at) knotandsplice.com or use the contact form.

About the Eira ring:
Eira is a one of a kind ring hand-carved sculpture made of 14k gold, grey or colorless diamonds, and your chosen center stone. Eira means "snow" in Welsh and has Scandanavian origins in the word Eir which means merciful. In Norse mythology, Eir was the goddess of health, who had the power to heal others. I named this ring Eira for from its inception, it has made me think of a fairy snow princess. With twig shaped scrolls cascading up each side of the ring, like the hidden forest floor climbing through the prose of wintry lore of olde.
"With every falling flake, a unique spark of interest falls from heaven." — Percy Miller
