 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.

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 this exquisite custom hand-carved design:
[Eros and Aphrodite ring is a 14k gold ring (each made will be truly one of a kind and no mold is able to be made of this design due to all the textures, details, and layers). Each ring will be hand-sculpted with the vines of a tree and forest floor essence. Talon prongs clasp a gemstone of your choosing *the pictured ring features a 5.6ct stone...please email us if you'd like to source a larger diamond or sapphire and don't see one you love in the loose gemstones section).

On the pictured ring, pink sapphires adorn the branches that encircle its oceanic scrying nature. Based on the size of your center stone, the outer gemstones will be smaller/larger to emulate the proportions of the finished ring. For different smaller accent stones, please send an email request or fill out our custom form (preferred, as this helps us gather more information about your piece).

This is one of my favorite rings I’ve made. A special water mirror-like pool with the underworld of roots and leaves on each side (an ode to grounding in all things natural/spiritual). As I send my roots down into the earth…all the same, I immerse myself in the salt and sea. I am of the earth, I am in the sky, I am the fire that consumes, I am the water that replenishes. I am love, I am known.

Pisces is the Latin word for “fish” and in Greek mythology, this constellation represents the koi fish that saved Aphrodite and Eros from a sea monster. Pisces is a sign of creative imaginings, change, and adaptation, being a time between winter and spring. The pink sapphires in this ring represent Aphrodite. One story tells that Aphrodite (also Venus) and her son Eros (also Cupid) escaped by way of a fish, Pisces, in order to escape the monster Typhon. Although this ring was named for the chosen gemstones (in the original ring) and mythology, the same idea can apply to any combination of gemstones.]

For a completely different custom ring based on this idea (or with a bezel center stone, please contact us through our custom form here.

    Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
