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 design: Fraser means "of the forest people". This ring is one of a kind and was hand-sculpted painstakingly in wax and then cast immortal in 14K yellow gold. No mold was taken of it, and it is as of yet, one of my most favorite rings I've made.

The pictured rings are sold. We will make this design with your selected loose gemstone. For smaller gemstones, we will make sure the design doesn't over-empower the gem size.

Textured vines climb the sides of the ring in an organic cathedral shape. This ring is a song of protection, harmony and an ode to all that is naturally beautiful and serene.

The original design was first hand-carved in wax and then cast as a one of a kind piece directly into 14K gold. No mold was taken of this ring, so each ring will be hand-carved to order. Your setting will be carved to fit the stone you select. We can also make this design with rounded-prongs instead of the pictured talon prongs (the option to select prong shape is listed in the drop-down menus).

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).
