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...the two purchases (bespoke setting + loose gemstone (center stone)) will equal the full cost of the ring that will be made especially for you by hand in our workshop.
This listing includes the cost of one or two rings, depending on your selections (but does not include the cost of the center stone...please select from the shop or email us for a different center stone request).
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 ring design (single engagement ring or 2 rings):
Each ring is one of a kind and will be lovingly hand-sculpted in wax, cast for all times in 14k gold. It is very sculptural with intertwining vine-like tendrils that encompass a gemstone. Pictured are two Reverie rings we have made (one with a rosecut (pink) and one with a fully faceted oval cut (blue/periwinkle). The matching band (our Briony ring) was created to fit perfectly and sits underneath the sapphire ring setting (nested) with three tiny glistening inset diamonds. "Reverie" is a state of being lost in one's own dreams (daydreaming)...this is such for the heart's desire, that all the soul would light afire. Doubt thou the stars do are fire; Doubt thou the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. —William Shakespeare

This listing is for a bespoke one of a kind pictured 14K gold ring with your chosen center loose gemstone (and optional matching band with white diamond accents). This is a thick, well-made ring that is made to stand the test of time, but still looks beautifully feminine and organic. This handmade ring design is meant for daily wear and could be worn as an engagement ring or a right-hand ring.
This is a handmade bespoke ring that is completely one of a kind.
Please note: other matching band(s) do not come with but can be ordered separately—pricing differences are shown in drop-down menu for one ring or the set).
We will hand carve your ring with your chosen loose gemstone, and therefore, no two rings will ever be exactly the same. We will create with the same design in mind and intention, however placement and little variations in textures/widths will occur.
Please choose from loose gemstones in our shop and then add your setting to your cart. Your ring will be handmade from start to finish. If you have any questions about the process of selecting a gemstone or anything else, please email us.

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.
