About this solitaire ring (1 ring) design:
Each ring is one of a kind and will be lovingly hand-sculpted in wax, cast for all times in 14k gold. "Elowen" in Welsh is thought to be derived from the terms "el" meaning "bright, brilliant" and "oen" which means "fawn" which translates to bright fawn. I felt this is a perfect fairy name for this elegant 4-prong solitaire.
The original design (pictured) was carved for a custom client. We also made a matching custom band (not included with this listing...please email if you'd like a similar or different matching custom band). This design will allow for a flat (non-curved) matching band and features a low profile prong setting.

This listing is for a bespoke one of a kind pictured 14K gold ring with your chosen center loose gemstone and white diamond accents set into the band. 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: the pictured wedding band is not included with the purchase of this listing.
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.
