- size 5.75 (can be resized from US ring sizes 3.75–7.75 (whole/half/quarter only)
- RESIZING INFO (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): complimentary in-house resizing up or down UP TO 2 whole sizes takes 10-14 business days to complete as it is not a fast process and takes several hours of careful work. Please include a note in the "notes" section at checkout before choosing payment selection and also send me an email: nicole [at] knotandsplice.com with the resizing request. Once a piece has been shipped out, resizing at a later date will incur a fee. If you'd like information on whether I can resize this ring up or down more than 2 sizes, please email me first to discuss: nicole [at] knotandsplice.com.
- 14K yellow gold (we use recycled milled metals)
- handmade claw 4-prong carved talon prong setting (the setting is backed with solid gold to further enhance the sapphire's colors and reflect more light which is the best way to set a rosecut gem). Talon prongs are always hand-carved in the final piece at setting and it further shows that the piece is handmade with skill. The talon prongs have a romantic feeling to them, clasping the stone tightly and elegantly, like a safe hug. There is an Edwardian vibe with both rose cuts (with rose cuts being one of the first faceted gems; first created over 500 years ago) and talon prongs (which are, in my option, an artful revival of skillful handmade work—which stands out in an industrial, mass-manufactured world today). This piece was lovingly made with great skill and intention.
- This ring will compliment wedding or stacking bands up to 1.5mm thick (and any width) that can snuggle nicely under the setting.
- Rectangular style band measures approx. 2mm (width) x 1.5mm (thickness)
- Details about the sapphire: This ethically-sourced custom-cut focal kite shaped rosecut Kashmir violet/pink (bicolor; the pink is a warm center flash like a heart beat...we're in love)
- Sapphire measures approx. 1.08 carats. It is 8.6mm x 6.8mm
- Other sapphire details: Sapphires have a mohs scale hardness of 9.0 which is very strong and perfectly for daily wear (diamonds have the highest mohs scale hardness of any gemstone which is a 10.0; therefore, sapphires make a great choice for alternative bridal, anniversary, and daily wear heirloom rings).
- hallmarked "14K" inside each ring and signed NJM (Nicole Jo Melton) on the inside of the ring band

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 in the mail.
