Andalusite Stacker Ring (Genuine Natural Andalusite, Rare!), 3.1mm x 0.12 Carat, Round Cut, 14K Gold and Sterling deals Silver Stackable Ring
Here's another in my range* of handmade minimalist style stackers that combine a solid sterling silver band with a 14 karat yellow gold setting.
This one features a rare gem known as Andalusite, 3.1mm in diameter and weighing 0.12 carats. It was earth-mined in Andalusia (province) in southern Spain, and is 100% natural and untreated - a connoisseur stone, flawless internally and externally. Its hue is an earthy brown containing hints of olive green and a sprinkling of bright copper deals sparks. This 'camouflage' colour scheme isn't really as noticeable as seen in the second (macro) photo though. It's more something that you catch a glimpse of now and then as the gem catches the light (eg photo #3). For most of the time the andalusite simply displays its rich oak brown hue, alive with orangey copper sparks.
The 2mm diameter x 2 gram band is made from sterling silver. It's a round profile with a hand hammered, lightly oxidised faux woodgrain texture over its outer surface. The bezel holding the andalusite is solid 14 karat gold. It measures 3.7mm wide x 3mm high. This leaves the top surface of the gem sitting around 4mm above the top of the wearer's finger, making it a very 'low profile' design suitable for everyday wear.
Presentation for the ring includes a hinge-lid gift box lined with colour coordinated Japanese Unryu papers. Unryu is a handmade designer paper that contains strands of plant fiber for colour and contrast - very pretty. Dressing up my jewellery for display and gift-giving is one of my favourite parts of the Etsy process. If you'd like to see a photo of the style of presentation do please drop me a line and I'll be pleased to send you a photo!
