| This stone is a Medium color Smoky Quartz, mined in Brazil. I hand pick every one of my Smokies, looking for good color (I hate muddy looking stones), good clarity, and a medium darkness. I prefer light to be able to get in, bounce around a little, pop right out and zap you with color. If they get too dark, they just don't have "life". Of course, if YOU prefer a darker stone, I'll get one for you -- no extra cost. I know I'm not the last word on what's pretty -- you are!
The center stone weighs 1.5 carats, and is surrounded by a full 60 points of CZ's. (I can use diamonds if you want -- just select them at checkout) I want you to go back and look at the picture for a second. Notice the thickness of the prongs and the ring shank.
This is a quality ring -- no shortcuts, hollowed out band, thin prongs, etc. This is a nice ring, and it weighs in at 4+ grams of solid gold, which means it's a nice solid ring. |
