It really is a very pretty stone.  Most of the time, it's not clear enough or clean enough to facet, but the material we have is, and it looks great.. We think these are some of the best we've ever seen.

It is simple enough for everyday wear, yet pretty enough to wear out in the evening.

Please notice the thickness of the silver in this mounting.  These are substantial, without being weighty.  I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!  This is the way we make our jewelry. We don't skimp on metal, and our stones are always hand picked. 

This ring just looks great!
