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!

This is a great design for a ring. Set with not four, not six, but 12 prongs! The effect is that of a bezel setting holding the stone in place. The sides of the ring are stylized with a twisted rope design making this ring a classy addition to your collection.

We've also started using a special alloy in our sterling silver that is tarnish resistant, so your ring will be beautiful AND hassle-free for a long time to come. Silver is extremely popular right now. Add in our Smoky Quartz and you'll have one HOT ring to show off.
