This ring was made by R.W. Wise Goldsmiths. The stone is a 2.96 ct. Umba Sapphire/Ruby that is all natural not heated. The ring is hand made, not cast, from 18 kt. gold, with beautiful quality workmanship and finish. The ring was a gift from me to my wife.
This stone was sold to a client in California, who then sent it to Leon Mege in NYC to be set. The nicest Mozambique Paraiba type tourmaline I have seen, and had the pleasure to cut.
This stone is an Aquamarine that was custom cut for a customer Robin D. I'm not sure who the jeweler was on this one.
This next ring was made by Diane at Meltingpoint Jewelers in Buffalo, NY. This one is a two piece ring made with a few diamonds and then an assortment of some of my smaller sapphires and a ruby.
These next two stones were cut for a client, who then sent them to Leon Mege in NYC to work his magic on. The first stone is a purple sapphire from the Umba region in Tanzania. This is a natural untreated stone. The setting is platinum.
A red spinel from the Morogoro area in Tanzania looks stunning in the mounting by Leon.
Here's another spinel in a 3 stone ring custom made by George Murtha Jewelers in Buffalo, NY.
A very popular jeweler from Arizona, Julia Kay Taylor made these lovely rings. The ladies ring is a Spinel, and the mans a Malaya Garnet. If you are looking for bezels, Julia should be one to call.
This one is a really unique ring. A customer called me, and was looking for a stone that had the look of a snowflake. She wanted something pure white. I had a few pieces of colorless topaz, so I put together this stone. About 40% of the facets are frosted. This makes them really jump out at you. The setting was done by Brian Knox, of Knox Jewelers Minneapolis.
The following rings were made by Lisa Hunter Jewelry in Williamsville NY.
This first one is a pink tourmaline
A blue zircon
And a rubellite tourmaline
This one was sent in from a good Pricescope customer. Pricescope members are certainly the most knowledgeable customers I have, as this forum presents a wealth of information and opinions on everything to do with gems and jewelry.
The stone here is an Asscher cut Chrysoberyl, with a custom bezel setting by Whiteflash
Here’s a few photo’s of one of my Umbalite garnets purchased by another Pricescope member, and set by James Meyer. James does very nice hand work with a distinctive style. I have heard wonderful things about James from several of my customers.
A ring made with one of my Malaya garnets from Tanzania. This one was done by Brian Gavin Diamonds. The photo doesn't really show the stone too well, the color on the stone is fantastic. Notice how the high crown and checker cutting create a lot of dispersion.
Another creation by Brian Gavin, this time with a 5 sided tsavorite garnet. It seems that many people shy away from the less traditional cuts, cut look at the results when these stones are in the hands of a custom goldsmith! A beauitiful unique one of kind.
One of my Star Cut stones in a unique ring. This one was created by Images Jewelers.
