Clients in the USA: In the current situation around tariffs and de minimus exemptions, please make sure you are aware of any import fees and tariffs you might expect when importing jewellery from Canada. Etsy will collect and remit your state sales taxes for you, but please be aware of whatever the current American situation with tariffs/de minimis exemptions may be. I cannot be held responsible for these fees, which are levied onto the American importer by the American government. Many e-commerce websites are not going to be set up to calculate and collect these fees on behalf of American purchasers. These fees are the responsibility of the American purchaser, not the seller nor the e-commerce platform. Currently, it looks like the $800 de minimis exemption remains in place. Also, it looks like the additional tariff on Canadian goods like jewellery has not yet been levied. But, please ensure you are up to date, as trade situations are changing rapidly.

Shown here, the rings have an organic, textured bezel lip, which compliments the texture of the rough diamond. Please see this listing for smooth-lipped bezels: Please check my shop announcement for my current production time. Rush orders may be possible, but please get in touch with me prior to purchasing. These rings make for a unique take on the 'mother's ring', with a multitude of birthstones. They also make beautiful wedding or engagement rings- the ones you see here were used as a set. I can place the stones anywhere on your ring- either close together, or at a distance to allow you to use this as a stacker ring. Anything is possible, as I create the rings from start to finish in my studio. These rings are custom made from 2mm wide and 4mm wide 14k yellow gold. I have used a hand-hammered finish here, with a spun gold brushed finish overlay. You can also choose to have your ring made with a high-shine, matte lustre, or pinbrushed finish- see this listing for examples: http://www.etsy.com/listing/68221269/14k-gold-wedding-band-with-texture Embedded in solitaire is a raw, conflict-free diamond. I have a nice selection of these rough stones, which measure around 8-9mm- these are my size D stones. I can also use a stone from my smaller diamond parcel. Or, if you wish for a larger stone, please contact me for current prices. The diamond in the rings shown here is a silver one. White, translucent, black, silver, yellow, and dark silver are all available. Upon the multi-stone ring band, I have set two versions of the same stone- in this case, September's birthstone, the sapphire. Any combination of stones is available, but here are some of the pieces I have on hand in my studio, in both cut and rough form: 1. garnet (January) 2. amethyst (February) 3. aquamarine (March) 4. emerald (May) 5. pearl (June)- little pearls are around 3mm across and are white, many colours available for the larger pearl- see this listing: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65056716/pearl-nest-stacker-ring-choose-your 6. ruby (July)- calibrated stones are cabochons (round top, not faceted) 7. peridot (August) 8. sapphire (September)- blue on hand, yellow or pink available- please contact me for pricing 9. opal (October)- calibrated opal triplet cabochons 10. citrine (November) 11. turquoise (December)- calibrated stones are cabochons Also, on hand, I have.. white topaz blue topaz white moonstone (cabochons) My little calibrated stones are all within the 4-5mm range.

This is two business day (to most locations, but some restrictions apply) in the USA, and approximately 3-5 business days outside of Canada and the USA. It includes a tracking number. Please note- this method carries only $100 in insurance. As the rings are moving with a reputable courier and must be signed for on your end, they are very well-protected. However, on the very rare and outside chance that they should become lost or damaged in the mail, I cannot cover the cost unless you have chosen to upgrade to full insurance. If you wish to do so, please get in touch for an estimate on this insurance. BUYERS OUTSIDE OF CANADA AND THE USA- IMPORTANT: Please note that I am not able to estimate for you what your country will charge you in import fees when you purchase from me. Any import fees, tariffs, VATs, sales taxes, Customs brokerage fees, etc. are assessed by your government and the Customs broker who brokers your purchase through your country's border. These fees cannot be estimated nor collected by me/Etsy (unless you are in Canada or the USA), and are NOT included in the payment you make via this website. You must pay your own import fees as they cannot be estimated nor collected by me/Etsy. Please call your country's customs office if you would like an idea of fees that may be levied upon your purchase. These fees cannot be collected by me nor Etsy and are the SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER.
