**Here's the story:
All of the people I know...young, old and everything in between. First marriage, second marriage - fourth marriage. What to use for an engagement/wedding ring is a BIG question!

Here is what I tell everyone, including my children - both happily married now, I am relieved to say.

You can use anything you want for your engagement/wedding ring(s). I will hand carve something for you; use any stones you might want; or no stones at all. I can make something as unique as your relationship. Just let me know what you are thinking. I will do my very best to source from only ethical, reliable and conflict free vendors, as I always do.

It is your marriage - use what you really want and what you think suits you the best!

A diamond alternative is my suggestion for folks who want something brilliant with a lot of flash and no worries. I choose these Cubic Zirconia gemstones for the precision of their cutting and brilliance. Cut in Switzerland, these are the best CZ stones out there.

-100% guaranteed conflict free. No blood Diamonds involved. The silver avoids the issues that arise with some gold sources.
-You don't need to schedule your rings with your insurance agent in most cases. The cost should fall below their threshold of things that need to be scheduled.
-Travel without worry.
-No additional monthly payments to take into account.
-The flawless Cubic Zirconia gemstone is easy to care for: Wash with warm water, soapy water. Avoid harsh detergents. Safe for both ultrasonic and steam cleaning.

**Cubic Zirconia Facts:
Cubic Zirconia (CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2).  It should not be confused with zircon - a natural (also brilliant) gemstone, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO4).

The only other man made stone with more brilliance is Moissanite.

The idea of producing single-crystal cubic zirconia seems to have been born in the minds of scientists seeking a new and versatile material for use in lasers and other optical applications. CZ is also used in headphone technology!

I can make this set with Moissanite, which is more brilliant than either a CZ or an earth mined diamond. Moissanite is a bit more expensive than CZ, but less expensive than an earth mined diamond. Or I could use many different natural colored or colorless gemstones as well. 

**The Elephant in The Room:
Is a CZ a real gemstone?

Yes. It is a man made, grown in a lab gemstone as opposed to an earth mined gemstone. It is cut and polished in the same way as any other gemstone would be.

It is supposed to be the molecular equivalent of an earth mined diamond. The differences are minor and mostly in the refractive index, or so I have been told.  My husband (a scientist), my son (both a scientist and a lawyer), have somewhat of a different opinion about man made lab stones. They say that if the stones are molecular equivalents, the stones can legitimately be called "diamonds" or "sapphires" etc. and are therefore "real".

It is really up to you. Does the source matter to you? If you don't mind all the stuff that goes on with the mining of diamonds - buy a diamond. If you DO mind - buy a CZ or a Moissanite.

If you really want an earth mined diamond BUT don't want to contribute to all the misery involved with earth mined diamonds  - buy a CANADIAN MINED DIAMOND. I can arrange that for you.

**Silver Facts: 
Sterling silver is designated ".925" Genuine sterling silver will tarnish in time to a deep blue black color. If you want your silver to remain white and gleaming - it must be polished regularly.

I will include a tarnish resist tab and cleaning cloth with your order to help. The tab will not prevent tarnish from forming, but will slow it down quite a bit. It should last for 2 years and is safe for your ring.

**The Stats on this exact ring:
6mm diameter stone. 7mm across setting or a bit more than 1/4".
