Description

Design

This lovely ring is a classic design with a unique gem in an everyday single stone ring, style # 175 of my online selection catalog. This cute solitaire focuses on simplicity and elegance. The gem is mounted in an exposed position within a solid, open-backed basket, mounted with four strong hand pulled wire prongs. The sturdy band is double tapered, both front and side for strength and elegance.

Gemstones

This is a flower carving of green Maw Sit Sit, a fairly rare gem material found only near the village of Mawsitsit in Burma. The color is a uniform green, all natural and no treatment. This unique gem is opaque and polished to a matte finish which could be oiled to make it shine more if one desired. It measures about 8.5 mm and weighs 1.38 carat.

Specifications

The weight of this well built, handcrafted ring is about 3.1 grams.

This hand crafted ring is a size 5 in the USA, inside diameter of 0.618 inches or 15.70mm, the inside circumference is 1.94 inches or 49.3mm, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand it is a size J½, in India, China and Japan it is a size 9, and in Switzerland it is a size 9.1.

Re-sizing or re-building to another size with the same gemstones is free!

Re-sizing one of our rings can often be done quite easily by hammering and re-polishing when only increasing by a size or so and there will be no noticeable delay in the shipping time. When we need to have the size decreased at all or increased by more than about one size then I have to ask you to be patient as it will need to re-enter the queue and will be ready for shipping in about 30 days. Right after you make the purchase be sure to message me about the new size before I have a chance to ship.

Thailand’s Gem Markets

Being a gemologist in Thailand makes providing you with the right gemstones a snap. Furthermore, the gem markets here are nothing short of amazing! We shop in four different gem districts across the country and the variety is world class. Additionally, a precision gem cutter is working for our operation. Of course, we also source fine gemstone rough with our worldwide network of contacts in the mining business.

Since I love to travel and shop for gemstones, I do act as a buyer’s guide to the gem markets for any visitor that would like assistance. Often I can meet you at a gem market or even pick you up at the airport to get our adventure started.

Custom cut gemstones

An essential part of our service is custom gemstone cutting. You may supply rough stones for us to have precision faceted or cabbed into the shapes that you desire. In addition, many gemstones that are already native cut will be improved in clarity and light return by a new precision cut.

Custom orders on gemstone cutting are normally ready in just two to three weeks. Message me with details of your gemstone requirements. I will provide the address along with special instructions on shipping stones to us.

Your gems or ours

Select gemstones from our site or send us yours for your own LEE jewelry piece. You may select the main stone plus the exact number of accent stones from right here. Please ask if you do not see exactly the gemstones you are looking for. In addition to our listed gemstones we have thousands more in stock that are ready yet are unlisted.

Please note that we are happy to work with your personal stones but do not have any insurance to protect them. Consequently, the stones will be at your risk only. When we use stones from our store for your custom order we back them for the purchase price. We do not guarantee or insure a stone that we did not sell. That said, it is not common that one breaks or is damaged in setting.

Metal choices

We are happy to make you a custom piece of jewelry with Sterling 925 silver or 18K yellow gold. You may also request that we use 999 silver or 965 yellow gold. Furthermore, you may decide on a combination of our metals such as a gold bezel in a silver ring.
