Why Talking Is a Good Idea
Buying jewelry online is intimidating. We should know. We've been selling online for 17 years.
We've taken a totally different approach. A personal one.
Remember how experiences used to be intimate? Jewelry buying should be an intimate experience.
It isn't about having the largest selection, or selling the cheapest (i.e. low quality) jewelry. We’re not aiming to be the Amazon of jewelry. We are a family-owned jewelry store in Modesto (California) that is very picky about quality and design. That's been our calling card since 1989.
Beautiful jewelry should stir the soul. Before selecting a piece for display we ask, “How does this design make me feel?”
In a world of infinite choice, it’s nice to slow down and appreciate the work of master craftsmen.
Don’t use your credit card to buy this. Not yet.
It’s 5:40 AM in Modesto right now. Call us and see why we fell in love with this piece. One shouldn’t ever have to buy jewelry online without asking all your questions first. Oh, that’s right, that’s what makes us different from the thousands of online jewelry sites out there.
When you call you aren’t talking to an agent in a call center. Your talking to either Ron Yates, Ashton Yates-Woolley, Marissa Stewart, Mechelle Yates, or Justice Carillo at our Modesto store location.
Product Details
What a wonderfully unique design, with several elements that make this ring so striking. First, you notice the fascinating bypass design. This bypass design, with the negative space, gives you a big WOW look, without having to pay for larger gemstones to get a similar effect.
Next, check out the fascinating hexagon shape of the two halos. We love geometric shapes!
Now for the true stars .... the natural colored Montana sapphires. First of all they are also hexagon shape - which is really cool! One of them is a pastel blue-teal, and the other one is a minty green color. Oh my, just yummy. Each sapphire is about 5.3mm x 5.3mm diameter and is bezel set. The total weight of the sapphire gems is .76ctw.
Surrounding each sapphire is a hexagon shaped diamond halo. The sparklers add a bright frame around the colored sapphires.
You (or your sweetheart) will absolutely love this ring. It is a piece that you just can't look away from. You should add it to your collection.
Interesting facts about Montana sapphires: These come from the El Dorado Bar area in Montana. This area used to have gold mining activity, and these sapphires actually come from the old tailings that were discarded during the mining process, about 100 years ago. At that time, the rough sapphires were considered a nuisance because they clogged up the mining equipment. Because they have a high specific gravity like gold - they would clog the 'riffles' in the sluice boxes - taking up space that the miners thought should be filled with gold.
Because the sapphires weren't a deep blue color, there was not much jewelry demand for them. So they were just cast aside with the other rocks and whatnot that was in the aggregate.
Today, gold miners are reworking those old tailings left behind, with new more efficient mining equipment and processes. They are recovering tiny pieces of gold that couldn't be recovered previously. In the process, they are getting those sapphires that were causing problems 100 years earlier. But now, they are being cut and polished into the beautiful gems you see today!
