Braid & Outer Band Widths:

520V ~4.8mm - woven from 20 gauge metal strands for a total width of 4.8 millimeters. This makes a wonderful women’s ring. It is the perfect choice for those who love subtle, dainty rings and is a great choice for those who want a smaller ring. This braid is only offered with outer bands because we find it to be too small to wear as just a ring by itself.

518V ~5.8mm - woven from 18 gauge metal strands for a total width of 5.8 millimeters. We recommend this width to most couples, as it looks beautiful on most people, regardless of ring size. And if both of you choose this size, Todd can weave one long strand and make both rings out of it. This echoes the beautiful symbology of the couple’s lives being intertwined.

Natural Diamonds:

We want you to be confident in the diamonds you purchase from us, knowing that they are conflict-free and that they have not been mined in a way that has caused harm to people or the environment.

We source our diamonds from a variety of reputable suppliers who have been certified by the Kimberley Process. This process ensures that diamonds are not being used to finance conflict or human rights abuses. We also have a strict policy of not purchasing diamonds from countries that are known to be involved in conflict diamonds.

We believe that everyone has the right to choose diamonds that are conflict-free and ethically sourced. We are proud to offer a wide selection of diamonds that meet these standards. We hope that you will choose to purchase your diamonds from us, knowing that you are making a responsible choice.

Lab-Grown Diamonds:

Lab-grown diamonds are not fake diamonds. They are real diamonds that are created in a lab, rather than mined from the earth. They are created by starting with a rough crystal and then using either HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) or CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) to grow the diamond. Sometimes both methods are used.

One of the great things about lab-grown diamonds is that they are conflict-free. This means that they have not been mined in a way that has caused harm to people or the environment. Additionally, all lab-grown diamonds are VS quality or above, and F+ color. This means that they are very clear and have a high color grade.
