Fair ruby engagement ring

There are so many gorgeous coloured stone rings around this year, I've been really inspired!  I've got around to setting this lovely vibrant fair trade 0.2ct ruby from Ruby Fair, UK ethical gemstone supplier (find out more at: http://www.rubyfair.com/)  

Also my first time using recycled 14K gold tapered bezel setting - a great way to ensure rings sit beautifully together - great for stacking up.

The different ethical fair trade gemstones available in Glasswing Jewellery rings


Customers are always asking what gemstones I can get that are ethically sourced, so I have just updated my website to include a list and I thought I'd post it here too for information.

For more information about Glasswing ethical gemstone rings customers can visit my website.

I can now source more gemstones than ever from ethical suppliers here in the UK and abroad. More and more are becoming available as suppliers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to be socially and environmentally responsible in the the way they do business.


If customers would like to commission a ring, or other piece of jewellery and wish to incorporate a particular stone, there is a chance I will be able to source it for them.
 
So, below is a list of the stones available at the moment. If you don't see what you want, it is always worth dropping me a line through the contact page so I can see if it has become available.
