Hand forged white and yellow gold diamond solitaire.

Beautiful 0.3ct recycled GIA certified diamond glinting in the autumn sun (when we had some last week!)

This simple solitaire with a lightly hammered finish has been a firm favourite with brides looking for an ethical, eco-conscious engagement ring this year.

A stunning stone, set in a closed, rubover recycled 14ct yellow gold bezel, on a recycled 14ct white gold hand forged shank.

It is available in a range of colour combos, like rose gold, all yellow gold, a mixture of white / yellow / rose and in 9, 14 or 18ct golds - all recycled, or if preferred, FAIRTRADE gold.

The diamond can be replaced with a coloured ethically sourced gemstone - details of the different gems I can source are on my website.

All hand forged Glasswing diamond rings are 100% conflict free - here's how

All hand forged Glasswing diamond engagement rings are conflict free - here's how:

I currently use 100% recycled diamonds, recovered from vintage jewellery. I work individually with each customer, sourcing recycled diamonds to suit their design specification and their budget. Soon I will also be offering ethical newly mined diamonds, from Canada, and other environmentally responsible origins.

All the certificated recycled diamonds I select are are analysed and re-graded by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and have ther own '4c's assessment' report, which is the customer's to keep. The GIA is considered to be the top gemological authority when it comes to authenticating and grading gemstones in the world.

You can't get a surer guarantee that your engagement ring is ethical, eco-friendly and conflict free. Not only that, I use recycled precious metals, simple tools and minimal mechanisation in my making processes.

If you'd like to find out about commissioning a ring, you can find out more on the Glasswing website.

More new and recent jewellery will be going live on the website ths month, and each time I make a new design, this becomes part of my range. So if you don't see exactly what you'd like, just drop me a line.
