Description: When our brick-and-mortar store was in business, we were proud to be industry leaders in ethical and fair-trade issues. We demanded information on the origin of our diamonds years before most jewelers did. We signed on to the "no dirty gold" pledge and were well-ranked by Earthworks. And we were proud to carry fair-trade gems by Columbia Gem House for many years! Here is an understated, timeless ring by the Trigem Design division of Columbia Gem House, purveyor of fair-trade gemstones. So, you might wonder what exactly is a "fair-trade" gem? The concept is simple. Gems are mined with minimal impact to the environment. Miners and cutters of the gemstones earn living wages and work in safe conditions. And when possible, some of the proceeds of the sale of the gems are returned to do good for the areas where the gems are produced. For more information, visit fairtradegems dot com. This ring features a round, bezel set natural bluish green color tourmaline measuring 3 mm in diameter and with a manufacturer's stated weight of 0.11 carat. Columbia Gem House has branded their tourmalines of this hue and from specified locations in Africa and Afghanistan as Seafoam Tourmaline (R). This gem exhibits a medium light, grayish, bluish green color with good, eye-clean clarity and is of very good overall cut. This fair-trade gem is 100% genuine, natural, untreated, and unenhanced. The mounting has a hand-made designer look and feel in a linear, raised circles design that reflect the light and look like side diamonds at first glance. It is done in solid 14 karat white gold: style number 9830-592-1W. It is currently finger size 6.5 but is easily sizable by any competent jeweler. The ring weighs 2.2 grams and is 4.6 mm wide at the top (outside measurement of the bezel). This ring is solid gold and unworn; don't be duped into buying a cheap gold-plated ring or someone else's worn-out castoff! This ring was originally priced at $650 in our brick and mortar fine jewelry store that closed in 2020. We are offering the ring for a closeout, buy it now price of just $264.99, and we are including FREE insured priority shipping! We only have one piece of this description, so it is first come, first served. The ring includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Seafoam Tourmaline (R) informational leaflet from Columbia Gem House, as well as a card from Trigem Designs. We are including a nice little gift box as shown in the images that has a nifty integrated magnetic bow. We are also including a certificate of appraisal at full retail value to assist you in getting adequate insurance coverage. The photo here is redacted due to contractual reasons, but your original certificate will be fully signed by our Master Graduate Gemologist Appraiser. Please look over the information and images carefully. We are listing it with a return privilege in case something is not accurate in the description, but we really don't want it back since we are now retired and are selling it at a closeout price. Honestly...please don't ask to return it for some reason already clearly detailed or shown in this very complete listing! But be confident knowing we have had 100% positive feedback since joining eBay in 2004, and in the fact that our store stocked well-made, quality-inspected jewelry designed for problem-free wear. Thanks for looking!
