An Unusual Gem... And A Custom Ring!

One of our customers asked us to find her a green gemstone that would be strong enough to withstand daily wear... but something a bit different than the traditional emerald. We found a beautiful, and unusually colored, olive green sapphire. We also made a custom 18 karat yellow gold ring to set it in.
