The name comes from the Latin words *aqua marina*, meaning “water of the sea,” a fitting description for a gemstone whose colour often resembles calm ocean water. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family of minerals, the same group that includes emerald and morganite. Because of its clarity, durability, and soft blue colour, it has been used in jewellery for centuries. Aquamarine is also appreciated for its understated colour. Unlike darker blue gemstones, aquamarine has a light, airy tone that works beautifully in many styles of jewellery. This versatility is one reason it has remained popular for centuries and continues to be chosen for both modern and vintage inspired designs. Today, aquamarine remains a popular choice for March birthstone jewellery, especially rings, pendants, and earrings that highlight the stone’s clean, transparent beauty. ## What Is Aquamarine? Aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl, coloured blue by traces of iron within the crystal structure. Some key characteristics of aquamarine include: - **Colour:** pale blue to deeper blue-green - **Hardness:** 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale - **Clarity:** typically very clean with few visible inclusions - **Crystal structure:** hexagonal Because aquamarine is relatively hard and usually free of visible inclusions, it is well suited for many types of jewellery. The best types of jewellery for aquamarine are pendants and earrings. If you’d like an aquamarine ring, it’s often best worn as a special occasion ring rather than an everyday ring. One of the qualities gem cutters appreciate most about aquamarine is its clarity. Many aquamarine crystals form with very few internal inclusions, allowing cutters to produce larger stones that appear exceptionally transparent. This clarity is part of what gives aquamarine its crisp, watery appearance.

In ancient times, sailors believed aquamarine protected them during voyages. Some carried the gemstone as a talisman for safe travel across rough waters. Roman writers also described aquamarine as a stone that could calm waves and protect those at sea. Over time, aquamarine became associated with qualities such as: - calmness and clarity - harmony and balance - protection during travel - clear communication During the Middle Ages, aquamarine was sometimes believed to help settle disputes and encourage clear communication. Because of this association, the gemstone was occasionally used in decorative objects or jewellery intended to symbolize honesty and harmony. While these symbolic meanings vary across cultures, the gemstone’s cool blue colour has long been connected with tranquility and clear water. ## Where Aquamarine Is Found Aquamarine is mined in several parts of the world, with some regions producing particularly well-known material. Major sources include: - **Brazil** – historically the most famous source - **Pakistan** – known for large crystals from high-altitude mines - **Nigeria** - **Mozambique** - **Madagascar** Brazil has produced some of the largest aquamarine crystals ever discovered, sometimes weighing hundreds of kilograms before cutting. Aquamarine crystals form in pegmatite deposits, which are coarse-grained igneous rocks that can produce unusually large mineral crystals. Because of these geological conditions, aquamarine is sometimes found in very large crystals compared to many other gemstones. ## Aquamarine Colours and Quality The colour of aquamarine can vary from very light blue to deeper blue or slightly greenish blue. In general: - Paler stones often appear bright and very clear - Deeper blue stones tend to be more valuable - Many aquamarines on the market are heat treated to remove green tones and enhance the blue colour Aquamarine is also known for its excellent clarity. Unlike emerald, which often contains visible inclusions, aquamarine crystals frequently appear very clean even in larger sizes. Because of this clarity, gem cutters often use step cuts, emerald cuts, and oval cuts that emphasize the stone’s transparency and colour. Well cut aquamarines are valued for their brightness and even colour distribution. Because lighter stones can sometimes appear washed out, careful cutting helps concentrate the colour and maximize the gemstone’s sparkle. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/colours-of-aquamarine.png "colours of aquamarine - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ## Aquamarine in Jewellery Aquamarine’s combination of durability and clarity makes it a versatile gemstone for jewellery. Common pieces include: **Aquamarine rings** Often set in yellow or white gold, aquamarine rings can range from delicate solitaire styles to larger statement stones. Best as special occasion rings rather than everyday rings. **Aquamarine pendants** Because aquamarine crystals can be cut quite large, pendants are a popular way to showcase the stone’s colour. **Aquamarine earrings** Studs or drop earrings highlight the gemstone’s brightness and light blue tone. At our jewellery studio in Toronto, aquamarine is sometimes chosen not only as a March birthstone, but just because it’s so beautiful. Aquamarine also pairs beautifully with diamonds or other light coloured gemstones. The cool blue tone of aquamarine can create a soft contrast with the brilliance of diamonds, which is why it is sometimes used in anniversary jewellery as well.

Some reasons aquamarine jewellery works well as a birthday gift include: - it’s more meaningful because of the symbolism of aquamarine being the March birthstone - a precious piece of jewellery is something people have for a lifetime - classic pieces such as pendants or earrings can easily be worn everyday - it’s really pretty Because aquamarine crystals often grow quite large, it is also possible to find beautiful stones in larger sizes without the extreme cost of some other gemstones. For many people, birthstone jewellery carries a personal meaning that goes beyond the gemstone itself. Aquamarine jewellery given for a March birthday can become a keepsake that marks a moment in time or celebrates an important relationship. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Aquamarine ### What is the March birthstone?

Amethyst jewellery has been a popular choice due to its being the birthstone for February but also because of its striking colour. ## A Brief History of Amethyst Amethyst has been used since at least 3,000 BCE. Ancient Egyptians carved it into amulets and jewellery, while the Greeks and Romans believed it could prevent intoxication. In fact, the name “amethyst” comes from the Greek word *amethystos*, which means “not drunken.” During the Middle Ages, amethyst was associated with royalty and the church. Bishops often wore rings with amethyst, and European crowns included large amethyst stones. It symbolized piety, humility, and protection, as well as wealth. ## Symbolism Throughout history, amethyst has been thought to have protective and healing properties. People believed it could: - Calm the mind and help with focus - Protect against harm or negative energy - Encourage peace and balance While these beliefs are historical, many people today still value amethyst for its symbolism as a stone of clarity and calm. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ring-amethyst-mine-thunder-bay-736x500.jpg "ring amethyst mine thunder bay - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ring-amethyst-mine-thunder-bay-736x500.jpg) Raw amethyst from Thunder Bay cut into gemstones in this engagement ring. ## Where Amethyst Is Found Amethyst is mined in several countries, including: - **Brazil and Uruguay** – the largest sources today - **Zambia and other parts of Africa** – known for deep purple stones - **North America** – including Ontario, Canada, particularly Thunder Bay and southern Ontario - **United States** – Arizona and North Carolina ## Amethyst Variations and Alternatives Amethyst comes in different shades and related stones: - **Rose de France:** A very pale purple amethyst, often used when a lighter look is desired. - **Green amethyst (Prasiolite):** Technically not amethyst, prasiolite is green quartz created by heat-treating certain amethyst. It’s popular for its fresh, subtle green colour. - **Deep purple stones:** Classic amethyst with rich, dark purple colour remains the most sought-after for jewellery. These variations provide options for different tastes, colour preferences and budgets while still being part of the amethyst family or closely related quartz stones.

Synthetic amethyst also exists. Lab-grown amethyst has the same chemical composition as natural stones but is created in a controlled environment. It’s estimated that around 5–10% of amethyst on the market is synthetic, often sold at lower prices or for mass-produced jewellery. ## Amethyst Types and Treatments Table Type / NameColour RangeTreatment / NotesCommon Use in JewelleryClassic AmethystDeep to medium purpleUsually untreatedRings, necklaces, earringsRose de FranceVery pale purpleUsually untreatedDelicate rings, light-coloured settingsChevron AmethystPurple with white bandingUsually untreatedStatement rings, pendantsGreen Amethyst / PrasiolitePale to medium greenHeat-treated amethystRings, necklaces, braceletsSynthetic AmethystPurple (varies)Lab-created stoneLower-cost jewellery, mass-produced pieces **Notes:** - Heat treatment can sometimes deepen or lighten amethyst colour. - Irradiation is less common but may be used to enhance colour. - Most amethyst on the market is natural, with only a small percentage being synthetic (~5–10%). ## Interesting Facts About Amethyst - Amethyst is a variety of quartz. - Its purple colour comes from iron and natural radiation. - It is the birthstone for February. - With a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it is durable enough for everyday jewellery. - “Chevron amethyst” shows banded patterns that are especially striking. ## Famous Examples of Amethyst Some historical pieces of amethyst include: - The Delhi Purple Sapphire, actually an amethyst, once thought to protect rulers in India. - Large amethyst stones featured in Russian and European crowns.

And although the price of gold has being going up consistently over the past few years, the price keeps rocketing up! Naturally, this can raise questions when it comes time to choose wedding rings. But higher gold prices don’t mean fewer options. In fact, for many couples, they’ve opened the door to more thoughtful, flexible, and meaningful choices. Today’s wedding rings are less about following a single tradition and more about choosing what fits your lifestyle, values, and budget. Whether that means adjusting proportions, exploring different metals, or reworking existing jewellery, there are plenty of ways to design beautiful wedding rings without compromise. ## Why rising gold prices are changing wedding ring decisions Gold has long been the default choice for wedding rings, but as prices rise, couples are understandably becoming more intentional. Rather than automatically choosing a traditional gold band, many are asking better questions: - How will I wear this ring every day? - What matters more: colour, durability, or symbolism? - Can we design something meaningful without overspending? For couples in Toronto and across Canada, where cost-of-living conversations are very real, this shift toward intention makes sense. The good news is that custom design allows for flexibility, creativity, and control, even when gold prices are high. ## Smaller gold bands: classic or custom One of the simplest ways couples are navigating higher gold prices is by choosing smaller or “less wide” gold bands. A slimmer profile uses less material, but more importantly, you can still choose to go classic or custom. Smaller bands can still be customized to fit and compliment your engagement ring. This choice isn’t about “downgrading.” Many clients prefer a narrower band because: - It pairs beautifully with engagement rings - It feels lighter and more comfortable - It can satisfy an understated, minimalist aesthetic Many of the gents prefer a thinner band because they might not be used to wearing jewellery. With a thinner width and lighter weight smaller gold bands can be easier to adjust to everyday wear.

To know which karat of gold works best for your wedding rings you can consider the below points. **10k gold** contains less pure gold, making it: - Durable and resistant to wear - Slightly lighter in colour (in yellow gold) - More affordable **14k gold** offers: - A warmer, richer gold tone (in yellow gold) - Over 50% pure gold in the alloy Choosing 10k over 14k is not about cutting corners. It’s about making an informed decision based on your lifestyle, budget, and how the ring will be worn. For a plain band perhaps you would go for the 14k. Or perhaps you’d opt for 10k if you wanted to allocate some of the budget to a custom design or gemstones. For hands on jobs or active lifestyles, 10k gold can be an excellent and practical choice. ## Alternative metals: titanium and tungsten wedding rings Another growing area of interest is wedding ring alternatives to gold, particularly titanium and tungsten. These metals are chosen not as substitutes, but as intentional design choices. Titanium wedding rings are known for being: - Lightweight and comfortable - Extremely strong - Sleek and modern Tungsten wedding rings offer: - A substantial, bold feel - Exceptional scratch resistance - A darker, contemporary tone For couples looking for non-gold wedding rings that are durable and modern, these materials offer affordable wedding ring options with their own distinct character. A few notes on alternative metals. First, we are unable to custom make rings in alternative metals. Our studio is set up for precious metals and these alternative metals require entirely different tools and equipment. We also cannot set gemstones in alternative metals. Next, alternative metal rings usually have a minimum width of 5mm and are often not available in finger sizes smaller than 7.

Silver is a softer metal than gold, which means ring thickness matters. When choosing a sterling silver wedding ring, opting for a slightly thicker band helps ensure durability and longevity for everyday wear. This isn’t a drawback it’s simply a design consideration that allows the ring to age well. Tarnishing is another important factor to understand. Sterling silver does tarnish over time, but interestingly, rings worn daily tend to tarnish less than those left sitting in a jewellery box. Regular wear naturally polishes the surface, keeping the ring brighter with minimal maintenance. While the price of silver has also increased in recently, it’s not even close to being comparable to the cost of gold. For couples navigating rising gold prices, silver can offer a classic look at a much more accessible price point. As with any metal, the key is understanding its properties and designing accordingly. When done well, a sterling silver wedding ring can be both practical and deeply personal. ## Reusing yellow gold jewellery: meaning over market price One of the most meaningful ways to design around budget is by reusing existing yellow gold jewellery. Whether it’s an inherited piece or a ring with personal history, reworking gold allows couples to carry stories forward in a new form. Using family gold can: - Reduce material costs - Preserve sentimental value - Create a one-of-a-kind custom design This approach is especially powerful for couples who want their wedding rings to represent connection not just between each other, but across generations. It’s a reminder that the true value of a ring isn’t tied to current gold prices, but to the meaning. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuseslide5-800-275x270.jpg "reuseslide5-800 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuseslide5-800-275x270.jpg) ## Designing wedding rings around budget without sacrificing meaning You can still make meaningful wedding rings while making budget conscious choices despite the price of gold. By adjusting band width, karat, metal choice, or reusing materials you already own, couples can design rings that feel deeply personal and are beautifully made. For many Toronto couples, this approach aligns perfectly with a desire for sustainability, practicality, and long term wearability. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/INSTA-STORY-2024-61.png "INSTA STORY 2024 61 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ## More choice is the real luxury Rising gold prices may have changed the conversation around wedding rings, but they haven’t diminished what matters. If anything, they’ve encouraged couples to slow down, ask better questions, and choose rings that genuinely fit their lives. Whether you’re drawn to a slimmer gold band, deciding between 10k and 14k gold, exploring alternative metals, exploring silver options or reimagining inherited yellow gold, there are many options. Because the most meaningful wedding rings aren’t defined by market trends they’re defined by the meaning and the stories they carry. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Guides, Jewellery Education, Wedding **Tags:** budget, economy, gold, silver, titanium, tungsten --- ### [November Birthstones Topaz and Citrine](https://suzannecrudden.com/november-birthstones-topaz-and-citrine/) **Published:** October 27, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** #### **A Little Sunshine for November Birthdays** As the days get shorter here in Toronto and the grey November skies roll in, it’s nice to have something warm and golden to hold on to. And that’s exactly what November birthstones topaz and citrine bring. Topaz and citrine are both glowing, cheerful stones that seem to catch the light of autumn’s last sunshine. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, looking for a gift or just love these rich golden gems, November birthstones make beautiful jewellery. #### **Yellow Topaz: The Traditional November Birthstone** The traditional birthstone for November is yellow topaz, a gem known for its golden radiance and incredible clarity. Throughout history, topaz has been seen as a stone of warmth, strength, and good fortune. Ancient Egyptians even linked it to the sun god Ra, believing it carried the energy of the sun itself, perfect for brightening the darker days of late fall. Topaz is found in many parts of the world including Brazil, Russia, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and Pakistan. The most famous golden topaz comes from Brazil’s Minas Gerais region. This is also where the most coveted variety, Imperial Topaz, originates.

With its deep golden-orange or blush-pink tones, it seems to glow from within. The name dates back to 19th-century Russia, where it was reserved for the Czar’s family, hence “Imperial.” Today, natural Imperial Topaz is rare and sought-after, making it a beautiful choice for custom jewellery that feels truly one-of-a-kind.

These colours form naturally due to tiny trace elements and natural irradiation in the earth, though some are gently enhanced with heat to bring out their most vibrant hues. That means if yellow isn’t your colour, there’s a topaz for you, from cool London Blue Topaz to soft pink champagne tones. All of them can be lovely alternatives for November birthstone jewellery, especially if you aren’t a big fan of yellow. #### **Citrine: A Cheerful Alternative** The other birthstone for November is citrine, a gem that seems to hold sunshine inside it. Citrine is actually a variety of quartz, and its name comes from *citron*, the French word for lemon. Its warm yellow and amber tones are caused by traces of iron in the crystal. While natural citrine exists, most citrine you’ll find today is heat-treated amethyst or smoky quartz. The heat gives it that deep, golden colour that ranges from honey to amber to sunset orange. Citrine is found in Brazil, Spain, Madagascar, and Uruguay, and it’s known for being bright and budget-friendly. A lovely option for November birthstone gifts if you want something warm, sparkly, and meaningful.

They shine beautifully in rings, necklaces, earrings, and make thoughtful birthday gifts. Or even just a little self-care sparkle before winter sets in. If you’re looking for November birthstone jewellery in Toronto, we’d love to help you create something that captures your story. From a golden citrine pendant to a warm topaz pair of earrings that feels like a little bit of sunshine you can wear. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Birthstones, Guides, Jewellery Education **Tags:** birthstone jewellery, birthstone jewelry, birthstones, family jewellery, famly jewelry --- ### [Inexpensive Wedding Ring Ideas](https://suzannecrudden.com/exploring-atlantas-modern-homes/) **Published:** July 23, 2021 **Author:** codepxl **Content:** Can less expensive wedding rings still be made of quality materials and designer created? Yes! It can be pretty complicated to budget for your wedding, large or small. Especially since there seem to be more ‘must haves’ each year. So I thought I’d take this opportunity to talk about some inexpensive wedding ring ideas – all under $500! Your wedding bands can still be made of quality materials and designer made even if they are less expensive. #### 925 Sterling Silver Wedding Bands: $195-$500 Sterling silver is a great affordable wedding ring option. Typically wedding rings in silver range from $195 to $500 for plain bands without stones and depending on the design. As sterling silver is a soft metal it’s better to choose designs that can be made thicker so there is less chance of the ring becoming misshapen over time. By ‘thicker’ I’m referring to the metal thickness of the ring from the surface of your finger to the top surface of the ring, not necessarily the width. Due to the softness of the metal it’s also likely that your ring will receive more scratches and dings with daily wear. A good idea may be to select a wedding ring design that already has a pattern on it so the scratches are not so obvious. Also, you should be aware that sterling silver rings have the potential to tarnish or oxidize. Usually when a ring is worn everyday the natural oils in your fingers tend to keep the ring polished but, if there are any little nooks and crannies in your ring, you may expect tarnish to develop there. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/silver-wedding-rings-300x300.png "silver wedding rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/silver-wedding-rings.png) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wave-organic-drapery-like-baroque-rings-300x300.jpg "wave organic drapery like baroque rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/wave-organic-drapery-like-baroque-rings.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/waves-at-the-shore-and-tree-bark-rings-300x300.jpg "waves at the shore and tree bark rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/waves-at-the-shore-and-tree-bark-rings.jpg) #### Alternative Metal Rings: $195-$500 Alternative metals such as titanium, tungsten and stainless steel are great for inexpensive wedding ring ideas. The price point can’t be beat and they are extremely durable. On the down side they aren’t sizable due to their very specific and difficult working properties. Because of these very specific working properties I’m unable to custom make an alternative metal ring. My studio is set up for precious metals such as silver, gold and platinum. Alternative metals require an entirely different workshop set up. What I do instead is source alternative metal rings from suppliers for my clients. I can order certain designs in and if they aren’t quite right we can return them and try something else. Also, if you were ever to find yourself in the emergency room and needing to get your ring off in a hurry, you should know that they are extremely difficult to remove via cutting. So if you ever felt that your ring was getting tight on your finger, for any reason, you’d want to take it off before it becomes too difficult to remove. On the plus side if you ever needed to keep an elevator door open you probably could do it with your super ring!

Therefore the smaller the finger size and the smaller the width, the less expensive they are. These considerations tend to coincide with many ladies rings because they usually have a smaller finger size and prefer thinner bands. Often men’s wedding bands will be a bit wider which adds to the cost. If you’re trying to keep your costs to a minimum you may want to consider a men’s band that is 3mm wide or less. If you’re looking for a fairly simple design with a minimum amount of metal there are many styles of wedding bands in 10k gold with a price tag less than $500! There are many colour options available in 10k gold including: rose gold, white gold and yellow gold.

I’ve created many wedding bands and wedding ring sets by reusing old jewellery or heirloom gold. If you aren’t planning on incorporating gemstones and the design is fairly simple the cost will be around $500. Ideally you will want to have enough metal weight for the entire ring so that you do not need to add any new material. Take a look in your jewellery box and see if there are any broken chains, single earrings or older style pieces you aren’t wearing anymore. As long as they are yellow gold we can combine them together to create your ring. Here are some examples of wedding rings we’ve made for our clients by reusing their old jewellery.

They really are the most durable and workable metals out of all of the options. We say this not because we want you to spend more money, only because they really are the best suited to the purpose. Of all the investments that go into the big day, your wedding rings are the items that you will be taking away with you for a lifetime. That being said, there’s nothing to say you can’t go with an inexpensive option in the meantime and upgrade later for a special anniversary! Ultimately we think you should always try to focus on what is most important to you and your partner. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5bf74adfe49cff88192dbda71afd7c5e064f668b14893c828c5d0156e9e58f76?s=300&d=mm&r=g) codepxl [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/codepxl/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/codepxl/) **Categories:** Guides, Wedding **Tags:** Guide, News, Sofa --- ### [Moissanite Engagement Rings](https://suzannecrudden.com/moissanite-engagement-rings/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** Chances are you’ve already done your research on the stone if you’ve found yourself here. But I thought it would also be a good time to talk a bit about moissanite as well as it’s application in custom jewellery. More and more people are choosing moissanite engagement rings. #### What is Moissanite? Naturally occuring moissanite is silicon carbide first discovered by Henri Moissan in the late 19th century. It is an extremely rare mineral and only limited deposits have ever been found – mostly in association with meteors but also in kimberlite and as naturally ocurring inclusions in diamonds. Due to its rarity natural moissanite, ie: mined from the earth, is not widely available. Instead it was synthesized in a labratory and is now commercially available from Charles and Colvard. It has a number of applications but the most important to us here is as a beautiful gemstone in jewellery. #### Why Choose Moissanite for your Engagement Ring? The properties of moissanite make it a great choice for wedding and engagement rings or pieces that are worn every day. It is second only to diamond in hardness on the [Moh’s Scale of hardness](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohs_scale_of_mineral_hardness) and is actually more reflective than a diamond due to it’s higher refractive index. People love the brilliance and fire of this stone! [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones.jpg "diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones.jpg) As with any gemstone, there are certain considerations to keep in mind when choosing moissanite for your ring. In the past moissanite had a bit of a yellowish undertone but within the last five years or so the colour clarity has improved dramatically to a consistent white. This is when moissanite became a true diamond alternative. Another thing to consider is price point. You will certainly receive more carat weight for your budget with moissanite than you will with diamond. If you are person who likes the look of larger stones but not the cost then moissanite is definitely a great choice for you! And finally, I find one of the most important reasons a lot of my clients prefer moissanite is because they are an ethical choice. Since they are lab created and not mined from the earth there are less associated environmental and cultural impacts. #### Custom Moissanite Engagement Rings Why would you choose to create a custom moissanite engagement ring versus purchasing one already made? The main reason is that the design you have in mind isn’t available in the stone choices that you want. Or perhaps you really want to flex your creative muscles and you make something truly unique. Whatever the case I’ve been helping my clients create their custom moissanite engagement rings in Toronto for years. Way before it became trendy. In the years since a lot of companies have sprung up to take advantage of the popularity of moissanite. If I can toot my own here for a moment, I think it’s really important to select a designer that cares about you and your ring and not just the bottom line. I specialize in designing custom rings for my clients, listening to what they want and developing our relationship so that it is truly a collaborative experience. #### Here's a small sampling of some custom moissanite engagement rings I've made with my clients: [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/six-prong-solitaire-knife-edge-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "six prong solitaire knife edge ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/six-prong-solitaire-knife-edge-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/compass-set-rose-gold-soliatire-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "compass set rose gold soliatire engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/compass-set-rose-gold-soliatire-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-carat-oval-solitaire-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "3 carat oval solitaire engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-carat-oval-solitaire-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pear-shaped-white-gold-hidden-halo-accented-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "pear shaped white gold hidden halo accented engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pear-shaped-white-gold-hidden-halo-accented-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/grey-pear-shaped-moissanite-halo-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "grey pear shaped moissanite halo engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/grey-pear-shaped-moissanite-halo-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![moissanite engagement rings example with tapered baguette diamonds on the side](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/old-european-cut-moissanite-engagement-ring-400x300.jpeg "old european cut moissanite engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/old-european-cut-moissanite-engagement-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-moissanite-double-diamond-halo-white-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "teal moissanite double diamond halo white gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-moissanite-double-diamond-halo-white-gold-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/princess-cut-diamond-knife-edge-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "princess cut diamond knife edge engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/princess-cut-diamond-knife-edge-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-moissanite-halo-engagement-ring-rose-gold.jpeg-400x300.jpg "pink moissanite halo engagement ring rose gold.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-moissanite-halo-engagement-ring-rose-gold.jpeg.jpg) #### Where to Purchase Moissanite in Toronto? If you would like to use moissanite in your custom engagement ring there are two options. You can source a stone(s) yourself by logging on the Charles and Colvard website and then bringing the stone(s) to me to design a custom piece. Alternatively I can source the stone(s) for you. This second method is often easier because it enables you to see the stone(s) in ‘real life’ and you can decide if you would like to use it in your piece. If not, it can always be returned. Sometimes it’s also hard for you to know how many and of which size stones you should order for your design. Since I will know all of the precise details of the design it may be easier for me to order in the stones required. In the years since Charles & Colvard first perfected their bright, white material many other moissanite companies have sprung up around the world. There are a few that I feel create high quality material but there are a lot out there with sub par product. As with natural diamonds the cut is really important. You can have beautiful material but if it’s not cut right it won’t sparkle the way it should. #### The Next Step > If you still have questions you can also check out my moissanite[ FAQ’s](https://suzannecrudden.com/moissanite-faqs-2/) .

And not just because I’m one of those people that has an allergy to nickel! I love it because of its colour. I feel like the beautiful grey undertone makes a ring look richer and perhaps a bit more antique. If you think palladium white gold may be the alloy for you too here’s what you need to know. [ ![sheet wire and casting grain for working with palladium white gold](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/palladium.jpg "palladium - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/palladium.jpg) #### Hypoallergenic Alloy For those of us people with sensitive skin palladium white gold is a great alloy. Palladium is from the platinum group of metals, all of which are hypoallergenic. For the most part all precious jewellery is made with materials that will not cause a skin problems, however, about 5% of the population will have an allergic reaction to certain metals that are used in common jewellery alloys. Alloys are created to make metals harder so that they will stand up to normal wear and tear. Precious metals such as pure gold and silver are very soft. In order to toughen them up other metals such as silver, copper and nickel are added. It’s very uncommon for pure gold, silver, palladium or platinum to cause a skin sensitivity. The usual cause is the copper or nickel that is added to the alloy. Copper is added to create sterling silver and all karats of yellow gold and rose gold below 24k. Nickel is added to all karats of nickel white gold to bleach out the yellow of pure gold. It’s the most common alloy of white gold sold commercially. Palladium white gold uses palladium to bleach out the yellow instead of nickel. By removing the nickel, you remove the skin sensitivity. #### How do you know if you have a metal allergy if you haven't worn a lot of jewellery? If you haven’t worn a lot of jewellery it can be hard to know if you have an allergy. To complicate matters not everyone’s skin pH is the same, a metal that might be fine for one person with an allergy can cause a reaction for someone else. For me I noticed that the back of my belt buckle or the back of the button on my pants would give me a rash on my stomach. I also noticed that I couldn’t wear sterling silver earrings anymore although I could still wear sterling silver rings without a problem. As I said, it’s different for everyone. Costume jewellery is not always a good indicator of if you have an allergy or not. Most people have a reaction to the base white metal that is used in costume jewellery. Sometimes an allergy can develop later. I wasn’t always allergic to nickel white gold but I found that after I had my baby I was suddenly allergic to it! I had worn a ring home from the shop by accident and woke up the next morning to a skin reaction that was irritated and itchy under the white gold ring. If you’d like to test it out yourself I suggest borrowing an item of white gold jewellery from a friend or family member and wearing it for a period of 48 hours. If after that time you have no reaction you’re probably fine. I’ve even had a client tape a nickel to her arm and do a patch test to see if it caused a reaction (she did). If you’d like to try this method make sure you find a nickel that was minted before 1982 when they were still made of actual nickel. #### Palladium White Gold Availability Although palladium white gold is the most common alloy of white gold in Europe it is also readily available here locally in Toronto. Any ring, necklace, pendant, bracelet or set of earrings of your choice can be made using palladium white gold instead of nickel white gold. #### Cost Because palladium is from the platinum group of metals it is more expensive than nickel. This means that palladium white gold is roughly 30% more expensive than nickel white gold. Since writing this post the price of palladium has sky rocketed. Platinum is actually the better value choice these days! #### Colour The most obvious difference between nickel white gold and palladium white gold is the colour. Palladium has a deeper, grey-ish undertone and nickel white gold is a brighter white. But, if you were to compare two highly polished rings, your eye may have a hard time telling the difference between the two. It’s only a subtle difference but there definitely is a difference. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/nickel-vs-palladium-1-300x300.png "nickel vs palladium - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") Also, you may have heard about white gold rings needing to be “dipped”. A lot of commercially produced rings are rhodium plated because sometimes the alloy can have a slightly yellowish undertone. It is not necessary to plate palladium white gold. If you’re interested in finding out more about rhodium plating I’ve written a post about it [here](https://suzannecrudden.com/whats-the-deal-with-rhodium-plating/). #### A sampling of rings made with palladium white gold: [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-tone-palladium-white-gold-yellow-gold-vertical-stripe-wedding-rings-400x300.jpg "two tone palladium white gold yellow gold vertical stripe wedding rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-tone-palladium-white-gold-yellow-gold-vertical-stripe-wedding-rings.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/one-carat-natural-diamond-solitaire-ring-palladium-white-gold-400x300.jpeg "one carat natural diamond solitaire ring palladium white gold - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/one-carat-natural-diamond-solitaire-ring-palladium-white-gold.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/grey-purple-spinel-three-stone-half-moon-diamond-ring-1-400x300.jpg "grey purple spinel three stone half moon diamond ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/grey-purple-spinel-three-stone-half-moon-diamond-ring-1.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cushion-cut-blue-topaz-palladium-white-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "cushion cut blue topaz palladium white gold engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cushion-cut-blue-topaz-palladium-white-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-palladium-white-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpeg "wide palladium white gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-palladium-white-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-gemstone-wedding-ring-ladies-cluster-gemstone-wedding-ring-400x300.jpeg "mens gemstone wedding ring ladies cluster gemstone wedding ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-gemstone-wedding-ring-ladies-cluster-gemstone-wedding-ring.jpeg) #### So how do you know that palladium white gold is right for you? Definitely if you have a skin sensitivity you’ll want to consider palladium white gold, pure palladium or platinum. Also if you like more of an ‘antique’ look then you may want to consider palladium white gold. > If you are curious about this beautiful alloy or would like to see the colour difference between nickel white gold and palladium white gold in person I’d be happy to help with any questions that need answering. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Engagement, Jewellery Education **Tags:** allergy, hypoallergenic, skin sensitivity --- ### [What to Expect When Creating a Custom Ring](https://suzannecrudden.com/what-to-expect-when-creating-a-custom-ring/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** Thinking of creating a custom ring? Where do you start? I know it might seem intimidating if you have no experience in this area. Even worse if you have had an experience and that experience was bad. This is going to be a significant purchase and it’s important that you feel comfortable each step of the way. Don’t worry, making a ring can be easy and fun. ## How we will create your custom ring together ### Types of Rings Not every custom ring is going to be an engagement ring or a wedding ring. While the majority of the rings I create are custom engagement rings or custom wedding bands, I’ve also had the opportunity to custom design: right hand rings, signet rings, family rings, cocktail rings, stacking rings, promise rings and reuse heirloom jewellery to create new rings. You want a custom ring? I’ve got you covered.

No problem. I’d be happy to chat anytime whether you’re ready to make your piece of jewellery or not. If you’re local and are looking for a custom made ring in Toronto feel free to pop into my studio. Or if you have specific questions about the logistics please check out my [custom process page](https://suzannecrudden.com/custom-jewellery-process/). I’m not a salesperson so at no point will I try to convince you into something you don’t want. Remember, there are no stupid questions. I will provide honest answers to all of them, promise. #### No Pressure You will be a part of the process from initial concept to choosing your own gemstones to completion. Creating a custom ring is an experience. Together we will refine the design until it’s perfect. Think of me as your personal jewellery designer. Or, if you’re creating this ring for someone other than yourself, I’m happy to have the recipient of the ring involved or not. For example, if it’s an engagement ring design I’ve had many clients choose to have their partner there for the initial consultation and then continue the project on their own. If you choose to have it a surprise, you will be able to tell your partner the story of their ring from initial mocks up to CAD design to wax model to finished piece. I will give you regular status updates so you’re confident each step of the way. #### Respect I respect your preferences. Perhaps you want to look into alternative metals or lab made stones. I’m open to everything as long as the result is a ring that is functional, comfortable and beautiful. I respect your wishes to explore ethical choices. This is really important to me too. In fact one of the most common projects I work on is re-using old jewellery to create something new. I’m also committed to finding ethically sourced materials. I respect your budget. It’s ok, you can tell me if you have a number in mind that you don’t want to go beyond. I’ve worked with every kind of budget and made sure my clients got the best possible bling for their buck. #### Materials I am able to work with all kinds of precious metals including, sterling silver, white gold, palladium white gold, palladium, yellow gold, rose gold, green gold and platinum. Unfortunately my studio is not set up to work with alternative metals such as titanium and tungsten. If you would like a ring in one of these metals I can source different options from some of my suppliers. I’m also able to work with pretty much any gemstone. I say “pretty much” because I will only work with conflict-free gemstones and no banned materials such as ivory or coral. As I noted above I work a lot with lab grown gemstones and diamonds and I highly recommend them as an alternative to earth-mined stones. > What I’ve tried to do here is talk about certain ideas that people have about custom jewellery.

We have developed this lab grown gemstone guide to provide more information about these beautiful options. ## Lab Grown Gemstone Guide At first it might not be so obvious but synthetic gemstones and imitation gemstones are two entirely different things. > A synthetic gemstone is chemically identical to a natural mineral from the earth but made in a lab environment. An imitation gemstone is a material that is similar in appearance to another mineral or gemstone but chemically different. More and more I have clients who are interested in using synthetic gemstones but the terminology can get confusing. Let’s explore the distinction between these two terms a bit more. ### SYNTHETIC OR LAB CREATED GEMSTONES Synthetic gemstones may also be known as ‘lab grown stones’, ‘lab made stones’, ‘lab “gemstone name”, lab sapphire or man-made gemstones. They are all the same thing. A synthetic gemstone is created by humans in a lab to be chemically identical to a natural mineral. There are many different processes to create these gemstones, the first of which was developed in the late 1800’s. Since there can be confusion between these synthetic stones and natural stones because they share chemical and optical characteristics, there are strict disclosure guide lines for the marketplace. ### WHAT KINDS OF LAB CREATED OR SYNTHETIC STONES ARE AVAILABLE? Synthetic stones are most often available in gemstones for which there is a high demand. So, for example, synthetic ruby is readily available while synthetic peridot is not. The most common synthetic gemstones are sapphire (blue, yellow, pink, purple, green and padparadscha), ruby, emerald, spinel and alexandrite. There are also synthetic diamonds and they are pure carbon, just as natural diamonds. They may be referred to by the process by which they were created, for example HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature) diamonds. ### MOISSANITE Moissanite is another synthetic gemstone created in a lab. Natural moissanite was discovered over a century ago but it is very rare and the sample was extremely small. The properties of this gem proved so alluring that in the proceeding years many tried to recreate the mineral in a lab. Finally the company Charles & Colvard succeeded and an alternative to diamond became a reality. At first the moissanite gemstones produced had a yellow0ish undertone (now referred to ‘Moissanite Classic’) but in recent years new, colourless moissanite have been developed such as the ‘Forever Brilliant’ and the ‘Forever One’ lines. ### LAB CREATED DIAMOND AND SAPPHIRE ENGAGEMENT RINGS As the title implies, lab created diamond or sapphire are most suitable for engagement rings. This is due to their hardness. The toughness and durability of natural diamonds and sapphires are what have always made them best suited for the everyday wear of engagement rings. The same applies for their lab created versions, as they have identical chemical compositions, they have identical hardnesses. ### IMITATION GEMSTONES Also known as simulants, imitation gemstones are stones that are essentially trying to mimic another gemstone. So, for example, a cubic zirconia in place of a diamond. Imitation stones are not chemically, optically or physically similar to the gemstone they are imitating in any way. #### COMMON IMITATION STONES Most of us are familiar with cubic zirconia that is used to imitate diamond but there are many more stones both natural and synthetic that are used to imitate higher cost natural stones. Here are just a few: - Synthetic spinel is used to imitate all birthstones - Dyed quartz can be used to imitate almost any gemstone - Dyed howlite is used to imitate turquoise - Plastic and glass can be used to imitate opal and pearl If you’re interested in learning more about imitation gemstones I highly recommend checking out the [GIA website](http://www.gia.edu/gem-imitation) where they have a lot of great information. If you are planning to make a piece of jewellery that will be worn everyday then you’ll want to make sure you select a synthetic or lab made gemstone, not an imitation stone. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Custom Jewellery, Engagement, Guides, Jewellery Education **Tags:** alexandrite, artisnal diamond, lab grown diamond, lab grown emerald, lab grown ruby, lab grown sapphire, man made diamond, moissanite --- ### [Alternative Engagement Rings Toronto](https://suzannecrudden.com/alternative-engagement-rings-toronto/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** The classic diamond ring as we know it has only been around for a little over 100 years. Developed and marketed by the diamond industry it became the must-have accessory for all of the newly engaged. But the times they are a-changing! Alternative engagement rings are becoming more and more popular. Diamonds aren’t for everyone and nor should anyone be ever made to feel that diamonds must be for everyone. More and more people in Toronto and around the world are looking to non-diamond gemstone alternatives for their non-traditional engagement rings. There are so many beautiful gemstones to choose from but some are more suitable to be set in an engagement ring than others. The most important thing to keep in mind is the durability of the stone. It needs to be tough enough to stand up to everyday wear. This is one of the reasons why diamonds have been such a popular choice for engagement rings. Diamonds are exponentially harder than any other gemstone. That being said, there are plenty of other tough, beautiful gemstones to choose from. ## A Ranking of the Most Durable Gemstones to use for Alternative Engagement Rings ### ``Best`` Gemstones First, let’s explore this ‘Best’ category of gemstone. The gemstones in the ‘Best’ category are the next most durable after diamond. One way to measure a gemstone’s durability is with the Moh’s Scale of hardness. The scale is from 1 to 10 with 1 being very soft and 10 being very hard. An example of a stone that measures in at 1 is talc. The only stone that measures in at 10 is diamond. #### Lab Grown Diamond Engagement Ring I debated whether or not to include lab created diamond in this article since, after all, we are talking about diamond alternatives. Lab diamonds are chemically identical to diamonds that are found in nature so they are, in fact, diamonds. But I decided to include them anyway since they are not what we would think of as a traditional diamond. A synthetic or lab created diamond is a great choice for an engagement ring. As noted above it’s chemically identical to a natural diamond so that means it is an extremely tough and durable stone with a Moh’s hardness of 10. [ ![lab made diamond showing laser enscription](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/laser-enscribed-lab-grown-diamond.png "laser enscribed lab grown diamond - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/laser-enscribed-lab-grown-diamond.png) #### Moissanite Engagement Ring Moissanite is a newer alternative to diamond. Although naturally occurring moissanite has been known for over a century it is only recently that a bright white material has been successfully reproduced in a lab. Measuring in at 9.25 on the Moh’s Scale, Moissanite is a great choice for your custom engagement ring. It’s a beautiful, double refractive stone meaning that it actually has more ‘fire’ or reflective properties than diamond. Recently the company that creates Moissanite, Charles & Colvard, has developed the whitest material of moissanite yet,the Forever One line. For more information about moissanite engagement rings check out my [post](https://suzannecrudden.com/moissanite-engagement-rings/)! Moissanite is also available in colours other than white although fancy colours are not offered through Charles & Colvard. I have, however, recently sourced some moissanite available in a limited amount of colours that is very beautiful. The main image on this page is of a peacock blue moissanite from this source. It can be tricky to find quality moissanite and that is why I always work with trusted suppliers. [ ![alternative engagement rings showing moissanite cushion cut ring](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-cushion-moissanite-hidden-halo-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg "elongated cushion moissanite hidden halo engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-cushion-moissanite-hidden-halo-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg) ### ``Better`` Gemstones Any of the “Better” category of gemstones can also be used in your non-diamond custom engagement ring without any worries. They are all durable, hard gemstones that will stand up to wear and tear. All of these gemstones have a Moh’s hardness of 9. #### Natural and Lab Grown Sapphire Engagement Ring As with lab created diamond, lab created or synthetic sapphire is also chemically identical to natural sapphire. Whereas natural sapphire is available in a multitude of colours, the colours available in lab sapphire are much more limited. Lab grown sapphires are very saturated in colour while there’s a greater tonal range available in natural sapphire. I’ve also outlined a lot more about sapphire engagement ring choices in another [post](https://suzannecrudden.com/sapphire-engagement-rings/). [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/natural-sapphires-small-700x600.png "natural sapphires small - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/natural-sapphires-small-700x600.png) A selection of sapphires by [Sorbet Sapphire](https://sorbetsapphire.com/collections/sapphires) Below I’ve made a short description of the most common colours available in natural sapphire: - White Sapphire: A true white but with less ‘fire’ than a diamond - Yellow Sapphire: Ranges from pale yellow to bright, sunny yellow - Orange Sapphire: Typically a saturated tangerine colour, lighter orange is less common - Padparadscha Sapphire: A padparadscha sapphire is a very particular colour, either 60% orange and 40% pink or 60% pink and 40% orange - Pink Sapphire: Typically a deep, vibrant pink – pale pink is less common - Purple Sapphire: A ‘classic’ purple, lighter and brighter than an amethyst purple - Blue Sapphire: Ranges from light blue to navy blue with the classic blue being described as ‘ceylon’ - Green Sapphire: Typically an earthy green, not a bright kelly green like emerald or tsavorite garnet In comparison, the shades typically available in lab grown sapphire are blue, purple, pink, green and yellow. #### Lab Grown or Natural Ruby Engagement Ring Ruby and sapphire are actually the same mineral, corundum. The classic colour of a ruby is described as ‘pigeon’s blood red’ – I know – gross. If a ruby is too pink or purple it’s called a pink or purple sapphire instead. The colour of lab grown ruby is that classic red while natural ruby ranges more in colour from purple-red to pink-red and all shades of red in between. This image is a custom piece I made of a 14k yellow gold ring featuring a lab grown Chatham ruby. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ruby-nature-inspired-engagement-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg "ruby nature inspired engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ruby-nature-inspired-engagement-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg) #### Chrysoberyl and Alexandrite Engagement Ring A less known stone, chrysoberyl is another tough gemstone that is more than suitable for a non-diamond engagement ring and able to stand up to wear and tear. Natural chysoberyl is a bright yellow or green-yellow stone. Alexandrite is the colour change version of chrysoberyl. It changes in colour from red/purple in indoor light to green/teal blue in outdoor light. Alexandrite is quite rare and is often more expensive than diamonds of equivalent size. Luckily alexandrite is also available as a lab made stone with the same colour change properties but not the same price tag as its natural counter part. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/alexandrite.png "alexandrite - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/alexandrite.png) ### ``Good`` Gemstones And Finally the “Good” cateogry of gemstones. These are the ‘proceed with caution’ stones. With a Moh’s hardness of 8 they are technically suitable for engagement rings but there are other considerations to take into account beyond their hardness as outlined below. #### Lab Grown Emerald Engagement Ring You will notice, of course, that I haven’t included natural emerald here. This is because natural emerald, although hard, tends to be brittle which compromises its durability. You could select a natural emerald for your engagement ring as long as you are aware of, and willing to accept, the risks. You would hopefully be one of those people who aren’t too hard on their jewellery. You’d need to be cautious when you’re wearing your ring and keep it as safe as possible. Because lab emerald isn’t as brittle as natural emerald it is actually a better choice for an engagement ring. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/compass-set-emerald-diamond-halo-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg "compass set emerald diamond halo engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/compass-set-emerald-diamond-halo-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg) #### Topaz Engagement Ring Natural topaz is available in a variety of colours. It’s often colour treated to create a more desirable or saturated colour, but the treatment is stable. Because of the affordability of natural topaz there really isn’t a market for lab made topaz. But, also due to its affordability, it is much easier to purchase a larger stone if that’s your preference! Although hard, topaz has something called perfect cleavage (yes, that is a technical term) which makes it vulnerable to breakage. Due to the crystal structure of topaz, if it is hit in just the right spot the stone could ‘cleave’ or break off. Here are some common colours of topaz: sky blue, bright blue, denim blue, pink, green, white and yellow. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/topaz.png "topaz - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/topaz.png) Perhaps the stone you were hoping to use isn’t in the Good, Better, Best list. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use it, you should do you after all. It just means that you will need to take the time and do some research on the stone of your choice. Then you will know the risks involved before selecting it for your engagement ring. Unfortunately, you will need to prepare yourself for the possibility that the stone may break. You’ll want to keep that in mind when budgeting how much you’d like to spend. Below are some further lists of gemstones that I would classify as ‘Proceed with Caution’ and ‘Absolutely Do Not Use’: #### Proceed with Caution: Aquamarine, Emerald, Garnet (any kind), Morganite, Spinel, Tourmaline, Zircon #### Absolutely Do Not Use: Cubic Zirconia, Onyx, Opal, Pearl, Peridot, Quartz (any kind), Tanzanite It’s impossible to predict how a stone will wear. Some people can wear an emerald ring every day for a lifetime without any problems. Others can break the stone within the first few weeks of wear. At the end of the day nothing is indestructible, not even diamond. Whatever you choose, keep in mind that an engagement ring is almost like a car. It will last longer and look better if you bring it in for regular servicing every once in a while to make sure everything is ok. If you are planning to make a piece of jewellery that will be worn everyday, such as an engagement ring, then you’ll want to make sure you select a gemstone that is tough and durable. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Engagement, Jewellery Education **Tags:** artisinal diamond, diamond alternative, lab grown gemstone, man made diamond, unique engagement ring --- ### [What's the deal with rhodium plating?](https://suzannecrudden.com/whats-the-deal-with-rhodium-plating/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** ### What’s the deal with rhodium plating? ### Or why do some people need to have their ring “dipped”? You may have heard a friend or colleague mention at some point that they need to get their white gold ring ‘dipped’. And you may have (rightly) thought to yourself, ‘what on earth does this mean’? Having a ring ‘dipped’ means having it plated and, particularly in the case of white gold, having it rhodium plated. Rhodium plating can also be known as white gold plating. #### What is Rhodium? Rhodium is a rare metal in the platinum family of metals. It is not suitable for jewellery making but is extremely suitable for plating jewellery. It is a noble metal meaning that it resists corrosion and is hypo-allergenic. In addition to being used to plate jewellery, it is most commonly used in catalytic converters and electronic items. #### Why would you plate your white gold ring white? Sometimes commercial alloys of white gold can have a yellow-ish undertone to them. This yellow undertone becomes more apparent over time. The most popular alloy of white gold that is used in North America is nickel white gold. The nickel is combined with yellow gold and used to bleach out the yellow of the yellow gold. Sometimes this bleaching is not entirely successful and over time the yellow undertone becomes noticeable. In order to mask this yellow undertone most commercial jewellery is rhodium plated to make it appear bright white. There are different alloys of nickel white gold available. The ‘soft’ nickel white gold is the one that is prone to having a yellow undertone and requires rhodium plating. There is also a bright white alloy of nickel white gold that does not require plating. In my jewellery I prefer to use this alloy that does not require plating. So if there is an alloy of nickel white gold that doesn’t require plating, why doesn’t everyone use it? Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to that question. There are cases, for instance when using a more fragile stone, that you’d want to use a softer white gold alloy. In most instances, however, I always use the bright white gold alloy that doesn’t require plating. #### The Problem with Plating There is nothing wrong with plating per se but it is a bit of a hassle. It requires up-keep. Over time the plating will wear off especially where the ring comes into the most contact with the objects of everyday life. Usually the underside of a ring is where you will first start to notice the plating wear away. Typically you’ll need to have your ring re-plated every 1 to 2 years depending on how much wear and tear it receives. #### Do you Have to Plate all White Gold Jewellery? No. As I noted above the white gold alloy that I use doesn’t require plating. You may choose to plate your white gold jewellery if it was plated in the first place and it’s starting to wear off or if you’ve started to notice a yellow undertone to your piece. There is also another alloy called palladium white gold that uses palladium (also from the platinum family of metals) instead of nickel to bleach the gold white. Palladium white gold never requires plating. If you are interested in learning more about this beautiful alloy check out my post about it [here](http://www.suzannecrudden.com/palladium-white-gold). Finally some people actually have an allergy to the nickel in nickel white gold. Sometimes they only discover this allergy after they’ve purchased their ring. Or sometimes this sensitivity can develop over time and people can discover that their jewellery that once gave them no problems now gives them a rash. Sometimes rhodium plating can be used as a layer of protection since it’s hypo-allergenic. Unfortunately it’s only a temporary solution and it will wear away over time. If you have any other questions about rhodium plating please feel free to get in touch. And yes, I do offer rhodium plating services if you require them! Always ask if the white gold piece you are about to purchase has been rhodium plated or requires rhodium plating in the future. It is in your interest to know if your jewellery piece will require the up-keep of regular plating every year. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Jewellery Education **Tags:** nickel white gold, palladium white gold, plating, rhodium, white gold --- ### [Sapphire Engagement Rings](https://suzannecrudden.com/sapphire-engagement-rings/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** Sapphire, thy name is variety. The hardest choice when searching out sapphire engagement rings is figuring out what kind of sapphire you like best. Sapphires come in so many colours, hues, shapes and sizes. Except for red, red sapphires are called rubies. We’re lucky in Toronto that we have access to many suppliers of this gorgeous gemstone. There’s so much to explore when talking about sapphire. If what you’re interested in isn’t covered here you can also check out my post on [alternative engagement rings](https://suzannecrudden.com/alternative-engagement-rings/) and my post about [lab grown diamond and sapphire engagement rings](https://suzannecrudden.com/lab-created-gemstone-guide/). My specialty is working with clients local to Toronto or long distance to custom create the exact right sapphire ring for them. I have a variety of ring designs to choose from or we can take inspiration from elsewhere and make a completely unique engagement ring design from scratch. ### Natural Unheated Sapphires What is an unheated sapphire? Most sapphires are heat treated in order to achieve a desired colour. An unheated sapphire has not gone through this heat treatment. Typically an unheated sapphire will be more pastel and less saturated in colour than a heated sapphire. If you would like an unheated sapphire for your engagement ring sometimes you can pay a bit more due to their rarity, especially in blue. That being said I have a wonderful local supplier of unheated sapphires. If you’re interested in learning more about unheated sapphires you can find a lot of information at [Sorbet Sapphire](https://sorbetsapphire.com/collections/sapphires). One important note if you do select an unheated sapphire. If you end up needing to size your ring always disclose that your sapphire is unheated to the jeweller doing the work. Sizing requires the application of heat and, because the stone has not yet been subject to a heat treatment, the process of sizing could actually alter the colour of your stone. For some colours of sapphire, such as pale yellow, not a lot of heat is required to change the colour. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/natural-sapphires-small-700x600.png "natural sapphires small - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/natural-sapphires-small-700x600.png) ### Natural Heated Sapphires Heated sapphires is the term we use for sapphires that have gone through a high temperature treatment to create a greater saturation of colour, reduce colour zoning and improve clarity. It’s estimated that 90% of sapphires have been heat treated. When looking at sapphires or sapphire engagement rings you can assume that the sapphire has been heat treated unless otherwise specified. There is absolutely nothing wrong with heat treatments. The process is permanent and your stone will not fade or alter. ### Lab Created Sapphires Recently lab created sapphires have gained in popularity even though they’ve been around for over 100 years. They can go by many names, lab created sapphires, lab made sapphires, lab grown sapphires, lab sapphires and synthetic sapphires. All of these terms refer to the same thing which is a sapphire that has been made in a lab rather than mined from the earth. Lab created sapphires are identical chemically to sapphires from the earth. They have the same brilliance and hardness as natural sapphires, just not the same price tag. I often work with a company called [Chatham Created Sapphires](https://blog.chatham.com/education/our-history/) who produce gorgeous stones that really give mother nature some stiff competition! I’ve made many lab created sapphire engagement rings and have never been disappointed with the quality of the stone. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/BlueSapphire_Shades-chatham.jpg "BlueSapphire_Shades chatham - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/BlueSapphire_Shades-chatham.jpg) ### Are Sapphire Engagement Rings Durable? The reason why sapphire is a great choice for your engagement ring is because it is durable. With a score of 9 on the Moh’s scale of hardness this means that a sapphire will stand up to the rigors of everyday wear. The other reason it’s a great choice is because sapphire is available is such a wide variety of colours! ### Popular Colours in Sapphire Engagement Rings #### Peach Sapphires [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-pear-halo-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "pink sapphire pear halo engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-pear-halo-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/peach-sapphire-rose-gold-diamond-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "peach sapphire rose gold diamond engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/peach-sapphire-rose-gold-diamond-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/double-halo-peach-sapphire-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "double halo peach sapphire engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/double-halo-peach-sapphire-engagement-ring.jpg) With the resurgence of popularity in rose gold we’ve seen the increase in popularity of peach sapphire engagement rings. No doubt you’ve seen many examples gracing the pages of pinterest boards, maybe even your own! Many of the stones in these rings are not sapphires at all but something called Morganite which is the pink variety of the mineral beryl (green beryl is called emerald, blue beryl is called aquamarine and yellow beryl is called heliodor). Unfortunately, morganite is not as hard as sapphire and therefore not as a great a choice for everyday wear in an engagement ring. Peach sapphire is definitely the better choice for an engagement ring over morganite, however, the colour is not nearly as easy to find as in morganite. In morganite the colour is fairly consistent. Some stones may have a bit more pink and others a bit more orange but, over all, it’s an easy colour match for rose gold. Not so with peach sapphire. The hues in peach sapphire can run the spectrum, some more yellow, some more pink and others more orange. And the saturation varies quite a bit as well from very pale to saturated. Be prepared to look at quite a number of stones until you find the one that works for you. There is another pinkish orange variety of sapphire called padparadscha. I love that word. And that stone. Padparadscha are gorgeous mixes of pink and orange, sometimes with colour zoning of both colours. They are typically more saturated in colour so many not work if you’re looking for more of a pastel shade for your ring. #### Teal Sapphires [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-sapphire-diamond-accent-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "teal sapphire diamond accent ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-sapphire-diamond-accent-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/australian-teal-sapphire-oval-diamond-halo-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "australian teal sapphire oval diamond halo engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/australian-teal-sapphire-oval-diamond-halo-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/art-deco-inspired-teal-sapphire-and-diamond-three-stone-ring-400x300.jpg "art deco inspired teal sapphire and diamond three stone ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/art-deco-inspired-teal-sapphire-and-diamond-three-stone-ring.jpg) The popularity of teal sapphires likely goes hand in hand with the popularity in recent years of Montana Sapphires which I talk about below. I find that my clients who are looking for teal sapphire rings usually have a very particular shade in mind. As I talked about above with the peach sapphires, teal sapphires are also quite varied and can run from more green with blue to more blue with green & from pale to saturated. Again, be prepared to look at many stones before you find the right one. #### Montana Sapphires [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-sapphire-wide-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "teal sapphire wide engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/teal-sapphire-wide-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-teal-montana-sapphire-diamond-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "emerald cut teal montana sapphire diamond engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-teal-montana-sapphire-diamond-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cushion-yellow-sapphire-set-horizontally-ring-400x300.jpg "cushion yellow sapphire set horizontally ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cushion-yellow-sapphire-set-horizontally-ring.jpg) Montana Sapphires are, you guessed it, sapphires from Montana! In recent years they have become popular not only because of their beauty but also because their origin is known. This is also why Australian sapphires have become more popular. Unfortunately there is no process in place that traces the origin of most sapphires. I’m fortunate to work with local gemstone suppliers who do know the origin of their sapphires but I feel like the industry has a lot of catching up to do in this regard. Montana sapphires are beautiful and can range quite a bit in colour. Most often they are blue, teal, yellow, green or some combination of these colours. Sometimes they have very unique colour zoning with one colour on one side and another colour on the other. A Montana sapphire would definitely create a unique sapphire engagement ring! #### Blue Sapphires [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-carat-oval-blue-sapphire-yellow-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "three carat oval blue sapphire yellow gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-carat-oval-blue-sapphire-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rose-cut-pear-blue-sapphire-engagement-ring-with-diamond-accent-band-400x300.jpg "rose cut pear blue sapphire engagement ring with diamond accent band - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rose-cut-pear-blue-sapphire-engagement-ring-with-diamond-accent-band.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/step-cut-octangonal-blue-sapphire-solitaire-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "step cut octangonal blue sapphire solitaire engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/step-cut-octangonal-blue-sapphire-solitaire-engagement-ring.jpg) Things go in, things go out but blue sapphire engagement rings are always popular, always. The shade of blue that has been popular has changed somewhat over the years. Many of us may think of a very deep, dark blue when we think of blue sapphires because of our grandmother’s jewellery. Actually the most sought after shade of blue sapphire has always been “corn flower” blue, sometimes also referred to as Ceylon (for Sri Lanka, the origin of some of the best blue sapphire material). Most blue sapphires are heat treated to create that delicious blue shade. If you’re looking for an unheated natural blue sapphire you will definitely be paying a premium due to their rarity. Many of my clients are also looking for pastel blue sapphires for their engagement rings pairing them with white gold for a more modern look. Really, you can never go wrong with a blue sapphire! #### Green Sapphire [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-stone-green-pear-shaped-sapphire-and-diamond-engagement-ring-400x300.jpeg "two stone green pear shaped sapphire and diamond engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-stone-green-pear-shaped-sapphire-and-diamond-engagement-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/oval-green-sapphire-champagne-diamond-halo-engagement-ring-1-400x300.jpg "oval green sapphire champagne diamond halo engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/oval-green-sapphire-champagne-diamond-halo-engagement-ring-1.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/princess-cut-light-green-sapphire-white-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "princess cut light green sapphire white gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/princess-cut-light-green-sapphire-white-gold-engagement-ring.jpg) Want to know what’s red hot? Green! Yes, green sapphires are very popular right now. Perhaps the popularity of teal sapphire has led many to a new appreciation of green sapphire. Green sapphire was less popular in the past because everyone was looking for the classic green emerald colour. Typically green sapphire has a more earthy hue, highlighted by either yellow, brown or blue undertones. #### Other Sapphire Colours [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-diamond-cluster-promise-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "pink sapphire diamond cluster promise ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-diamond-cluster-promise-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-sapphire-pear-shaped-engagement-ring.jpeg-1-400x300.jpg "yellow sapphire pear shaped engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-sapphire-pear-shaped-engagement-ring.jpeg-1.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green-and-orange-ring-400x300.jpg "green and orange ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green-and-orange-ring.jpg) You will also find a wide variety of hues in: pink sapphire, green sapphire, orange sapphire, purple sapphire, yellow sapphire and brown sapphire. White sapphire is also available and you can sometimes see grey sapphire too. All of my suppliers offer a wide product selection so I’m able to bring in many options for my clients. > ### The Right Sapphire For You > > I hope this information has helped you learn a bit more about sapphire engagement rings and, if you’re considering sapphire, what might be most important to you.

Lab grown diamonds, also known as lab created, lab made or man made diamonds, are chemically identical to natural diamonds. They have the same durability and sparkle but not the same price tag! ### Is a lab grown diamond a real diamond? Yes! Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds. A laboratory grown diamond is physically and chemically identical to a natural diamond. The only way to detect the difference between them is with highly specialized equipment. The answer to if the average Joe or Jane can detect the difference between a natural and lab created diamond is a definite no. Most jewellers and gemmologists can’t tell the difference either, not without that specialized equipment I mentioned. Lab diamonds are equal to natural diamond in quality, durability and sparkle. ### What's the difference between a lab diamond and a diamond simulant? The short version is that a lab diamond is a genuine or “real” diamond and a diamond simulant is not. A diamond simulant is something such as cubic zirconia which is used to mimic the look of a diamond but at a much lower cost. Unfortunately, although beautiful, cubic zirconia is not durable enough to stand up to everyday wear. Within months the facet edges will start to abraid and the surface of the gem will start to look “foggy”. This will not happen with a lab created diamond because, since it is identical to a natural diamond, it is just as durable. It is also important to note here what we mean when we say “synthetic diamond” versus diamond simulant or imitation diamond. A synthetic diamond is a lab created diamond. It is identical to a natural diamond but made in a lab so it can be called synthetic. A diamond simulant or imitation diamond is not a diamond. As we discussed above this would be something like a cubic zirconia that is meant to look like a diamond but is not a diamond. ### How much do lab grown diamonds cost? Initally lab diamonds were about 30% less expensive than natural diamonds. Recently, however, the cost of lab created diamonds has decreased even further due to competition in the market and improvements in production. Today you can expect to pay between 30-40% less for a lab made diamond. You could also look at it at as getting a larger lab created diamond for the same price as a smaller natural diamond. ### Are lab grown diamonds graded the same as natural diamonds? At first lab grown diamonds were mostly only available in larger carat weights. But now smaller melee (small accent sized diamonds) are available in a range of sizes and shapes. The most accessible shapes for melee are round, pear, straight baguette and tapered baguette. It can still be difficult to find some of the rarer or unusual shapes such as trillion, marquise or kite in a lab created stone. This is especially true with the small melee stones. It is possible to have a lab diamond custom cut to your specifications but this can easily add thousands to the final cost. I am finding more and more variety available as the demand for lab created diamonds increases so it may just be a question of waiting until the suppliers can catch up with the demand. [ ![lab made diamond showing laser enscription](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/laser-enscribed-lab-grown-diamond.png "laser enscribed lab grown diamond - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/laser-enscribed-lab-grown-diamond.png) ### How are lab grown diamonds made? So how does one go about growing diamonds? Lab diamonds are created in one of two ways. The first is called High-Pressure High-Temperature or HPHT. Did you know lab diamonds were around in the 1950’s? Companies were actually using this HPHT process back then to create lab diamonds to use for industrial purposes. They were not as focused on producing gem quality diamonds for the jewellery industry. As you may have guessed this process uses extreme heat and extreme pressure and applies it to a natural diamond seed. This simulates the extreme environment that causes natural diamonds to form. The second process is called Chemical Vapour Deposition or CVD. This method was also around in the 1950’s but it’s only recently that it has become as viable the HPHT method. CVD also starts with a natural diamond seed which is placed in a chamber then subjected to high temperatures. Following this a combination of hydrogen and methane is released into the chamber which causes the electrons to separate and actually frees the pure carbon atoms which then deposits onto the diamond seed. ### Are lab grown diamonds available in all sizes? All lab grown diamonds are graded according to the “4 C’s” just as natural diamonds are, ie: colour, clarity, cut, carat. However, lab diamonds receive a different report than natural diamonds. All lab created diamonds will come with a report that states they are lab grown and this information should also be laser inscribed on the girdle of the stone. Fun fact, you can even get a custom personalized message inscribed on the girdle of your diamond! [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Lab-Grown-Diamonds-Pink-Blue-Yellow.jpg "Lab-Grown-Diamonds-Pink-Blue-Yellow - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Lab-Grown-Diamonds-Pink-Blue-Yellow.jpg) ### Are colours other than white available in lab grown diamonds? Yes, coloured lab diamonds are available but they are harder to find. As with the shapes, it is a question of the time needed for the supply to increase in order to meet the demand. Because the most popular colour of lab diamond is white, that it the colour that is most produced. ### Where can I purchase a lab grown diamond in Toronto? There are a number of websites that offer lab grown diamonds for purchase. If you decide to purchase your lab grown stone online we can work together to create the ring. The only trouble with purchasing a diamond online is that you can’t see it in person which often can make a big difference. I also have access to a number of lab diamond suppliers and I’m happy to bring stones in for you to choose one in person. ### Should you choose a lab grown diamond for your engagement ring? Ultimately, of course, only you can answer this question. Personally I feel lab grown diamonds are in every way as beautiful as natural diamonds but with two significant differences. The first is the price point which, as we’ve discussed, is much lower than a natural diamond. The second is that a lab made diamond is conflict free and has a much lower environmental impact than a mined diamond. If you have your heart set on a diamond, and either of these factors are important to you, then I say go for it! You won’t be disappointed. If you’re still on the fence then the way I work will, I think, make it easier. If you’ve never seen a lab diamond before I can bring some in to the shop so you can see them in person. I can even source out the shape and size you’re looking for so you can visualize what it will look like on your finger. And unlike in the creation of these diamonds there’s no pressure. If the options are not what you were looking for we can always return them and try something else. This is really about finding out what’s right for you.

Why take something else from the earth if we don’t have to? Also, by reusing high cost materials such as gold, platinum and diamonds, it is absolutely the best way to maximize your custom jewellery budget. In addition to the obvious benefit to your budget, you are also able to transfer the sentimental value of the original piece into your new piece. And isn’t the sentimental value what jewellery is really all about? [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuse-jewellery-collage-700x600.jpg "reuse jewellery collage - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuse-jewellery-collage-700x600.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-ring-reuse-jewellery-render-700x600.jpg "emerald ring reuse jewellery render - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-ring-reuse-jewellery-render-700x600.jpg) I’ve written extensively on the [how to’s](https://suzannecrudden.com/reuse-old-jewellery/) and [the faq’s](https://suzannecrudden.com/re-use-old-jewellery-faqs/) of reusing your jewellery on this site and I encourage you to check out those pages if you’re interested in learning how to reuse your jewellery in an heirloom redesign. ### Repair Options to Maximize your Custom Jewellery Budget Perhaps you love the jewellery you already have but it has seen better days. Although some precious materials such as gold, platinum, diamonds and gemstones can be very durable, they are not indestructible. Over time they will show their wear just as any other material. But the good news is that, in most cases, we can repair your precious pieces of jewellery to good as new condition! Below I talk about some of the most common ways to repair your heirloom pieces which will help you preserve their value without having to necessarily purchase any new materials. ### Resizing Sometimes an heirloom piece is perfect in every way except it doesn’t fit your finger. For rings in materials such as silver, gold or platinum with gemstones such as diamonds, rubies or sapphires we can easily change the size of your ring for you. The process requires soldering of the ring which means high heat must be applied to the materials. The materials I mentioned earlier are all able to take the high amount of heat required. Unfortunately there are some gemstones that are unable to withstand the amount of heat needed to resize a ring. Gemstones such as pearls, opals, onyx, and turquoise will be destroyed by the high heat of a soldering torch. For other gemstones such as emerald or aquamarine the results are more unpredictable. Sometimes they can are able to endure the heat fine and sometimes the heat causes cracking or colour changes. In cases with gemstones that are unable to withstand the heat of soldering we try to remove these stones from their settings before proceeding. This is usually not a problem with prong settings but we run in to trouble with bezel settings. In order to remove a stone from a bezel setting you have to destroy the setting. So if you wanted to resize a ring that had a bezel set fragile stone we’d likely have to remake the setting entirely. ### Reshanking I know, this term sounds slightly ominous. But, don’t worry, all reshanking means is removing the bottom portion of the ring “shank” and replacing it with a sturdier shank. Why would you want to do this? Have you ever seen a ring that has had a long, happy life but only has a sliver of the ring shank remaining? This is because over time the gold in the ring gets slowly worn away by every day life. Activities such as opening doors, gardening, cooking, washing dishes, working out – all of these activities slowly remove tiny pieces of gold from your ring. So after decades what remains of the ring shank is a thin, worn band sometimes with a knife edge. The good news is that, in most cases, we are able to remove the old, worn shank and replace it with a thicker, wider, stronger one. Once the reshanking is complete the ring is ready to be worn again for decades to come. ### Retipping Everyone should always pay attention to the condition of the claws or prongs of their ring, even if your ring is fairly new. The reason is that, just as the metal at the bottom of a ring is removed over time, the metal in the prongs will also wear over time. I’ve often seen many old rings with some of their prongs worn entirely away. Luckily the other three prongs had kept the stone in place. So how do you know what to look for to make sure your prongs are in good order? When inspecting your prongs you’ll want to make sure that there is a good amount of metal still in place on the top of the prong. If the amount of metal has worn down to near the table of your stone you’ll want to consider retipping your prongs. Retipping just means adding metal to your prongs to reinforce them and provide strength to keep your stone in place. Sometimes you’ll only need to retip one prong or sometimes multiple prongs. Ensuring your prongs are in good shape will give you worry free wear for years to come but it is still highly recommended to come in for an inspection every couple of years. The other thing to consider with respect to prongs is that, from time to time, they need to be tightened. Over the course of the years your gemstone may become slightly dislodged from the seats in the prongs. Or the prongs themselves may have lifted a bit and need to be tamped down again. Another reason to come in for an inspection every couple of years! ### Repolishing Of course any of your pieces that you bring in for repair will be repolished again to new-like condition. Sometimes people don’t realize that the surface of their jewellery pieces can be repolished back to a high polish. I’ve spoken to some clients who thought their old pieces were just “old” and that the metal in them could never shine again. Not true! We can refinish and polish your heirloom pieces and have them shining like new. If you’re perfectly happy with your item of jewellery except it just doesn’t fit, seems fragile, broken or dull then maybe all it needs is a make-over to make it perfect. For the majority of jewellery, a repair cost will be much less than purchasing a new piece. ### Refine to Maximize your Custom Jewellery Budget I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the gold market but gold is at an all time high these days. This means that if you choose to refine your gold now you will receive a cash credit larger than in years past. What does refining mean and why would you choose to do it? Refining is the process of taking your gold to a smelter where they determine the percentages of the different types of metal contained in your piece then give you a cash credit for the pure gold or platinum content only. If a client chooses to work with me I offer the service of taking in their gold to refine for a credit that they can use toward their new piece. I have to stress here that taking in gold or platinum for refining is not my business. I only offer it as an option to my clients in order to maximize their budgets. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuseslide5-800-700x600.jpg "reuseslide5-800 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/reuseslide5-800-700x600.jpg) But why, you might ask, would you want to refine your gold if you can reuse it? Well, in some cases, reusing gold doesn’t work. For example, if you would like to have a white gold ring but only have yellow gold to reuse then we can’t actually change the colour of the gold. In this case we can refine the yellow gold and apply it as a credit toward to the new white gold project. In the final analysis reusing your actual gold will always provide you with more value than refining your gold for credit. But refining is a good option when either reusing your metal isn’t possible or when you have more gold than you need for your project and would like to apply the excess as a credit toward your project. Each of these methods, recycling your jewellery, repairing your jewellery or refining your jewellery will help to stretch your custom jewellery budget. In most cases you will only be paying for labour costs and not materials costs. And with the price of gold these days that’s going to save you a lot! You know, when I was little my grandparents had an old fridge from the 1930’s in their basement that they used to keep extra food. When they passed away that old fridge was still going 80 years later. I grew up with the idea, as many of us did, that things should be built to last and when they failed they were worth repairing. Somewhere along the way our culture shifted to this idea that newer is better. But now I’m encourage by the resurgence in craft and skilled workers emphasizing quality materials and products that are worth the cost of the labour involved in producing them. While reusing your jewellery or repairing your jewellery does involve labour costs, those costs are worth it to preserve your pieces for the next generation. Whether they are in their original form and repaired or in a new form by being recycled. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Custom Jewellery, Jewellery Education **Tags:** custom jewellery, custom jewelry, reuse your jewellery, reusing jewellery, reusing jewelry --- ### [Garnet Gemstones](https://suzannecrudden.com/10634/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** ## Garnet Gemstones: More than Just January's Birthstone ### Garnet Quick Facts - garnet is available in many colours but most commonly red, orange, yellow, purple and green - garnet is rarely treated, the colour and clarity of garnet is all natural - garnet is a relatively soft stone, it has roughly the same hardness as glass - it is best used in a pendant, earrings or cocktail (occasional wear) rings ### Why I Love Garnet My dad was born in January. He wasn’t really a winter person and I don’t think he much liked having his birthday during the cold months. But one thing he did seem to like was his birthstone. He had a yellow gold and garnet ring that he wore all of the time. The wear and tear of everyday life slowly started to soften the facet edges of the stone. But rather than make the ring less beautiful, I feel like the wear made the ring even more special. It was like the ring experienced the same life and took it in. I love that ring. So I’ve always had an appreciation for garnet gemstones. But once I became a jeweller I found an even greater appreciation. I had no idea of all of the varieties and colours of garnet! But isn’t garnet just a deep red, you say? Oh no, there’s much more to this stone than the classic colour we all have in our mind. Let’s have a closer look together. ### What is a Garnet? Garnet gemstones are actually a group with many sub species. They are all very similar minerals but have slightly different chemical compositions and are grouped together because their crystal structures are so alike. Most varieties are very common and are found all over the world. But there are also some very rare kinds of garnets that are pretty fascinating. Typically the subspecies of garnets are split into two groups. Pyrope, almandine and spessartine form one group and grossular, andradite and uvarovite form the other. Pyrope and almandine garnet are typically what we think of when we think of garnet, a stone ranging in hue from reddish brown to deep red to reddish purple. Spessartine is rarer and can range in colour from deep red to orange-red to orange. A true orange is the most prized colour. ### Garnet Gemstones Used in Jewellery #### Mozambique Garnet I would wager that Mozambique garnet is what most of us think about when we think about garnet, that deep, dark red colour. Whereas most people would just call this “garnet”, jewellers call these garnets Mozambique garnets in order to distinguish them from other varieties. Obviously some of the most prized samples of this kind of garnet come from Mozambique. Mozambique garnet is most often a combination of the pyrope and almandine varieties of garnet. This is the traditional colour on the birthstone lists. But, if you’re not a fan, keep reading! [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Mozambique-Garnet-700x600.jpg "Mozambique Garnet - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Mozambique-Garnet-700x600.jpg) #### Rhodolite Garnet Rholodite garnet is one of my favourite garnet gemstones. It’s from the pyrope group of garnets and the colour can range from reddish pink to pink to reddish purple. I call them raspberry garnets. I have this rhodolite garnet that I’m planning to make into a stunner of a cocktail ring! [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Rhodolite-scaled-e1742509842369-700x600.jpg "Rhodolite - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Rhodolite-scaled-e1742509842369-700x600.jpg) #### Spessartine Garnet Spessartine garnet is one garnet, I will admit, I have not had much experience with. They are from (you guessed it) the spessartine group, are found all over the world and tend to be coloured in the red to orange to yellow spectrum. What I find most interesting is the category of blue pyrope-spessartine garnets that are colour change stones. Colour change garnets change from blue-green to purple depending on the colour temperature of the light. All colour change stones are very rare and usually much more expensive. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Website-Images-1-1.png "Website Images (1) - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Website-Images-1-1.png) #### Hessonite Garnet Hessonite garnet is typically found in orange hues ranging from orangey-yellow to orangey-red. Sometimes it’s called a cinnamon stone. A hessonite garnet is from the grossular sub species of garnets. I’ve had a few really pretty hessonite garnets over the years. I still have one that I’ve been mulling over ideas for but haven’t quite had the time to make into something. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Hessonite-scaled-e1742510100822-700x600.jpg "Hessonite - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Hessonite-scaled-e1742510100822-700x600.jpg) #### Tsavorite Garnet What in the heck is tsavorite and, more importantly, how do you pronounce it? The answer to the first question is it’s a green garnet from the grossular garnet group. The answer to the last question is, just drop the “T”. It was first discovered in the Tsavo region of Kenya, hence the name. Sometimes it has been used in place of emerald due to it’s similar brilliant green and because tsavorite is less brittle than emerald, although less hard. High quality tsavorite is not always a less expensive choice than emerald. It’s actually 200 times more rare than emerald. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tsavorite-1-scaled-700x600.jpg "Tsavorite (1) - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Tsavorite-1-scaled-700x600.jpg) #### Demantoid Garnet This is my other favourite garnet. Partly because of the name and partly because it’s so sparkly. Demantoid garnet is the green variety of andradite and is very rare. It has a very high refractive index meaning it has a similar play of colour to diamonds. It is also slightly magnetic due to the iron content. I have a pair of green demantoid garnet stud earrings in the [shop](https://suzannecrudden.com/product/demantoid-garnet-earrings/) that I set in 14k green gold that I just love. I think that’s the key. Make sure you love everything you make so that if they never sell you have a wonderful jewellery collection one day!

One way is to use certified recycled metal. Another, which I employ most often, is to reuse heirloom jewellery. ## Recycled Gold Wedding Rings Goldsmiths have always recycled gold since the beginning of the trade. What is left over after a project, the “scrap”, is collected for refinement or use in another project. We even collect the gold dust! When creating a new piece, not from existing heirloom or scrap gold, I use SCS-Certified 100% recycled metal. Other recycled precious metals such as platinum and sterling silver are also available. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/geometric-diamond-yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set.jpeg-700x600.jpg "geometric diamond yellow gold wedding ring set.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/geometric-diamond-yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set.jpeg-700x600.jpg) ### Reusing Jewellery in your Wedding Rings Why take anything else from the earth if you don’t have to? Reusing your heirloom jewellery is not just a great ethical choice, it’s also a deeply meaningful choice. Wedding rings and heirloom jewellery are often passed down but sometimes they are not wearable. Perhaps the style is not to your liking, perhaps it doesn’t fit, perhaps there are some stones missing. Whatever the reason you are not wearing your heirloom pieces, it’s a shame to keep them tucked away. They are meant to be worn and enjoyed, to celebrate memories as you create your own. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/various-yellow-gold-wedding-bands-1-700x600.jpg "various yellow gold wedding bands - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/various-yellow-gold-wedding-bands-1-700x600.jpg) ### How to Create Recycled Gold Wedding Rings Using Your Heirloom Jewellery #### What Kinds of Gold Work to Reuse? The best kind of gold to reuse is yellow. The alloy of yellow gold is the most conducive to re-melting without issues. I’ve reused 10k, 14k, 18k and pure gold with fantastic results. I’ve also had success with re-melting white and rose gold although those alloys tend to be more problematic. White gold is a brittle alloy and when it is re-melted there is a greater chance of porosity (small air bubbles) in the casting. It is best re-used in an organic ring such as a hammered or textured wedding band. Rose gold tends to be brittle when re-cast as well and have the same potential issues as white gold. #### What if my Heirloom Jewellery isn't the Same Colour of Gold that I Want in my Wedding Ring? In this case then we can use your pieces as credit toward the project. Unfortunately we can’t change gold from one colour to another. Unless you have 24k pure gold in which case we would be able to alloy it to the colour of your choice. ### What if I Want to Add Other Metal or Gemstones to my Wedding Ring in Addition to my Heirloom Material? If you would like to add additional materials to your wedding band, that’s no problem! For example in this picture we reused the 10k yellow gold to create the “stripes” and added palladium white gold for the base. Or if you have heirloom gemstones you’d like to reuse in your ring we can harvest them and reuse them in your wedding bands. Sometimes smaller stones are harder to remove from their original settings. Ideally it’s best to reuse gemstones that are 2mm or larger.

Generally speaking you will receive a savings of 50% when compared to a new ring if you are reusing your jewellery. I’ve written more about what to expect [here](https://suzannecrudden.com/reusing-jewellery-what-does-it-cost/) if you’re considering reusing your heirloom pieces in your wedding bands. #### What are the Benefits of Using My Jewellery to Create My Recycled Gold Wedding Rings? First and foremost you will be carrying your precious heirloom jewellery with you everyday in the form that you are comfortable with. Next, there is an obvious financial benefit. And finally it is an ethical and environmentally responsible choice. Sounds like a good idea to me!

There are many styles of men’s wedding bands and ways to customize them. Are you a classic man that likes a simple high-polished yellow gold wedding band? Perhaps you’ve spent a lot of time on designing the perfect engagement ring and want to get in on the fun yourself?! I personally love a classic wedding band: the subtle curves of a half-round shape and a high polish finish, oh-lala! But I also love to design something special that may include a gemstone or a custom finish to the surface. A lot of men don’t know the options available to them. So use this as a guide to help narrow your likes and dislikes. ### Gold and Platinum Wedding Bands Gold and platinum wedding bands are the most popular choice when choosing a wedding ring. One must consider the longevity of the ring: it needs to last a lifetime. Different karats of gold can be used depending on budget and lifestyle of the wearer. For example: if you plan to wear your wedding band everyday and you use your hands a lot, you may wish to use a lower karat gold so it is more durable for everyday wear. If you like to see a patina develop or like the feel of a heavier piece of jewellery you will want to consider Platinum. Both platinum and gold wedding bands will stand the test of time and are often passed down from one generation to the next as they are easily sized and refurbished. We recommend trying on wedding bands in different metals, widths and sizes to see how it looks on your hand. Skin tone and hand proportion can play a role in what suits your hand. And since this will be something you wear everyday, this should be considered. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/plain-wedding-bands.jpg "plain wedding bands - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/plain-wedding-bands.jpg) ### Unique and Artisanal Wedding Band Finishes There are many finishes that can applied to the surface of a wedding band. You can check some of them out [here](https://suzannecrudden.com/wedding-band-portfolio/). Some surface treatments last longer than others depending on how much they are carved/engraved into the surface. A high polish finish requires the least amount of maintenance over the years. It may get a little dull overtime with some scratches but it is easily polished if needed. When it comes to giving metal a surface treatment (matte, satin, oxidised, grit) the one with the best longevity is a true grit finish. In this style, a steel bur is used to engrave the surface of the metal. The metal is burred away leaving permanent carvings into the wedding band. One may find that the other finishes like a matte, satin or oxidised finish my need maintenance over the years. The art of hand engraving wedding bands is as old as the trade of jewellery making itself. It requires a specialised skill set and is usually performed by a highly trained individual with years of experience. Each metal performs a bit differently when being engraved and thus, creates a slightly different result. For example, Platinum produces a stunning result due to it’s malleability. It allows the crafts person a unique working canvas to carve and move the metal exactly as the design dictates. Lower karats of gold are harder to engrave due to the alloy content making the materials springy or hard. A similar result can be achieved, the engraver just needs to work a bit harder.

They are less expensive then gold and platinum and offer some interesting finishes that can’t be achieved with traditional materials. There are however some drawbacks to consider. Wedding bands made from Titanium and Tungsten cannot be re-sized. They are also hard to remove in an emergency as they cannot be as easily removed or cut off as precious metals. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/alternative-metal-rings-700x600.jpg "alternative metal rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/alternative-metal-rings-700x600.jpg) ### All in the Fine Print Engraving on the inside of a wedding band is a beautiful way to commemorate your wedding date but you can engrave almost anything! There are a few different ways to engrave wedding bands: hand engraving, laser engraving and machine engraving. Hand engraving produces a result that will last decades. This is because the crafts person can deeply carve into the metal. Often, hand engraving can take more time to complete as there aren’t many people with this skill set. It’s not the best choice for all you last minute planners! It is also the most costly option but when thinking about something you will have forever, I would argue the cost is worth it. Engraving wedding bands can be completed by laser as well. This is a quick and inexpensive option. There are hundreds of fonts to choose from and symbols can also be engraved. Laser engraving does not carve very deeply into the surface of the metal so it will wear away faster over time. Lastly, machine engraving is a middle of the road alternative in terms of cost and result. It is quite limited in terms of the fonts and sizes available but it carves into the metal well producing a result similar to hand engraving.

A texture is anything that is applied to the surface of the ring. This can include a hammered texture, a grit texture, a patterned texture etc. We find the most popular is the hammered texture or the rock finished texture. The rock finish is a version of the hammered texture but with larger facets. An example is shown in the picture here. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rock-texture-white-gold-wedding-band-2-700x600.jpg "rock texture white gold wedding band - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rock-texture-white-gold-wedding-band-2-700x600.jpg) ### Men's Wedding Bands with Diamonds and Gemstones Another very popular style is the textured men’s wedding band. A texture is anything that is applied to the surface of the ring. This can include a hammered texture, a grit texture, a patterned texture etc. We find the most popular is the hammered texture or the rock finished texture. The rock finish is a version of the hammered texture but with larger facets. An example is shown in the picture here.

Typically a classic men’s wedding band will be either half round in profile or flat in profile. Other interesting profiles you could select are knife edge, squared off, a drop edge, grooved, etc. Check out our inspiration gallery below for different profile options as well as examples of other types of bands that we’ve discussed above.

In the past, the idea of an eternity ring was very heavily marketed as “the” anniversary ring. Often this was because the traditional wedding band was solid gold with no gemstones and the, so called, diamond band was to be purchased later for an anniversary. An eternity ring typically has diamonds set all of the way around the ring to symbolize eternity or a never ending circle. The only problem is that eternity rings are not able to be sized. This led to the half eternity ring becoming popularized. The half eternity ring has diamonds set only half to three-quarters of the way around the ring so that it can still be re-sized if it becomes necessary in the future. ### Matching Anniversary Rings Sometimes, it has also been traditional to make a duplicate of the wedding band as an anniversary ring. The idea is to wear matching bands on each side to act as a frame for the engagement ring. We’ve found that there are still a number of people who prefer this look but, over all, it’s not as popular as it was in the past. ## Custom Anniversary Rings How do you know when you should create a custom anniversary ring rather than purchase a traditional anniversary ring? There may be a number of reasons and we’ll take a look at a few here. ### Unique Anniversary Rings [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/baguette-diamond-halo-ring-in-yellow-gold.jpeg-400x300.jpg "baguette diamond halo ring in yellow gold.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/baguette-diamond-halo-ring-in-yellow-gold.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-carat-emerald-cut-diamond-knife-edge-double-prong-ring-400x300.jpg "two carat emerald cut diamond knife edge double prong ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/two-carat-emerald-cut-diamond-knife-edge-double-prong-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bezel-set-diamond-yellow-gold-anniversary-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "bezel set diamond yellow gold anniversary ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bezel-set-diamond-yellow-gold-anniversary-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/light-blue-sapphire-three-stone-mens-ring-with-trapezoid-diamonds.jpeg-400x300.jpg "light blue sapphire three stone mens ring with trapezoid diamonds.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/light-blue-sapphire-three-stone-mens-ring-with-trapezoid-diamonds.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/16x16mm-cushion-cut-moissanite-platinum-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "16x16mm cushion cut moissanite platinum ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/16x16mm-cushion-cut-moissanite-platinum-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green-sapphire-and-diamond-five-stone-white-gold-ring-400x300.jpg "green sapphire and diamond five stone white gold ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/green-sapphire-and-diamond-five-stone-white-gold-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-pear-aquamarine-white-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "elongated pear aquamarine white gold diamond ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-pear-aquamarine-white-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/purple-spinel-half-moon-diamond-white-gold-three-stone-ring-400x300.jpg "purple spinel half moon diamond white gold three stone ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/purple-spinel-half-moon-diamond-white-gold-three-stone-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-baguette-green-tourmaline-yellow-gold-threestone-ring-400x300.jpg "elongated baguette green tourmaline yellow gold threestone ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/elongated-baguette-green-tourmaline-yellow-gold-threestone-ring.jpg) For people looking for custom anniversary rings the usual reason is because they can’t find what they want in the marketplace. They are looking for something unique and different. There are no rules about what you should get for an anniversary ring anymore. For example, the stacked ring look is very trendy these days. Often these stacked bands will have an entirely different design, gemstone or metal colour than the original wedding band. Stacking ring sets let people express their personal style and can provide more versatility in how the set is worn. More often recently, we are also seeing people who are looking for a more impactful or statement-like anniversary ring. Perhaps incorporating a gemstone or diamond that the person has been admiring for a long time. ### Meaningful Anniversary Rings [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Diamond-emerald-three-stone-celtric-trinity-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "Diamond emerald three stone celtric trinity engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Diamond-emerald-three-stone-celtric-trinity-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/celtic-druid-awen-symbol-birthstone-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "celtic druid awen symbol birthstone ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/celtic-druid-awen-symbol-birthstone-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/art-deco-inspired-family-birthstone-ring-with-engraving.jpeg-400x300.jpg "art deco inspired family birthstone ring with engraving.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/art-deco-inspired-family-birthstone-ring-with-engraving.jpeg.jpg) This is the number one reason that most people seek us out for custom anniversary rings. They want to create something really special and symbolic to mark a milestone anniversary. We’ve had clients ask us to insert a motif that represents a symbolic connection or shared memory between the couple. Another idea is to use a specific number or specific kinds of gemstones that have a meaningful message. If you want to custom create a meaningful anniversary ring, it really is the thought that counts. ### Custom Anniversary Rings that Re-use Heirloom Jewellery [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-rounded-mens-yellow-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "wide rounded mens yellow gold diamond ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-rounded-mens-yellow-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sapphire-and-diamond-threestone-ring-scaled-400x300.jpeg "sapphire and diamond threestone ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sapphire-and-diamond-threestone-ring-scaled.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Wide-diamond-vintage-inspired-palladium-white-gold-right-hand-ring-400x300.jpg "Wide diamond vintage inspired palladium white gold right hand ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Wide-diamond-vintage-inspired-palladium-white-gold-right-hand-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/split-shank-diamond-marquise-bezel-set-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "split shank diamond marquise bezel set ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/split-shank-diamond-marquise-bezel-set-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-diamond-white-gold-right-hand-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "wide diamond white gold right hand ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-diamond-white-gold-right-hand-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/twist-yellow-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "twist yellow gold diamond ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/twist-yellow-gold-diamond-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rounded-profile-bezel-set-diamond-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "rounded profile bezel set diamond ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/rounded-profile-bezel-set-diamond-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-and-diamond-bezel-set-rings.jpeg-400x300.jpg "emerald and diamond bezel set rings.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-and-diamond-bezel-set-rings.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bezel-set-art-deco-inspired-white-gold-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "bezel set art deco inspired white gold ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bezel-set-art-deco-inspired-white-gold-ring.jpeg.jpg) If you’d like to further invest meaning in an anniversary ring, you may choose to re-use heirloom jewellery. We’ve had people bring in the rings of their partner that are no longer worn or fit in order to create something new. Or, sometimes, it is jewellery that has been passed down and has special meaning that we reuse to create the new anniversary ring. By reusing heirloom jewellery we are able to give it new life and add an extra layer of meaning to the new ring. ### Custom Anniversary Gifts [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/tahitian-pearl-white-gold-diamond-pendantjpeg-400x300.jpg "tahitian pearl white gold diamond pendantjpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/tahitian-pearl-white-gold-diamond-pendantjpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/infinity-diamond-white-gold-pendant-400x300.jpg "infinity diamond white gold pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/infinity-diamond-white-gold-pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sapphire-and-diamond-station-necklace-with-pendant.jpeg-400x300.jpg "sapphire and diamond station necklace with pendant.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/sapphire-and-diamond-station-necklace-with-pendant.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/radiant-cut-blue-sapphire-and-diamond-pendant-400x300.jpg "radiant cut blue sapphire and diamond pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/radiant-cut-blue-sapphire-and-diamond-pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Rose-Gold-and-Diamond-Heart-Stud-Earrings-with-Engraved-Initials-400x300.jpg "Rose Gold and Diamond Heart Stud Earrings with Engraved Initials - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Rose-Gold-and-Diamond-Heart-Stud-Earrings-with-Engraved-Initials.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-tahitian-cultured-pearl-and-diamond-gold-necklace.jpeg-400x300.jpg "three tahitian cultured pearl and diamond gold necklace.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-tahitian-cultured-pearl-and-diamond-gold-necklace.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Yellow-Gold-Ruby-Diamond-Journey-Pendant-400x300.jpg "Yellow Gold Ruby Diamond Journey Pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Yellow-Gold-Ruby-Diamond-Journey-Pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-diamond-journey-pendant.jpeg-400x300.jpg "yellow gold diamond journey pendant.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-diamond-journey-pendant.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/vine-leaf-flower-pierced-open-emerald-and-diamond-cuff-bracelet-400x300.jpg "vine leaf flower pierced open emerald and diamond cuff bracelet - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/vine-leaf-flower-pierced-open-emerald-and-diamond-cuff-bracelet.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/triullium-flower-white-gold-and-yellow-sapphire-pendant-400x300.jpg "triullium flower white gold and yellow sapphire pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/triullium-flower-white-gold-and-yellow-sapphire-pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-channel-set-diamond-mens-yellow-gold-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "wide channel set diamond mens yellow gold ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-channel-set-diamond-mens-yellow-gold-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/anniversary-earrings-400x300.jpg "anniversary earrings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/anniversary-earrings.jpg) Sometimes we will use a gemstone that has been provided by the client that they picked up on a trip with their partner. Sometimes our clients will provide us with a very specific idea that they have in mind which we further refine. In each case, there is always a deeper level of meaning represented that is significant to the couple. Again, the most important thing is that the gift is a symbolic representation of a couple’s journey together. #### Still Have Questions?

Traditionally accompanied with gifts, large or small, but always thoughtful. A macaroni necklace made by a child can be just as valuable to a mother as a necklace made of gold. What is important is the meaning. This is why custom mother’s day jewellery is such a great idea for a Mother’s Day gift. Lasting, heirloom quality jewellery invested with meaning. Custom Mother’s Day jewellery doesn’t have to be studded with diamonds to be meaningful. For example, we could cast one of those pieces of pasta from a macaroni necklace in silver so it lasts forever. In this post we’re going to take a look at custom Mother’s Day jewellery ideas that are both thoughtful and meaningful. ## Custom Mother's Day Jewellery: Necklace Ideas We’ve found that necklaces or pendants are a very popular gift for Mother’s Day. Likely because they are easy to wear everyday and sit close to the heart. ### Birthstone Necklaces [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_6125-scaled-400x300.jpg "IMG_6125 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_6125-scaled.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flush-set-birthstone-pendant-400x300.png "flush set birthstone pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flush-set-birthstone-pendant.png) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/amethyst-emerald-and-diamond-cluster-pendant.jpeg-400x300.jpg "amethyst emerald and diamond cluster pendant.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/amethyst-emerald-and-diamond-cluster-pendant.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/birthstones-mothers-day-pendant-400x300.png "birthstones mothers day pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/birthstones-mothers-day-pendant.png) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silver-Mobius-Family-Birthstone-Pendant-400x300.jpg "Silver Mobius Family Birthstone Pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silver-Mobius-Family-Birthstone-Pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/branch-birthstone-pendant-400x300.png "branch birthstone pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/branch-birthstone-pendant.png) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/family-sister-necklace-scaled-400x300.jpeg "family sister necklace - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/family-sister-necklace-scaled.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Family-Birthstone-Emerald-Silver-Pendant-400x300.jpg "Family Birthstone Emerald Silver Pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Family-Birthstone-Emerald-Silver-Pendant.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/family-birthstone-sliding-bezel-necklace.jpeg-400x300.jpg "family birthstone sliding bezel necklace.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/family-birthstone-sliding-bezel-necklace.jpeg.jpg) ### Personalized Necklaces There are many ways to include a special touch of personalization in a necklace. You could include names or initials. You could include an engraving of a fingerprint. You could even scan a piece of your child’s artwork or handwriting that we could then engrave on a pendant.

It is an especially popular gift for adult children to give to their mother, or a husband to give to a wife. Usually these rings contain the birthstones of the family. The nice thing about a family ring is that it doesn’t have to adhere to a certain style. This gives us the opportunity to include, not only personal style preferences, but thoughtful, symbolic touches in the ring.

There are certainly a number of charm-type bracelets that are very popular. Although you could say that charm bracelets are personalized, it’s more of a generic personalization. To add more meaning, you could use some of the ideas above such as custom engraving, birthstones or fingerprints. Earrings seem to be less popular for Mother’s Day in particular, although they are very popular as a gift for other special occasions. As with anything, the sky is the limit.

Whether you’re looking for a gift for a high school, college or university graduate, we’ve collected some great graduation jewellery gift ideas. ### Rings Some educational institutions may have their own “grad rings” available for purchase. But, if not, a ring is a wonderful gift for graduation because it can easily be worn everyday. Signet rings come in many styles, shapes and metals. From wide, chunky and geometric to slim, dainty and curved. You could choose to set stones in a signet ring, leave them plain or engrave them with the graduates initials. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/horizontal-oval-gold-signet-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg "horizontal oval gold signet ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/horizontal-oval-gold-signet-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg) ### Necklace with Initial Pendant A delicate necklace featuring the graduate’s initial is a simple and personal gift. It can be worn every day and serves as a reminder of their achievement. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silver-Letter-A-Pendant-with-Gemstone-700x600.jpg "Silver Letter A Pendant with Gemstone - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Silver-Letter-A-Pendant-with-Gemstone-700x600.jpg) ### Bracelet with Engraving A bracelet engraved with the graduate’s name, graduation date, or a meaningful quote is a beautiful and sentimental gift. They can wear it on special occasions or as a daily accessory.

It adds a personal touch and can be incorporated into rings, necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/peridot-emerald-diamond-family-pendant-e1742680832600-700x600.jpg "peridot emerald diamond family pendant - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/peridot-emerald-diamond-family-pendant-e1742680832600-700x600.jpg) ### Inspirational Message Choose a pendant or bracelet and engrave an inspiring message or symbol that resonates with the graduate’s aspirations. It could be a compass, a key, or a word like “dream,” “courage,” or “believe.” [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/engraveable-pendants-and-bracelets-2-700x600.png "engraveable pendants and bracelets (2) - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/engraveable-pendants-and-bracelets-2-700x600.png) ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Two-Tone-Engraved-Diamond-Latin-Bangles-300x300.jpg "Two Tone Engraved Diamond Latin Bangles - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ### Pearl Earrings or Necklace Pearl earrings, a pearl necklace or an earring and necklace set are a traditional graduation gift. Pearls are timeless and versatile. A pair of pearl earrings can be worn on formal occasions or dressed down for everyday wear so they will get lots of use. The same is true for a pearl necklace although they do tend to be reserved for special occasions. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pearl-silk-knotted-necklace-with-white-gold-clasp.jpeg-700x600.jpg "pearl silk knotted necklace with white gold clasp.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pearl-silk-knotted-necklace-with-white-gold-clasp.jpeg-700x600.jpg) ### Customized Cufflinks Customized cufflinks can also be a great gift for the sophisticated grad. You could engrave them with their initials, graduation year, or a special message. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/engravable-cufflinks.jpeg-700x600.jpg "engravable cufflinks.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/engravable-cufflinks.jpeg-700x600.jpg) ### Final Thoughts on Graduation Jewellery Gift Ideas When looking for graduation jewellery gift ideas, remember to consider the graduate’s personal style and preferences. It might also be a good idea to consider the significance of the jewellery piece you choose. For example, a parent may want to invest in a higher cost gold ring whereas extended family members may choose an engraved gift in silver. Although no less meaningful, a silver gift will be less costly than a gold gift.

Signet rings hold a special place as cherished piece that often transcends generations. These rings, with their unique design and engraving, carry with them a rich history, steeped in tradition and symbolism. Here we are going to explore the world of signet rings and discover their history, significance, and enduring appeal. ### History of Signet Rings Signet rings trace their origins back to ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Initially, these rings were used as practical tools rather than mere fashion statements. The word “signet” is derived from the Latin word “signum,” meaning sign or seal. Signet rings were used as seals, serving as a personal signature or a mark of authority when pressed onto wax or clay. They played a vital role in official correspondence, legal documents, and the authentication of important messages. Signet rings were used by nobility, clergy, and powerful people throughout history to show authority and social status. In ancient Rome, signet rings were a symbol of aristocracy and worn by political and military leaders. During the Renaissance, when all things classical became popular again, so did signet rings. The design of signet rings was usually flat or slightly convex bezel and traditionally made of metal, such as gold, silver, or platinum. The bezel featured an engraved emblem, typically a family crest, monogram, initials, or a symbol. The engraving on the bezel was often embossed or intaglio, allowing it to create an impression when pressed into something soft. ### Significance of Signet Rings One of the defining features of signet rings is their ability to be customized. The engraving on the bezel is usually very personal, reflecting the wearer’s individuality, heritage, or affiliation with a particular group or organization (for example Mason’s or a school ring). Family crests and coats of arms are also common as well as monograms and initials. These engravings tie generations together and make signet rings cherished heirlooms that are usually passed down. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Family-Crest-Signet-Rings.jpeg.jpg "Family Crest Signet Rings.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Family-Crest-Signet-Rings.jpeg.jpg) ### The Enduring Appeal of Signet Rings Signet rings combine history, function and style which is why their appeal endures. From those who prefer bold and heavy rings to those who prefer rings more dainty and streamlined, signet rings offer a wide range of designs for any gender or age. In recent years, signet rings have become trendy again. We’ve noticed that the shape of signet rings alone draw people in and they even choose to not have them engraved. Even if you purchase a blank signet ring because you just like the way it looks, you can always have it engraved later. In years past a signet ring was a traditional graduation gift. Due in part to its history as a culturally significant piece of jewellery, it’s no wonder that it became an appropriate gift to give to mark a milestone. Now, in addition to graduations, signet rings are often given as gifts to mark many different milestones such as: significant birthday years, a gift to a Best Man or Maid of Honour and Father’s Day. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/signet-ring-with-initials-reused-gold.jpeg-275x270.jpg "signet ring with initials reused gold.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/signet-ring-with-initials-reused-gold.jpeg-275x270.jpg) ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/engraved-initial-signet-diamond-memoriam-ring-e1742847716765-300x300.jpg "engraved initial signet diamond memoriam ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ### Signet Rings of any Size While traditionally signet rings have been quite large, signet rings can be dainty too. If you’re looking for something smaller for a pinky finger or for a small hand, a smaller signet ring could be just the thing. Almost any signet ring style can be scaled down into something smaller. The only issue to consider is that there will necessarily be less surface area to add personalized engraving. It’s best to keep the personalization less detailed on a smaller signet ring. At [Posy Fine Jewellery](http://www.posyfinejewellery.com) we are advocates of [reusing jewellery](https://suzannecrudden.com/reuse-old-jewellery/) and we’ve had the honour of reusing heirloom signet rings to create new rings for the next generation. With their intricate engravings, meaningful designs, and timeless elegance, it’s no wonder that signet rings have stood the test of time. These rings represent a sense of personal history and connection to the past that we can forward with us as we navigate this ever-changing, complex world of ours. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Custom Jewellery, Gifts, Jewellery Education **Tags:** gift, graduation, men's fashion, men's ring, men's style, personalized jewellery, personalized jewelry --- ### [Understanding the Differences Between Gold Vermeil, Gold Plate and Gold Fill Jewellery](https://suzannecrudden.com/understanding-the-differences-between-gold-vermeil-gold-plate-and-gold-fill-jewellery/) **Published:** March 24, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** First, the most important thing to understand is that gold vermeil, gold plate and gold fill jewellery **is not** gold jewellery. Pieces of jewellery that use these descriptions are typically costume or semi-precious pieces. While they all incorporate a gold colour into their design, these pieces are not made of solid gold and the terms denote different processes. We wanted to explore the differences between gold vermeil, gold plate, and gold fill jewellery in this post because we find many of our clients are confused by the terminology. It’s also important information to know so that you can make informed decisions about your purchases. ### Gold Vermeil Jewellery Gold vermeil, pronounced “ver-may,” is a term that denotes a specific type of gold plating process. To qualify as vermeil, the jewellery must meet certain criteria: 1. The base metal underneath the gold plating is sterling silver. 2. The thickness of the gold vermeil jewellery is thicker than typical gold plated pieces, usually 2.5 microns. 3. The purity of the gold plating that is used to plate gold vermeil jewellery is usually 10-24 karats but typically 14k or 18k. 4. Because gold vermeil jewellery is plated with a thicker layer of jewellery it will take longer for the plating to wear away. 5. Because gold vermeil has a base of sterling silver the jewellery will be stamped 925 or STER or Sterling or similar [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-vermeil-chain-1.png "gold vermeil chain 1 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-vermeil-chain-1.png) Gold vermeil is a good option if you want the colour of gold in your jewellery without the gold price tag. Be prepared, however, for the gold plating to wear off over time. The amount of time it will take depends on how often you wear the piece. If you wear it daily while showering, sleeping, etc., the plating will wear off quicker. If you find that the plating has worn off your favourite piece it is possible in some cases to have it re-plated. An exception would be chains, it is very difficult and not advisable to re-plate chains. ### Gold Plate Jewellery Gold plating is a common technique used to coat a base metal with a thin layer of gold. Key features of gold-plated jewellery include: 1. The base metal under the gold plate can be anything including copper, brass or “white metal” which is what costume jewellery is usually made from 2. The thickness of the gold layer in gold plated jewellery is usually much thinner than in gold vermeil or gold fill jewellery, usually 0.2-0.5 microns 3. Gold plate jewellery can use any karat of gold for the plating process but is typically of a lower karat 4. The type of jewellery that is gold plated is usually very inexpensive 5. Gold plate jewellery may or may not be stamped. If there is a stamp it will have the gold karat number followed by letters such as GP, GE, GEP or HGP standing for (GP) Gold Plate, (GP & GPE) Gold Electroplated, (HGP) Heavy Gold Plate, ie: 18k GP [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-plate-ring-1.png "gold plate ring 1 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-plate-ring-1.png) Gold plated jewellery is not as durable as gold vermeil or gold fill jewellery and will start to wear quickly. As it begins to wear away you may begin to notice skin reactions as the thin layer of gold is no longer providing a barrier between your skin and the low quality metal underneath. It’s best not to invest too much in this type of jewellery as it has a limited lifetime of wear. ### Gold Fill Jewellery Gold fill jewellery is a step up in terms of quality and durability compared to gold plate. Here are the key characteristics of gold fill jewellery: 1. The metal underneath the layer of gold in gold fill jewellery is usually brass 2. The layer of gold is chemically bonded to the brass core resulting in a much thicker layer of gold. The gold content of gold fill jewellery is between 5-10% 3. The purity of the gold in gold fill jewellery can be 14-18k but 14 karat is the most common 4. Because the gold is chemically bonded to the brass core it makes the jewellery piece much more resistant to wear and tarnishing. 5. Gold fill jewellery will typically be stamped with the gold karat number followed by the letters GF, 1/20th 12k, 1/20th 14k or 1/10th 10k [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-fill-wire-1.png "gold fill wire 1 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-fill-wire-1.png) Gold fill jewellery is usually a bit more expensive than gold vermeil or gold plated jewellery but it’s still a very affordable option. It’s probably your best option if you’re looking for the colour of gold and durability at a reasonable price point. Understanding the differences between gold vermeil, gold plate and gold fill jewellery is really important so you can make informed purchasing decisions. Usually the price will tip you off right away. If you’re looking for some fun fashion jewellery then we recommend either gold vermeil or gold fill as long as you are ok with the idea that they will eventually show wear. [If you’re looking to start](https://suzannecrudden.com/request-a-quote/) your permanent jewellery collection with a piece you can wear everyday, there really is no replacement for real gold. It’s more expensive but it’s worth it for a forever piece. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Guides, Jewellery Education **Tags:** costume jewellery, costume jewelry, plated sterling silver, plating --- ### [Your Guide to the Different Types of Jewellery Professionals](https://suzannecrudden.com/your-guide-to-the-different-types-of-jewellery-professionals/) **Published:** March 24, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** ## From goldsmiths to gem setters, from lapidaries to gemmologists, this is your guide to the different types of jewellery professionals. We are lucky in Toronto to have access to such a wide range of jewellery professionals. We know it can be difficult for the average person who is not involved in the industry to understand all of the different specialties. In this article we’re going explore some of the most common jewellery industry professionals and what they do. We will focus on the jewellery professionals involved in the production of fine jewellery. ### History The working of metal is one of the oldest trades in human history. As the centuries progressed, so did specialization. A blacksmith worked iron and steel into swords and horseshoes. A silversmith worked silver into ornamental items such as candlesticks and plate. A goldsmith worked gold into precious jewellery and sacred objects. Although it could be said that all of these people could be referred to as metal workers, it is more accurate to define them in terms of their specialties. In the modern era, the number of specialties in the jewellery industry has increased due to advances in technology. But also because, in our ever more busy world, it just isn’t possible for one person to do everything. ### Goldsmith As mentioned above, goldsmithing is one of the oldest trades. As methods and skill became more refined during medieval times, the apprenticeship system emerged as the main method of passing on knowledge. The apprenticeship model is still an option but there are also now trade schools that teach goldsmithing. We are graduates of the [George Brown Jewellery Program](https://www.georgebrown.ca/programs/jewellery-methods-program-f110) which we highly recommend! The training to become a Goldsmith includes learning to work and manipulate all precious metals. Despite not be included in the profession title, a goldsmith works with all noble metals including silver, gold and platinum. A goldsmith education will also include basic gemmology instruction, stone setting, wax carving, mold making and casting. A good way to think about a goldsmith is as the “general practioner” of jewellery. They will often have another jewellery specialty or two in addition to being a trained goldsmith. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/scroll-engraved-mens-wedding-ring.jpeg-746x736.jpg "scroll engraved mens wedding ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/scroll-engraved-mens-wedding-ring.jpeg-746x736.jpg) ### Hand Engraver A hand engraver is trained in the art of engraving in metal. And it truly is an art. A master hand engraver will often create intricate patterns of their own design. Learning to use steel tools to delicately carve into the metal without making a mistake is quite a skill! The labour and skill required to hand engrave is immense. It is not surprising then that it is much more expensive than designing an engraved pattern in the computer or using a laser for engraving. ### Gem Setter As the title suggests, a gem setter specializes in setting gemstones into mountings such as rings, pendants and earrings. A gem setter is also usually a trained goldsmith but focuses on the part of the process that involves gem setting. This is a skill that requires many years to master. There are also many different types of gem setting and each one requires different methods. Knowledge of gemology is also a must. Gem setting is a skill that requires time, focus and precision. For that reason some goldsmiths will choose to specialize in gem setting and leave the overall production of the jewellery pieces to someone else. ### Casting Casting is the process of taking a jewellery piece from a wax model to metal. While some goldsmith’s will have their casting facilities in house, many choose to use a casting house. The process of casting is very time consuming with many steps. It also requires a lot of energy use so it makes sense to use a facility instead. All major cities will have a casting house. We have multiple excellent choices available to us Toronto. ### CAD Artists A new jewellery professional has arisen in the 21st century. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software like Rhino is used in a wide variety of industries to construct digital models. In the jewellery industry CAD artists use this computer program to design a model of a jewellery piece. Once the piece has been created, the file of that item is used to print a model in wax. This wax model is then used in the casting process to create an exact replica of the original design. While some may regret the loss of traditional techniques, CAD has allowed for an explosion in custom options. Whereas in the past the labour involved in some designs may have been too cost prohibitive, CAD now allows us to create with freedom. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cad-and-render-layout-275x270.png "cad and render layout - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cad-and-render-layout-275x270.png) ### Jewellery Designer The title jewellery designer is a catch all term that does not describe any particular specialization. The category is just too wide to be helpful. A person may call themselves a jewellery designer with absolutely no training in jewellery whatsoever. We include it here because it can be sometimes used to describe jewellery professionals such as goldsmiths creating [custom jewellery](https://suzannecrudden.com/custom-jewellery/) or CAD artists. It is essential that the designer of a piece of fine jewellery has been trained as a goldsmith. When using expensive metals and precious gemstones, the piece must be well designed and constructed to last. You don’t want the piece falling apart or the gemstone falling out! ### Watch Makers Horology is another trade with a significant and storied history. While broadly placed under the category of jewellery, watch making and repair requires an entirely different type of education and training. It is also often associated with the tool and dye trade. ### Enamellist An enamellist is someone that works with glass and metal. Jewellery professionals that specialize in enamel will have a lot of colour in their work. This colour is glass that has been incorporated into their design. An easy way to know if someone is an enamellist is if their work includes a colour that is not produced by either metal or gemstones! ### Lapidaries Lapidaries specialize in working with gemstones. Their expertise is in cutting, shaping, and polishing precious stones. The more complicated the cutting required for a gemstone, the more skilled the lapidary required. For example, a facetted gemstone requires much more expertise than a cabochon (rounded stone with no facet edges). A lapidary may go to school for training or learn as an apprentice. Precision and skill are the hallmarks of this profession and they require years to master. ### Gemologists Gemologists are trained to identify, grade, and assess gemstones. Education in gemology is available in some post secondary schools. But, certification is issued only after testing is completed successfully by a recognized institution such as the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (GEM-A) or the Gemology Institute of America (GIA). A gemologist could seek a job outside of the industry but many choose to become jewellery professionals such as appraisers or gemstone suppliers. ### Why it's Important to Speak to Jewellery Professionals One of the benefits of working directly with one of these jewellery professionals is that you know they are an authority in their field. In a corporate retail jewellery space, most of the individuals you will encounter do not have the expertise or training of a professional. By speaking with a person with experience and training, you can be confident that you are receiving accurate information. In addition to accurate information you can ensure that the piece you are making will be designed properly, using quality materials, and finished & set skillfully to last a lifetime. In our experience, professionals in our industry love talking about jewellery so much that you will have a hard time getting them to stop! That is definitely true for us.

The term “carat” is a word that everyone knows is associated with the size gemstones and diamonds. It’s even one of the four “C’s” of diamonds. But, what is a carat? The short answer is that a carat is a weight measurement not a dimensional measurement. But, there’s much more to the story that we are going to explore. ### The Origin of the Word Carat The word “carat” comes from the word carob. Historically, carob seeds were used by merchants as counterweights on balance scales. The carob seeds were particularly useful for determining the value of materials involved in the jewellery trade such as diamonds, gemstones and gold. It’s important to note that the word “carat” is sometimes also used in place of “karat” when referring to gold purity. This can be confusing because karat is a fractional measurement of gold purity and is not a weight measurement. Carat weight measurement and karat gold purity are not the same thing. These terms are not interchangeable. ### The Significance of Carob Seeds Carob trees have a fruit that looks like a brown pea pod. There is evidence of people using carob pods and seeds for various purposes going back to ancient Greece. The seeds, also known as carats, have a fairly uniform weight of around 0.2 grams. Historically this relative uniformity was close enough to provide a reliable standard. They were also easily available so carob seeds became the simplest method of weighing gemstones for trade. Today, carob seeds are used primarily as an additive in food and as a substitute for chocolate flavouring. Although native to the Mediterranean region, carob trees can now be found all over the world. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carob-seeds.png "carob seeds - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carob-seeds.png) ### How Carats Evolved The tricky part is that, although everyone used carats as a weight measurement, everyone had a different interpretation of what constituted a carat. The measurement of carats was not standardized. Over the years some countries attempted to standardize the weight of carats within their own region but there were still differences between countries. ### The Standardization of Carats By the late 19th century the need for a standardized measurement became more and more obvious as global trade increased. In 1907, the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures established the metric carat as the official unit for measuring gemstone weight. The metric carat is defined as 0.2 grams, which is actually quite close to the average weight of a carob seed. Finally there was uniformity in the gemstone industry. This standardization made trade much easier worldwide because there was a universally accepted measure. [ ![showing different sizes of stones to demonstrate what is a carat](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carat-visual.png "carat visual - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carat-visual.png) ### What is a Carat Visually? We use common carat size terms casually when we are actually trying to communicate a size. Terms such as a half carat, one carat, two carat, etc. That can make things quite complicated to understand. What does a one carat diamond look like? Why use a weight description when we are really trying to communicate a size description? Below is an image that will help you visualize typical carat weights in diamonds. Since we know that carats are a weight measurement and not a size measurement, it makes sense that a carat will not translate to an exact dimensional measurement. The only thing that can be established is an average size of a half carat diamond, one carat diamond and so on. Below is a diagram of the average sizes of four diamond carat weights. These average dimensions are only averages for diamonds. Average sizes correlated to carat weight is much more difficult to establish in other gemstones such as sapphire or emerald. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carat-size-averages-275x270.png "carat size averages - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/carat-size-averages-275x270.png) ### Carats and Gemstones Other than Diamond For other gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, emeralds etc., there is no average size that we can correlate to carat weight. This is because other gemstones are usually cut to preserve carat weight. As a result, cutting is much less standardized in gemstones than it is in diamonds. A gemstone cutter or lapidary may desire to preserve carat weight in gemstones for a number of reasons. If the gemstone is being sold by weight it is within their interest to preserve carat weight. Or, often coloured gemstones will be cut deep to preserve the saturation of colour. Although there can be a generalized, average size for a one carat within a species of gemstone, the carat sizes can vary wildly within a species of gemstone and between species of gemstones. ### So, Have we Answered the Question, What is a Carat?

We’ll explore how to clean your ring, when it’s a good idea to remove your ring and annual assessments to keep it looking its best for a lifetime. Your engagement ring isn’t just a piece of jewellery, it’s a symbolic representation of your relationship. It can also be unique to other pieces of jewellery because it’s worn everyday so it needs a bit more maintenance over time. ### How to Clean Your Engagement Ring The first step in how to take care of your engagement ring is cleaning. The method you use to clean your engagement ring will depend on the gemstones. At Posy we give our clients a cleaning kit that is safe to use with all gemstones. But, if you are mixing a homemade cleaning solution, you will want to be aware that not all solutions are safe for all gemstones. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cleaning-kit-small.jpg "cleaning kit small - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cleaning-kit-small.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mr-clean-and-water-746x736.jpg "mr clean and water - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mr-clean-and-water-746x736.jpg) ### Cleaning Options for Durable Gemstones To watch a video of this method please visit our [jewellery school youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBiPiMG6vq8)! Let’s first list some gemstones that this cleaning method will work for including: diamond, sapphire, ruby, topaz, spinel and moissanite. This list includes both natural and lab grown varieties of gemstones. The Method: - Get a small container and fill it with one part “Mr. Clean” (or any degreaser, but we find the greenish yellow Mr. Clean works best) and three parts warm water. - Put your ring in the solution and let it soak (if there is a lot of build up under the setting, leave the ring to soak longer). - Remove the ring from the solution and lightly scrub it with an old toothbrush (don’t forget to get under the setting). - Dry with a paper towel or lint free cloth if available. ### Cleaning Options for Less Durable Gemstones This cleaning method will work for less durable gemstones including: emerald, moonstone, morganite and tourmaline. The Method: - Get a small container and fill it with warm water and a few drops of degreasing liquid soap such as “Dawn”. - Put your ring in the solution and let it soak (if there is a lot of build up under the setting, leave the ring to soak longer). - Remove the ring from the solution and lightly scrub it with an old toothbrush (don’t forget to get under the setting). - Dry with a paper towel or lint free cloth if available. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/take-care-of-your-engagement-ring-275x270.jpg "take care of your engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/take-care-of-your-engagement-ring-275x270.jpg) ### Cleaning Options for Fragile Gemstones This cleaning method is recommended for fragile gemstones such as opal and pearl. The Method: - Dampen a soft cloth with warm water and add some dish soap. - Wipe your fragile gemstone carefully with the dampened cloth. - If you would like to clean build up from under the setting you can use an old toothbrush dampened with water and a dollop of dish soap. Carefully scrub under the setting being sure to avoid the fragile gemstone. - Dry with a paper towel or lint free cloth if available. ### When to Remove Your Ring Jewellery is not indestructible. Yes, gold, platinum and diamonds are very hard and very durable. Diamonds are, indeed, the hardest thing on earth. But, even a diamond is not indestructible. The next step in how to take care of your engagement ring is when to remove your engagement ring. Although engagement rings are designed (or they should be!) to be worn everyday, there are times when removing your ring is a good idea. Some of these recommendations are based on reducing damage risk and others are based on the risk of loss. Remove your ring when: - Working out, especially if working with weights. It’s a good idea to remove your ring when participating in sports as well. - Gardening, because it will get dirty, may encounter abrasions with rocks and also to prevent loss. - General household chores. Especially if you are using harsh cleaning chemicals. - Performing strenuous activity. For example, if you have a rock climbing hobby, or if you work in construction or trades. - Swimming, especially if you’re swimming in a lake or ocean to prevent loss. Some gemstones and metals may also have an adverse reaction to the chlorine in pools. - On vacation. To prevent loss you might want to consider taking a “faux” engagement ring with you on vacation. - Putting cream on. When you apply hand cream or sunscreen you’ll want to remove your ring first to prevent the grease in the cream from leaving residue on the stone or creating build up under the setting. - Sleeping. Some people have no problem sleeping with their ring on but some people find they accidentally scratch themselves during the night. It also gives your finger a chance to breathe and prevent potential irritation. ### Annual Assessments The final step in how to take care of your engagement ring is yearly assessments. Most jewellers who create custom engagement rings or sell engagement rings will offer complimentary assessments. We recommend coming in once a year so we can give your ring a thorough inspection. The assessment should include: - Looking at your ring under a microscope to examine the gemstones and settings. - Ensuring that all of the gemstones are still set securely. - Checking to ensure there are no structural problems in the ring mounting. If everything is in good shape your ring will receive a nice clean and polish and you will be on your way. If there are any concerns then the jeweller should take care of the issue if the ring is still under warranty or offer a quote on repair. You should think of it as bringing in your vehicle for regular maintenance. Keeping your ring in good shape will prevent larger problems down the road. Your engagement ring is precious and deserves the best care possible. By following these simple cleaning techniques and knowing when to give your ring a break, you can ensure it will last. Remember, a little TLC goes a long way in preserving your ring for years to come. We hope our tips on how to take care of your engagement ring have helped you!

Here we’re going to take a look at the top bridal trends for 2024. So far we’ve seen a few trends that have definitely stolen the spotlight including: wide wedding bands and engagement ring bands, the continuing popularity of lab grown diamonds, solitaire engagement rings with large centre stones, bridal stacking ring sets and men’s bands with some added complexity. ### Wide Bands [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set-with-red-ruby-400x300.jpg "yellow gold wedding ring set with red ruby - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set-with-red-ruby.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flat-wedding-ring-set-yellow-gold-titanium.jpeg-1-400x300.jpg "flat wedding ring set yellow gold titanium.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/flat-wedding-ring-set-yellow-gold-titanium.jpeg-1.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-yellow-gold-wedding-rings-400x300.jpg "wide yellow gold wedding rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-yellow-gold-wedding-rings.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/4mm-wide-flat-matte-finished-yellow-gold-wedding-bands.jpeg-400x300.jpg "4mm wide flat matte finished yellow gold wedding bands.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/4mm-wide-flat-matte-finished-yellow-gold-wedding-bands.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-wedding-rings-yellow-gold-400x300.jpeg "wide wedding rings yellow gold - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-wedding-rings-yellow-gold.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/chevron-engraved-mens-wedding-ring-ladies-princess-cut-wedding-ring.jpeg-1-400x300.jpg "chevron engraved mens wedding ring ladies princess cut wedding ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/chevron-engraved-mens-wedding-ring-ladies-princess-cut-wedding-ring.jpeg-1.jpg) Is the dainty trend finally coming to an end? Over the past decade or so there has been a definite preference for slight, minimalist bands. Engagement rings with super thin bands and the accompanying dainty wedding ring have been very popular. If this trend is indeed coming to an end, as goldsmiths, we couldn’t be happier. Very thin and dainty bands can be beautiful but they are rarely durable. And for a ring you wear everyday, durability is important. Wide bands are definitely among the top bridal trends for 2024 that we’ve seen first hand. Men have always preferred a wider band but we’ve seen the ladies requesting them this year too. The width of engagement ring bands have been creeping up as well. In engagement ring bands what we’re seeing is that, rather than the super thin bands of 1.5-1.7mm in previous years, people are choosing slightly wider bands at 2-3mm wide. One of the reasons that dainty bands became popular may be due to the price of gold. A ring will be less expensive if it contains less gold. In contrast, a wide band costs more because there is much more gold in a wider ring. The price of gold keeps rising, hitting new heights as each month passes. Could increasing gold costs have an effect on the wide band trend or slow it down? We shall have to wait and see. ### Continued Popularity of Lab Grown Diamonds [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-diamond-half-eternity-ring-400x300.jpg "emerald cut diamond half eternity ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-diamond-half-eternity-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ladies-pave-diamond-white-gold-wedding-ring-400x300.jpeg "ladies pave diamond white gold wedding ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/ladies-pave-diamond-white-gold-wedding-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Channel-set-yellow-gold-diamond-wedding-ring-400x300.jpeg "Channel set yellow gold diamond wedding ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Channel-set-yellow-gold-diamond-wedding-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/oval-diamond-halo-cluster-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "oval diamond halo cluster yellow gold engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/oval-diamond-halo-cluster-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/offset-3mm-diamond-half-eternity-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "offset 3mm diamond half eternity ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/offset-3mm-diamond-half-eternity-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/lab-diamond-floating-halo-engagement-ring-in-white-gold.jpeg-400x300.jpg "lab diamond floating halo engagement ring in white gold.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/lab-diamond-floating-halo-engagement-ring-in-white-gold.jpeg.jpg) The continuing popularity of lab grown diamonds is another of the top bridal trends for 2024. In both wedding rings and engagement rings we’re seeing the continued interest in lab grown diamonds for both price point and aesthetic reasons. Since lab grown diamonds are chemically identical to earth mined diamonds they have the best benefits of a diamond, namely sparkle and durability, with none of the downsides, such as cost and origin issues. Bridal shoppers now have more flexibility within their budget, choosing options that may not have been available in the past. For example, instead of going for an “off the rack” earth mined diamond engagement ring you could instead invest your budget in a ring custom made, just for you, with a lab grown diamond instead. ### Solitaire Engagement Rings with Larger Centre Stones [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/radiant-cut-2-carat-lab-diamond-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "radiant cut 2 carat lab diamond engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/radiant-cut-2-carat-lab-diamond-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-emerald-bezel-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "emerald cut emerald bezel engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-cut-emerald-bezel-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-ombre-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "pink sapphire ombre engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-ombre-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-carat-blue-sapphire-solitaire-engagement-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "3 carat blue sapphire solitaire engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/3-carat-blue-sapphire-solitaire-engagement-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-carat-oval-blue-sapphire-yellow-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "three carat oval blue sapphire yellow gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-carat-oval-blue-sapphire-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-carat-oval-two-tone-white-and-yellow-gold-engagement-ring-400x300.jpg "2 carat oval two tone white and yellow gold engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2-carat-oval-two-tone-white-and-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpg) Solitaire engagement rings remain a timeless choice, and in 2024 they’re making a statement with larger sized diamonds and gemstones. Thanks to the affordability of lab grown diamonds, couples can now indulge in larger stones without breaking the bank. In addition to large lab diamond centre stones, we’re also seeing large coloured gemstones as an emerging bridal trend for 2024. Solitaire engagement rings with large sapphires are particularly popular. Blue, teal and green sapphires are the colours that we’re bringing in most often for our clients to see in person. One note to keep in mind if you are interested in a large centre stone is that it will need to sit higher from your finger. The larger the stone, the deeper it is and therefore the higher it sits off of your finger. When a gem sits higher off of your finger you’ll notice that it “gets in the way” a bit more such as when you put your hand in your pocket or when putting on gloves. If you are looking for something very practical a larger gemstone might not be the right choice. ### Customized Bridal Stacking Ring Sets [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/horizontal-oval-diamond-prong-set-wedding-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "horizontal oval diamond prong set wedding ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/horizontal-oval-diamond-prong-set-wedding-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/diamond-pave-rings-400x300.jpg "diamond pave rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/diamond-pave-rings.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/interlocking-contour-wedding-ring-set-400x300.jpg "interlocking contour wedding ring set - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/interlocking-contour-wedding-ring-set.jpg) Bouncing from the stacking ring trends, some brides are opting for a wedding ring stack. Another one of the top bridal trends for 2024 is creating multiple wedding bands so that you can stack them all together. This is especially popular for people who aren’t planning on wearing their engagement ring everyday. Instead, they are planning to have a ring stack of multiple wedding bands, some with diamonds, some plain and some with patterns or engravings. It’s a great idea to create your own custom set of wedding rings so that they fit and look just the way you want. In addition, going the custom route will ensure that the stack fits with your engagement ring should you decide to wear them all together. ### Men's Wedding Rings with Patterns, Engravings, or Gemstones [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-channel-set-diamond-mens-yellow-gold-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "wide channel set diamond mens yellow gold ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/wide-channel-set-diamond-mens-yellow-gold-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/squared-corner-mens-diamond-ring-400x300.jpg "squared corner mens diamond ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/squared-corner-mens-diamond-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-black-and-white-diamond-wedding-ring-400x300.jpg "mens black and white diamond wedding ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-black-and-white-diamond-wedding-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-gemstone-wedding-ring-ladies-cluster-gemstone-wedding-ring-400x300.jpeg "mens gemstone wedding ring ladies cluster gemstone wedding ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/mens-gemstone-wedding-ring-ladies-cluster-gemstone-wedding-ring.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set-with-red-ruby-400x300.jpg "yellow gold wedding ring set with red ruby - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/yellow-gold-wedding-ring-set-with-red-ruby.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/double-groove-mens-wedding-ring-and-contour-ring-400x300.jpg "double groove mens wedding ring and contour ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/double-groove-mens-wedding-ring-and-contour-ring.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/chevron-engraved-mens-wedding-ring-ladies-princess-cut-wedding-ring.jpeg-400x300.jpg "chevron engraved mens wedding ring ladies princess cut wedding ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/chevron-engraved-mens-wedding-ring-ladies-princess-cut-wedding-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/blue-topaz-and-diamond-hammered-texture-yellow-gold-mens-wedding-band-400x300.jpeg "blue topaz and diamond hammered texture yellow gold mens wedding band - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/blue-topaz-and-diamond-hammered-texture-yellow-gold-mens-wedding-band.jpeg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/black-diamond-eternity-mens-wedding-band-400x300.jpg "black diamond eternity mens wedding band - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/black-diamond-eternity-mens-wedding-band.jpg) Gone are the days when [men’s wedding rings](https://suzannecrudden.com/mens-wedding-bands-toronto/) were limited to simple bands. Grooms are embracing creativity and personalization, choosing rings with patterns, engravings, and even gemstones. In 2024, men’s wedding rings are becoming more of a reflection of individual style and personality. We’re seeing gents opting for diamonds and gemstones in their wedding rings more than we’ve ever seen in the past. White and black diamonds are the most popular. In addition to gemstones we’re also seeing different shapes of wedding bands such as knife edge and signet style or square edged. Patterns with grooves, hammered textures and beveled edges are also popular. ### Bridal Trends for 2024 in Summary The top bridal trends for 2024 reflect a blend of changing attitudes toward technology and innovation as well as a turn toward more substantial and individual designs. Innovations in lab grown diamonds have opened up the options to a whole new set of consumers. An appreciation of bolder designs has led to the increased popularity of wide bands in general and men’s wedding ring choices. Flexibility on the definition of a wedding ring has led some to consider wedding ring stacking sets. So far the bridal trends for 2024 have turned out to be some of the best we’ve seen in years!

These are the items of jewellery that have stood the test of time to become classics. These pieces can be aspirational, the ones that you want to start your “forever” jewellery collection.

Classic jewellery pieces such as the pearl necklace, the diamond tennis bracelet, the bangle bracelet, the pendant of religious significance, diamond stud earrings, hoop earrings, the signet ring and the locket pendant have transcended fads to become timeless staples in every wardrobe. Below we’ll explore the history of each piece as well as give some tips on what to prioritize if you’re looking to purchase your own. ### Pearl Necklace [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pearl-silk-knotted-necklace-with-white-gold-clasp.jpeg-300x300.jpg "pearl silk knotted necklace with white gold clasp.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pearl-silk-knotted-necklace-with-white-gold-clasp.jpeg-300x300.jpg) From Coco Chanel to Audrey Hepburn, pearl necklaces have long been part of iconic looks. Pearls became especially popular during the Renaissance period and have remained a staple in collections of classic jewellery pieces ever since. The pearl necklace is seeing a bit of a resurgence these days. There was a period of time in recent years when pearl necklaces were seen as passé or something a grandmother would wear. But now we’re seeing people playing with styling, layering pearl necklaces with other necklaces, contrasting a pearl necklace with a dressed down look or choosing different colours of pearls.

But how did it get the name tennis bracelet? Few people know that the term “tennis bracelet” originated during the 1980’s when Chris Evert lost hers during a tennis match. A tennis bracelet is made from connected settings that are set with diamonds giving the impression that the bracelet is constructed of a line of diamonds. There are different styles of tennis bracelets and the diamonds can be of various size and set in various ways. The classic tennis bracelet has the diamond set in a four prong setting, with diamonds ranging in size from 2 to 3mm. Two things to consider if you are shopping for a diamond tennis bracelet. First, you’ll want to make sure you get the right size. Just as with fingers, everybody’s wrist size is different too. Second, you’ll want to make sure that it has a good, strong clasp. Tennis bracelets usually have a box clasp which is a very durable clasp. You don’t want to loose it! . ### Bangle Bracelet Bangle bracelets have been worn for centuries across various cultures. In Indian tradition, brides often wear ornate, symbolic bangle sets called “chooda”. In Western fashion, bangle bracelets gained popularity during the Art Deco era of the 1920s, utilizing bold geometric shapes, ceramic inlay and intricate metalwork. In terms of classic jewellery pieces, you can’t go wrong with a gold bangle. If worn on its own, a wider bangle such as the one pictured might be more desirable. But you could also purchase a set or more delicate bangles and stack them. Since a bangle is worn on the wrist it will be subject to daily wear and tear. You will need to be prepared that they may get a bit misshapen over time. But, not to worry, they can easily be hammered round again!

Often a pendant such as this will be given as a gift at a milestone moment such as a baptism or marriage. We’ve had the opportunity to custom create many different pendants from many different faiths. Sometimes created for our client and sometimes created as a gift. Often a pendant of religious significance will be the first piece of precious jewellery a person receives. ### Diamond Stud Earrings Diamond stud earrings are the epitome of understated elegance. Their timeless appeal lies in their simplicity and versatility, making them suitable for any occasion. The quintessential day to night accessory. Diamond studs gained popularity during the Victorian era when diamonds became more accessible to the middle class. Since then, they have remained a classic choice only gaining in popularity through the decades. When shopping for diamond stud earrings you’ll want to first assess what size of diamond appeals to you. The standard, classic size is 5mm or the equivalent of 1/2 carat in each ear totalling 1 total carat weight. The next thing you’ll want to consider is the metal. A white metal will distract less from the diamond whereas a yellow or rose gold will be more contrasting. Also, be aware that some people have an allergy to the nickel in white gold. If you’re unsure of an allergy, but want a white metal, you could instead opt for platinum.

In ancient Egypt, hoop earrings were worn as symbols of status and wealth, while in Rome, they were associated with femininity and fertility. Today, hoop earrings come in various sizes and designs, from delicate gold hoops to bold statement pieces set with gemstones. Hoop earrings are so versatile and go with everything. One thing to watch out for, often hoop earrings are hollow. If somehow they receive a ding or a dent, there is no way to remove that blemish. Just something to keep in mind! ### Signet Ring Signet rings originate in ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Initially, these rings were used as practical tools rather than fashion statements. The word “signet” is derived from the Latin word “signum,” meaning sign or seal. Signet rings were used as seals, serving as a personal signature or a mark of authority when pressed onto wax or clay. They played a vital role in official correspondence, legal documents, and the authentication of important messages. One of the defining features of signet rings is their ability to be customized. The engraving on the bezel is usually very personal, reflecting the wearer’s individuality, heritage, or affiliation with a particular group or organization (for example Mason’s or a school ring). Family crests and coats of arms are also common as well as monograms and initials. These engravings tie generations together and make signet rings meaningful heirlooms that are usually passed down. We’ve had the opportunity to create many custom signet rings. We find the most popular engraving to be initials but many people also choose to set gemstones as well. Think of the face of signet ring as your canvas to express yourself. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/signet-ring-with-initials-reused-gold.jpeg-275x270.jpg "signet ring with initials reused gold.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/signet-ring-with-initials-reused-gold.jpeg-275x270.jpg) ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/gold-locket-300x300.png "gold locket - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ### Lockets Lockets are more than just decorative accessories; they are keepsakes that hold sentimental value and cherished memories. These hinged pendants have been worn for centuries, serving as miniature treasure chests for locks of hair, love notes, or photographs. Lockets gained popularity during the Victorian era when sentimental jewellery became fashionable. Today, they remain symbols of love, loss, and remembrance, offering wearers a tangible connection to their past. If you’re shopping for a locket, we recommend gold over silver. Because the function of a locket is to be open and closed somewhat regularly, you want to ensure that the closure is strong. Silver is quite a soft metal and eventually the closure on a silver locket will fail. Although the cost difference is significant, a gold locket will last much longer and be much more durable than a silver locket. ### Ready to Start Collecting your Classic Jewellery Pieces?

The tradition is thought to have originated with the Breastplate of Aaron, a religious garment described in the Bible that was adorned with twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Fast forward to the 18th century, and people in Poland began wearing gemstones corresponding to their birth month. This trend spread, and in 1912, the American National Retail Jewelers Association (now Jewelers of America) officially adopted a standardized list of birthstones. #### Traditional Birthstone List #### **January – Garnet** - **Chemical Description:** Garnets are a group of silicate minerals with similar physical properties but different chemical compositions. - **Where It’s Found:** Garnet deposits are found in places like India, Sri Lanka, and the USA. - **Fun Fact:** Garnets come in almost every color except blue! #### **February – Amethyst** - **Chemical Description:** Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz, composed of silicon dioxide. - **Where It’s Found:** Major sources include Brazil, Uruguay, and Zambia. - **Fun Fact:** Ancient Greeks believed amethyst could prevent drunkenness. #### **March – Aquamarine** - **Chemical Description:** Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl, containing beryllium aluminum silicate. - **Where It’s Found:** This gem is commonly found in Brazil, Nigeria, and Madagascar. - **Fun Fact:** Aquamarine is said to calm the waves and keep sailors safe at sea. #### **April – Diamond** - **Chemical Description:** Diamonds are pure carbon, arranged in a crystal lattice. - **Where It’s Found:** Diamonds are primarily mined in South Africa, Russia, and Canada. - **Fun Fact:** Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth. #### **May – Emerald** - **Chemical Description:** Emerald is a green variety of beryl, colored by trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. - **Where It’s Found:** Significant sources include Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil. - **Fun Fact:** Cleopatra was famously obsessed with emeralds! #### **June – Pearl** - **Chemical Description:** Pearls are organic gems formed inside mollusks, composed mainly of calcium carbonate. - **Where It’s Found:** They are primarily harvested in Japan, China, and the South Pacific. - **Fun Fact:** Pearls are the only gems created by living organisms. #### **July – Ruby** - **Chemical Description:** Ruby is a red variety of corundum, made of aluminum oxide with chromium. - **Where It’s Found:** Notable sources are Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and Sri Lanka. - **Fun Fact:** Rubies are known as the “king of gemstones” for their deep red color and rarity. #### **August – Peridot** - **Chemical Description:** Peridot is a gem-quality variety of olivine, composed of magnesium iron silicate. - **Where It’s Found:** Major sources include the USA (Arizona), China, and Pakistan. - **Fun Fact:** Peridot has been found in meteorites! #### **September – Sapphire** - **Chemical Description:** Sapphire is a variety of corundum, an aluminum oxide mineral. - **Where It’s Found:** Sapphires are mined in countries like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Australia. - **Fun Fact:** While blue is the most common, sapphires come in nearly every color except red (which are rubies). #### **October – Opal** - **Chemical Description:** Opals are hydrated silica, with a significant water content. - **Where It’s Found:** Australia is the primary source, followed by Ethiopia and Mexico. - **Fun Fact:** Opals can display a stunning play-of-color, with flashes of rainbow colors. #### **November – Topaz** - **Chemical Description:** Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminum and fluorine. - **Where It’s Found:** Brazil is the largest producer, along with Pakistan and Russia. - **Fun Fact:** Pure topaz is colorless, and impurities give it various colors. **December – Turquoise** - **Chemical Composition**: Hydrated copper aluminum phosphate. - **Where Found**: Iran, the United States (Southwest), and China. - **Fun Fact**: Turquoise has been prized for thousands of years and is one of the oldest known gemstones. #### Alternate Birthstone List In addition to traditional birthstones, there is an alternate birthstone list for each month.

And beyond that, October babies are in luck because they have two beautiful gems to call their own: opal and pink tourmaline. Both stones full of colour and meaning, making them perfect for creating October birthstone jewellery that tells a story. Whether you’re gifting someone special or treating yourself, these gems bring warmth to any design. ![roughly tumbled opals shown to describe how october birthstone jewellery is created](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLOG-IMAGES-2.png "BLOG IMAGES 2 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### The Magic of Opal: Fire in Stone Opal feels a bit like autumn itself, full of light, layers of colour, and unexpected beauty. Its rainbow-like flashes have long made it a favourite among gem lovers. ### History & Symbolism - **Ancient Rome**: Opals were seen as symbols of hope and purity. They were believed to bring good fortune. - **Medieval Europe**: Because opals contain so many colours, people thought they carried the power of every gemstone in one. Some even believed they granted invisibility! - **Folklore**: Through the centuries, opal has been tied to love, healing, and protection. ### Where It’s Found Most of the world’s opals come from Australia, famous for its fiery black opals. Other sources include Ethiopia, Mexico, and Brazil—each producing stones with their own distinct character. In jewellery, opal pairs beautifully with warm yellow gold. Opal is a soft gemstone so yellow gold is a also a better option than white gold because it’s softer. It’s less likely for the opal to be damaged during setting in yellow gold, especially a higher karat. #### Pink Tourmaline: October’s Modern Gem If opal is like autumn leaves dancing in the light, then pink tourmaline is like a late October sunset—soft, glowing, and full of warmth. ### History & Symbolism - **Ancient Egypt**: Legends said tourmaline travelled along a rainbow from the earth’s core, explaining its many colours. - **18th Century Europe**: Tourmaline became popular when Dutch traders brought it from Sri Lanka, where its unusual ability to attract small objects when heated earned it a reputation as a “magnet stone.” - **Symbolism**: Pink tourmaline is thought to bring love, compassion, and emotional balance—a gemstone for the heart. ### Where It’s Found Most pink tourmaline comes from Brazil, though it’s also found in Afghanistan, Mozambique, and the U.S. Its soft blush tones make it a versatile stone for both everyday jewellery and one-of-a-kind statement pieces. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/BLOG-IMAGES-3.png "BLOG IMAGES 3 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### October Birthstone Jewellery [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/white-australian-opal-stud-earringsjpeg-400x400.jpg "white australian opal stud earringsjpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/white-australian-opal-stud-earringsjpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-diamond-cluster-promise-ring.jpeg-400x400.jpg "pink sapphire diamond cluster promise ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/pink-sapphire-diamond-cluster-promise-ring.jpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/dainty-opal-stud-earringsjpeg-400x400.jpg "dainty opal stud earringsjpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/dainty-opal-stud-earringsjpeg.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pendant-with-message-of-hopejpeg-1-400x400.jpg "pendant with message of hopejpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/pendant-with-message-of-hopejpeg-1.jpg) Here in Toronto, October is the month where fall really arrives. The changing colour of the leaves, the need to pop on a sweater, all as we recognize a time of thanks giving and gratitude. At our Toronto studio, we love creating custom opal and pink tourmaline jewellery for October babies and those that love them. Whether it’s a family birthstone ring, a pendant for an October birthday, or a pair of earrings just because. Opal, being a soft stone, is more suitable for pendants and earrings. If you’d like to create a family birthstone ring we’d recommend pink tourmaline because it’s a bit more durable. #### Alternatives for October Birthstones Not everyone chooses opal or pink tourmaline. Some prefer alternatives that capture October’s romantic, colourful feel while offering a different look or durability: - **Tourmaline** – Other colours such as green and blue. - **Rose Quartz** – A gentle pink stone symbolizing love and peace. - **Morganite** – A peachy-pink cousin of emerald, popular for its elegance. - **Moonstone** – With its glowing, mystical sheen, it shares opal’s magical play of light. Each carries its own meaning, making them lovely substitutes for October-inspired jewellery. #### Final Thoughts October’s birthstones, opal and pink tourmaline, capture the richness of the season. From the fiery flashes of opal to the tender glow of pink tourmaline, each stone carries history, symbolism, and beauty. If you’re in Toronto and looking to create custom October birthstone jewellery that is as meaningful as it is beautiful, these gems are the perfect way to celebrate the season and the people you love. ![author avatar](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b011563f5869b73a0be4930fb520949b2bb748823e3924e06825ed72c46fe9d8?s=300&d=mm&r=g) Suzanne Crudden [See Full Bio](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) [ ](https://suzannecrudden.com/author/suzanne/) **Categories:** Birthstones, Gifts, Guides **Tags:** birthstone jewellery, birthstone jewelry, birthstones, October birthstone --- ### [flux + form Voted One of the Best Jewellery Stores in Toronto](https://suzannecrudden.com/flux-form-voted-one-of-the-best-jewellery-stores-in-toronto/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** #### Best Jewellery Stores Toronto Once again flux + form has been named one of the best jewellery stores in Toronto by Blog TO!

Leave this field empty if you're human: #### WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY I worked with Suzanne to design an engagement ring. I was really nervous starting out, not knowing anything about anything. Suzanne was very kind and was incredible in guiding me through the process. She is incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I felt very taken care of. The end product was beautiful and exactly as I (or rather my partner) dreamed of. Thank you again! Ryan Happy Customer Suzanne was amazingly helpful, patient, and communicative with my now fiancé and I as we designed a custom engagement ring. From her helpful responses to all our questions in the consultation to her advice with our design changes, Suzanne was a joy to work with at every step. She even accommodated my fiancé’s quick timeline for our surprise proposal on New Years! We are so happy with how our custom design came out and look forward to more projects with Suzanne in the future. Thank you so much! Natasha & Brian Happy Customers I can’t begin to thank Suzanne enough for everything she did for my wife and I. Her work is fantastic! She truly cares about her clients and that showed considerably in our case. Her dedication to her clients is what makes her so special. We visited numerous jewellers and we were very underwhelmed because they all seemed to just want to do a job… Our first meeting with Suzanne was so refreshing! I would recommend Suzanne for any of your jewellery needs. She’s fantastic and professional. I promise you will not regret it. Thank you Suzanne!

We like to say, “the meaning is the value”. If you are able to reuse old jewellery, there are many benefits as we will see here. #### Here's How we Reuse Old Jewellery [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/before-se-450x700.jpg "before se - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/before-se.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FJC230303BezelPaveSplitEdgar_Render_02-450x700.jpg "FJC230303BezelPaveSplitEdgar_Render_02 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/FJC230303BezelPaveSplitEdgar_Render_02.jpg) [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/open-split-shank-diamond-right-hand-ring.jpeg-450x700.jpg "open split shank diamond right hand ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/open-split-shank-diamond-right-hand-ring.jpeg.jpg) #### STEP ONE - The process for reusing jewellery is slightly different to creating a strictly custom piece - Collect the pieces of jewellery you’d like to reuse - Figure out what you’d like to make, ie: a ring, necklace, earring, bracelet etc. - Bring them in to me so that I can weigh the metal and measure the gemstones - Or you can also email me a picture and I can estimate the weights and measurements until I can see the pieces to be reused in person #### STEP TWO - We develop a mock up design based on your ideas - I can also offer design suggestions if you don’t have a particular idea in mind - I figure out how much material we need for the new design - We figure out if we have enough metal and gemstones to create the project or if we need to add a little more - I figure out the quote for you #### STEP THREE - Once the quote is approved we move on to the final design - I’ll clean the metal and remove the stones - If there are any stones that are unable to be reused (ie: broken or chipped) or if there are extra materials that won’t be used in the project they will be returned to you - We will then create the model of the piece for your approval and move on to production - Your beautiful new heirloom jewellery piece is ready! OUR PHILOSOPHY #### Reusing Jewellery We strongly believe in re-using old jewellery. Yes, it can be tricky and time consuming and there are some challenges involved. But isn’t it better to re-use something than take something else from the earth if we can avoid it? We know that the true value of our client’s treasures lies not in the monetary value but the sentimental value. We respect that value above all else and treat our client’s pieces with the attention and care they deserve. #### LEARN ABOUT REUSING YOUR JEWELLERY [READ THE FAQS](https://suzannecrudden.com/re-use-old-jewellery-faqs/) THE BENEFITS #### Reuse Old Jewellery - \* The true value of jewellery is it’s **sentimental value**, that will be preserved. - \*It is the most **environmentally friendly** way to make jewellery since little or nothing will be taken from the earth. - \*You will receive **cost savings** because you will be using, at least in part, your own materials. - \*With reusing comes renewal, your new piece will start a new story with **new energy.** ### \*You will receive **cost savings** because you will be using, at least in part, your own materials. \*With reusing comes renewal, your new piece will start a new story with **new energy.** ### Ideas on How to Reuse Old Jewellery [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/classic-half-round-yellow-gold-wedding-rings-700x600.jpeg "classic half round yellow gold wedding rings - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/classic-half-round-yellow-gold-wedding-rings-700x600.jpeg) #### Wedding Sets - incorporate the metal from your heirloom jewellery pieces into your wedding bands - or create new wedding rings with the metal from your original wedding bands [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-stone-diamond-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg "three stone diamond yellow gold engagement ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/three-stone-diamond-yellow-gold-engagement-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg) #### Engagement Rings - incorporate the diamonds or gemstones from heirloom jewellery in your new engagement ring - or redesign your original engagement ring to make a new one [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-and-diamond-flush-set-yellow-gold-right-hand-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg "emerald and diamond flush set yellow gold right hand ring.jpeg - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/emerald-and-diamond-flush-set-yellow-gold-right-hand-ring.jpeg-700x600.jpg) #### Special Gifts - use materials from family jewellery to create a new special gift for a family member - or use the materials to create a special gift for yourself #### What is the Cost to Reuse Old Jewellery?

Moissanite has become a really popular choice due to it’s beauty, durability and price point. ### What is Moissanite? Naturally occuring moissanite is silicon carbide first discovered by Henri Moissan in the late 19th century. It is an extremely rare mineral and only limited deposits have ever been found – mostly in association with meteors but also in kimberlite and as naturally ocurring inclusions in diamonds. Due to its rarity natural moissanite, ie: mined from the earth, is not widely available. Instead it was synthesized in a labratory and is now commercially available from Charles and Colvard. It has a number of applications but the most important to us here is as a beautiful gemstone in jewellery. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones.jpg "diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/diamond-vs-moissanite-vs-gemstones.jpg) ### Moissanite FAQ’s #### Is it true that Moissanite has a yellow undertone? Originally when it was first produced Moissanite did have a yellow-ish under-tone. They now call this kind of stone ‘Moissanite Classic’ and is roughly equivalent to the J/K colour grades of diamonds. Since that time the makers of Moissanite, Charles & Colvard, have come out with two lines of ‘whiter’ stones. The first is ‘Forever Brilliant’ and it is roughly equivalent in colour to the G/H/I grades of diamonds. The second and newest line is called ‘Forever One’ and is roughly equivalent in colour to a D/E/F grades of diamonds. It is important to note that small Moissanite or stones smaller than 4mm are not made in the Forever Brilliant or Forever One lines. Small stones are only available in classic Moissanite. #### What is the difference between diamond and Moissanite? There are a number of differences but we will narrow it down to the main two. First, diamonds are harder than Moissanite measuring 10 on the Moh’s Scale of Hardness to the 9.25 of Moissanite. That being said, even though diamonds are harder, Moissanite is still a very durable stone that will stand up to everyday wear. Second, Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond which means that it actually disperses more light and has more ‘fire’. #### Carat Size vs Millimetre Size We find that many people get confused with carat size and millimetre size. When considering Moissanite the most uncomplicated way to approach choosing your stone size is to use a milllimetre measurement. Carat is actually a weight measurement, not a dimensional measurement. Moissanite weighs 10% less than a diamond so a one carat diamond would not be the same size as a one carat Moissanite. There are rough equivalents of course, for example a 6.5mm stone could be said to be approximately equivalent to the size of a one carat diamond, but it is not precise. #### Is it possible to create a project using Moissanite if I’m not local to Toronto? Absolutely, just get in touch and we will make it happen. #### Some Examples of Custom Moissanite Rings We've Created [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/rose-cut-oval-moissanite-leaf-engagement-ring-400x300.jpeg "rose cut oval moissanite leaf engagement ring -

Our job is to help you communicate that story in metal and gemstones. Perhaps you are links in a chain. Perhaps you are charms on a charm bracelet. Or perhaps you are birthstones in a ring. Over the years we’ve created many special heirloom pieces with our clients. Sometimes we’ve created an entirely new piece from scratch and other times we’ve reused special family jewellery to create the piece. Whatever the method, the result is always a very special piece that symbolizes the most precious people in our client’s lives. A special jewellery piece can be a way to take your precious people with you on your own life journey, every day. If you would like to learn more about the custom process or how to reuse your old jewellery we’ve provided links below. If you’re looking for inspiration you can also view our custom family jewellery portfolio. Or if you already have an idea get in touch and we’ll get started! ### How would you tell your family story?

Collectively they are used to grade and describe the quality of an individual diamond. Essentially these qualities, when described by a gemmologist, help to determine the value of a diamond. The Gemmological Institute of America (G.I.A.) established the 4 C’s to create standardization in the language used to describe the various qualities of diamonds. Before the establishment of the 4 C’s there were many different systems of terminology for describing the qualities of diamonds. Some systems were popular in certain geographic areas and others were popular in another place. It’s easy to see how that could get very confusing! Below we explore each category in further detail. The information we’ve provided here is essentially a primer, for further information we highly recommend the [G.I.A. website](http://www.gia.edu/diamond-quality-factor). If you’re interested in gemstones, there’s no better place! ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond4CsBasics-1.jpg "Diamond4CsBasics-1 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Colour-700x700.jpg "Diamond Colour - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Colour-700x700.jpg) #### Colour Colour is the only diamond quality that is going to be directly affected by everyday wear. Nothing will actually change the colour of your diamond but sometimes grime can build up under the setting and mask a diamond’s true colour. We try to remember to take off our rings when we are putting on make up or applying cream but, inevitably, we all forget sometimes. Of course, all it takes is a quick scrub to have your stone shining it’s brightest, true colour again! The scale begins at D and ends with Z. Letter grades D through F are considered ‘colourless’, G through J ‘near colourless’, K through M are ‘faint’, N through R ‘very light’ and S through Z ‘light’. Generally I recommend stones graded H and above as I find I can see a faint yellowish hue around the J/K grades. That being said we’ve seen some spectacular J/K graded stones so you just never know until you see it! [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Clarity-700x700.jpg "Diamond Clarity - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Clarity-700x700.jpg) #### Clarity Clarity refers to how ‘clean’ a diamond is, or in other words, if there are – or are not – inclusions present in the stone. Inclusions can be anything from black bits of carbon to tiny crystals of other minerals to little feather-like marks. Inclusions are actually a good thing because they can serve two purposes. Once you know the inclusions of your particular diamond they can be used as an identifier. Also, the presence of inclusions indicate the natural origin of your stone. The scale begins with Flawless (F) and Internally Flawless (IF) which are very rare grades. Next is the Very, Very Slightly Included (VVS) category which have inclusions so small even a diamond grader has trouble seeing them. At the Very Slightly Included (VVS) category inclusions can be seen at 10 times magnification but they are very minor in comparison to the Slightly Included category (SI) where the inclusions can be seen quite clearly at 10 times magnification. Often the SI category is referred to as ‘eye clean’. Finally the Included cateogry (I) will have inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. We see the most value and quality in stones graded SI and above. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Cut-700x700.jpg "Diamond Cut - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Cut-700x700.jpg) #### Cut Cut is the only quality that really gives us humans a chance to shine, no pun intended. All of the other qualities, colour, clarity and carat are determined by nature. Cutting the facets of a diamond requires great skill and many years of training. Cut is arguably the most important quality because a diamond with a higher grade cut will reflect light, creating beautiful ‘fire’ regardless of the colour, carat or clarity of that diamond. The GIA cut scale labels the highest grade as ‘Excellent’ but you may also see ‘Ideal’ listed for some diamonds. They are comparable. The next grade is ‘Very Good’, then ‘Good’, ‘Fair’ and ‘Poor’. We recommend diamonds with a Very Good cut or above. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Carat-700x700.jpg "Diamond Carat - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Carat-700x700.jpg) #### Carat [Carat](https://suzannecrudden.com/what-is-a-carat-anyway/) may be the most familiar diamond quality for most people. Terms such as ‘half carat’ or ‘one carat’ are common standards that are used by popular culture but a lot of people can’t actually visualize the equivalent diametre size. It’s important to note that carat is a weight measurement, not a dimensional measurement. A one carat stone is roughly equivalent to around 6.5mm in diametre but each individual will have slightly different measurements. There is no carat size that is a ‘standard’ or a ‘minimum’. Every and all diamonds are unique and beautiful. The best diamond is the one that is right for you. #### Diamond Shapes The most important thing to understand about diamond shapes is that it is not the same thing as cut. Diamond shape is not a grade in the 4 C’s. Diamond shape describes the form in which the stone has been created. Sometimes particular shapes such as ‘Asscher’ or ‘Princess’ also have a special cut that is only used for stones of a particular shape. Whereas a brilliant cut could be used on both round and oval shaped diamonds or a step cut could be used on both baguette and emerald shaped diamonds. There are a multitude of diamond shapes available and new ones are being innovated all of the time. The most common shapes that are used are round, oval and square. Antique cushion cuts with rounded corners in either square or rectangle are also popular right now. For certain shapes there are considerations you will want to make when setting to protect the stone. For example, for shapes with sharp, vulnerable corners such as square princess or marquis you’ll want to ensure that those corners are covered and protected in the setting. Another example would be the soft square antique cushion shaped stone. If using a prong setting, the stone could potentially shift in the setting due to its shape so it’s better to use either a double prong or bezel to set this shape of stone. When selecting your diamond shape you’ll want to keep in mind which one works best for your design. Some diamonds definitely work better than others for some designs. If you prefer a unique shaped stone such as a marquis or trillion it is better to first select your stone then create the design for your jewellery piece. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Diamond-Shapes-2.png "Diamond Shapes 2 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Lab-Grown-Diamonds-Pink-Blue-Yellow-1.jpg "Lab-Grown-Diamonds-Pink-Blue-Yellow - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### LEARN ABOUT LAB GROWN DIAMONDS [LEARN MORE](https://suzannecrudden.com/lab-grown-diamonds/) [](https://suzannecrudden.com/lab-grown-diamonds/) --- ### [Custom Portfolios](https://suzannecrudden.com/custom-portfolios/) **Published:** April 30, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Posy-logo-border-transparent.png "Posy logo border transparent - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Posy-logo-border-transparent.png) FIND YOUR INSPIRATION #### OUR CUSTOM PORTFOLIOS We work hard to provide our clients with exceptional quality custom jewellery pieces using the best possible materials while keeping in mind what is most important to you.

To prepare for this consultation you may want to collect any images you would like to use for inspiration and have a think on what kind of metal and gemstones you prefer.

We want to make jewellery something more than just a luxury item or a trinket, but something that is meaningful and accessible. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/heistgroupweb.jpg "heistgroupweb - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/gbcsmallweb.jpg "gbcsmallweb - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/heistgroupweb2.jpg "heistgroupweb2 - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/intervalhouseweb.png "intervalhouseweb - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### INTERVAL HOUSE I had the absolute pleasure of working with a wonderful team from Interval House and Union Creative to bring new meaning through jewellery for these inspirational ladies. This was honestly one of the most wonderful experiences of my jewellery career. We all know how much symbolic meaning can be infused in our jewellery pieces. They are more than a combination of precious metals and gemstones. They are symbols of life’s milestones, they trigger memories, they tell stories. But sometimes they can symbolize painful memories too. One of my specialties is reusing jewellery. I love bringing new energy to pieces that perhaps need a modern update or incorporating heirloom metal in new wedding bands. But this was the first time I was so cognizant of how truly transformational this process could be. It was an honour to be a part of this project and meet these inspirational women. I treasure the lessons I learned from them and this project. Click [here](https://www.intervalhouse.ca/take-action/donate/) if you would like to donate to Interval House. #### GREAT JEWELLERY HEIST Each fall Sinai Health presents a one of a kind fundraiser called the Great Jewellery Heist. My partners at flux + form and I have been participating in the event from the first year. We thought it was such a cool concept for a fundraiser and obviously a great cause. I like how this event sort of turns the concept of jewellery as a luxury item on its head . I mean, jewellery is luxurious and that is kind of why we like it. But luxury for luxury sake is meaningless and empty. An event like this allows us to indulge our love of beautiful, sparkly things while learning about the transformative work of Bridgepoint Active Healthcare. As the designer takes materials and transforms them into jewellery, the team at Bridgepoint help to transform the lives of their patients and allow them to remain active members of their communities. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/jewellery-heist-small-292x300.jpg "jewellery heist small - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### TORONTO'S FIRST POST OFFICE Every year I and the ladies of flux + form each contribute sparkly goodies for Toronto’s First Post Office event celebrating Toronto’s birthday. It’s a tradition we all look forward to as well as our visits to our local post office. The post office is operated by Town of York’s Historical Society and in addition to being a functional Canada Post outlet it’s also a museum and a shop. They have lots of interesting hand made items created by local designers and artisans. I love that this is our local post office, it’s so nice to go in and be transported back in time. Guys, this is the post office that was featured in Anne of Green Gables (with Megan Follows). How cool is that?! ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/first-post-office-small-400x256.jpg "first post office small - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE I’m a very proud graduate of the George Brown College Jewellery Program. I have a lot of wonderful memories of the years I spent there. I’ve said this many times, and it’s true, George Brown was my Hogwarts. Since graduating I’ve had the opportunity to go back and teach in the jewellery department as well as participate on panels and in a mentorship capacity. Every year my shop flux + form also takes on an intern from the jewellery program. I love having the opportunity to meet and work with these soon-to-be graduates, hopefully helping them avoid a few of the mistakes I’ve made over the years. I’ve had so many fantastic experiences and met so many wonderful people through George Brown I can’t list them all. I’m so grateful for the close relationship I’ve had with the college. And hey, if you’re thinking about becoming a goldsmith – check out their program! ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/gbcsmallweb-278x300.jpg "gbcsmallweb - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") #### CANADIAN YOUTH BUSINESS FOUNDATION I had the opportunity to sit on a CYBF board for a few years with fellow entrepreneurs and business professionals from a variety of industries. The goal of the board was to assess the viability of business plans provided by young people aged 18-34 applying for loans and grants from the Canadian Youth Business Foundation. It was an absolute pleasure to meet so many ambitious, creative young people. I was supposed to be the mentor but I can honestly say they inspired me in so many ways. I’m sure I learned as much from the experience as they did. Today the CYBF has been rebranded as Futurpreneur Canada and is still nuturing the seeds of Canadian entrpreneurship and creativity. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/cybf.png "cybf - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") I’ve also had the opportunity to provide many donations to important causes over the years. I often feel like I’m not able to do enough. I know it might seem so glamorous to work with diamonds and gold all day long but very little of it’s mine. One way I can help is with my trade, designing and creating interesting pieces that can serve as donations at silent auctions. I’ll admit I’ve never kept a list but here are a few: - The Serge Ibaka Foundation - Trails Youth Initiatives - Wonders of Ability Gala - The Red Door Family Shelter - The Hospital for Sick Children - The Nesting Place JOIN OUR COMMUNITY #### **SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER** Leave this field empty if you're human: [ ](https://www.facebook.com/posyfinejewellery/) [ ](https://www.instagram.com/posyfinejewellery/) [ ](https://www.youtube.com/@posyfinejewellery) --- ### [Book an Appointment](https://suzannecrudden.com/book-an-appointment/) **Published:** April 15, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** #### We are pleased to offer in-person, video and phone call appointments. ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/PHONE-1-300x300.png "PHONE - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") [Book a Phone Call](https://posy.youcanbook.me) ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/LAPTOP-1-300x300.png "LAPTOP - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") [Book a Virtual Meeting](https://virtualappointment.youcanbook.me) #### To visit our showroom or book an in-person appointment please select one of the options below. --- ### [Wedding Band Portfolio](https://suzannecrudden.com/wedding-band-portfolio/) **Published:** May 29, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Posy-logo-border-transparent.png "Posy logo border transparent - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Posy-logo-border-transparent.png) FIND YOUR INSPIRATION #### OUR CUSTOM WEDDING BAND PORTFOLIO We work hard to provide our clients with exceptional quality custom jewellery pieces using the best possible materials while keeping in mind what is most important to you.

Or perhaps it sounds intimidating and expensive? Let’s take a moment here to explore the custom design process. ### Custom jewellery is unique, one of a kind and just for you. Why would someone choose to make a custom jewellery piece? One reason perhaps is that what you’re looking for isn’t commercially available. We’ve all had those moments of frustration when we realize, after much energy exerted searching, that what we’re looking for just isn’t out there. In these cases custom jewellery is a great option because you can bring your creative vision to the table and together we can make it a reality. Or, if you have already been inspired by a piece that I’ve created, we can sit down and personalize the piece to your preferences. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/custom-process-banner.png "custom process banner - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/custom-jewellery-process/) ### Not just for wedding and engagement rings. Quite simply, it’s for when you want to create something very special. Perhaps it’s to mark a milestone such as an anniversary, birthday, birth or a special occasion such as Mother’s or Father’s Day. Or maybe you picked up some loose stones on your travels and always wanted to make something with them. But, for me, the most touching reason to create custom jewellery is to commemorate. I inherited some faux pearls from my grandmother but I knew what it would mean to some of my younger cousins if I divided them up and made bracelets for each of us. I’ll always remember the bear hug I got from one of my cousins when I gave it to her. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/custom-portfolio-banner.png "custom portfolio banner - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/custom-jewellery-portfolio/) [ ![showing the steps to create custom jewellery from cad to wax to finished ring](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/custom-ring-steps.png "custom ring steps - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/custom-ring-steps.png) ### Custom jewellery can be a leap of faith. It can be hard to commit to something when you don’t know what it’s going to look like when it’s finished. Throughout the process I provide as many methods as possible to communicate what the finished product will look like such as sketches, mock-ups, models or CAD renderings. This ensures there are no surprises! All this leads up to the final ‘reveal’ which is always one of my favourite parts of my job. ### Custom jewellery is making something old new again. Maybe there’s a beautiful piece you’ve inherited from a loved one that just isn’t quite right. Styles change, people have different tastes…but that’s no reason to let a cherished item sit unworn. The most common project I’m asked to do is to re-work an old piece of jewellery into something new. Recycling of old jewellery has gone on for generations, since the beginning of the trade. In fact, did you know that all of the gold ever mined – ever – would fit into 1/3 of the Washington monument? Or that all of the platinum in the world would fit into an average sized house? It’s entirely possible that part of the gold in your possession once came from ancient Egypt or the Incan Empire. Pretty cool thought. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/reusebannernew.png "reusebannernew - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/reuse-old-jewellery/) ### Custom jewellery can be done within a reasonable budget. My mission is to give my clients the best possible value for their dollar no matter how many bucks they have. Together we will create a beautifully designed, finely-made piece while remaining within your budget. ### Not local to Toronto? No problem. By ensuring that our communication is frequent and clear I’ve had great success providing my long distance clients with the custom pieces that they’ve always wanted. I hope this has helped to answer some questions regarding custom jewellery design and inspired you to join me in the process! You can browse my custom portfolio or wedding & engagement ring sections for inspiration or start sketching out some of your own! --- ### [Reusing Jewellery: What Does it Cost?](https://suzannecrudden.com/reusing-jewellery-what-does-it-cost/) **Published:** June 16, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** ## What are the costs involved in reusing jewellery? When reusing jewellery you may have all of the materials we require but it still requires quite a bit of labour to turn one thing into another thing. If we don’t need to add any additional materials then the cost will depend on the amount of labour required to bring your vision to life. ### Why Some Designs Cost More Than Others We generally break designs down into three categories and then within those categories there are two options. The categories are simple designs, intricate designs and very intricate designs. Within these categories the options for the designs are that either a) they are based on an existing model or b) they are being custom created entirely from scratch. So, as you would expect, a simple design based on an existing model will be much less expensive than a very intricate design being custom created from scratch. Examples of simple designs would be plain wedding bands with no stone setting or engagement rings with three or less stones. Intricate design examples could be a half eternity wedding ring or a halo engagement ring. Very intricate designs examples include eternity wedding bands, two tone wedding bands & engagement rings and halo engagement rings with a diamond accent band. Platinum rings will also always fall on the higher end of the cost range because platinum takes so much more labour to finish beautifully. ### What Exactly Are You Paying For? To give you an idea of the labour that is involved in re-using jewellery we’ve provided a list here. - the careful removal and cleaning of gemstones from the original jewellery pieces (sometimes this can take a loooong time) - the preparation of the metal for re-casting - a casting house fee charged to cast your metal separate to their large batches - either computer generated or hand drawn mock ups of the design - a CAD design - either a hand carved or 3D printed wax model of the piece - construction and soldering if necessary - finishing and polishing - setting, the more stones to set, the more expensive it is ### Reusing Jewellery: The Costs Each project is unique and has its own unique set of variables which means each project will also have its own unique quote. That being said, we thought it would be helpful to give you a guideline of average costs for each category and option. Remember, the difference between an existing model and one that is custom created from scratch is that you are limited in your design choices. The design choices are limitless when custom creating from scratch. It may be more expensive but you can re-use your jewellery *and* make absolutely *anything* you want! There is always value in getting exactly what you want. We’ve specifically listed engagement rings (or just custom rings in general) and wedding rings because that it was we do most often. For other pieces such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings and cufflinks we would create an individual quote for you. ### Reusing Jewellery to Create Wedding Rings Category: Simple Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $550+ Category: Intricate Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $750+ Category: Very Intricate Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $950+ Category: Simple Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $850+ Category: Intricate Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $1050+ Category: Very Intricate Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $1250+ ### Reusing Jewellery to Create Engagement Rings or Custom Rings Category: Simple Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $750+ Category: Intricate Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $850+ Category: Very Intricate Option: Existing Model/Hand Carve Starting at: $950+ Category: Simple Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $995+ Category: Intricate Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $1150+ Category: Very Intricate Option: CAD 100% Custom Starting at: $1500+ REQUEST A QUOTE ### Ready to Get Started?

Some alloys are better suited to being re-used than others. Here is the breakdown of re-usable alloys. The best alloy to re-use is any karat of yellow gold. Platinum can also be reused but it is best suited for a uncomplicated design such as a plain wedding ring. Silver can be reused but it doesn’t often make sense to re-use silver from a cost perspective. Unfortunately the alloys used to create white and rose gold makes them very brittle and not suitable to be reused. Any white or rose gold that you have can be taken in to be recycled and a credit can be applied to your project. #### Can I re-use my gemstones? When reusing jewellery we always do an initial assessment while the stones are still set to determine their condition. If there are any that we feel are not in good condition we will advise against using these. Once we receive the go ahead to remove the stones we will do another assessment after the stones are removed from their settings. Sometimes the metal of the setting will obscure chips or damage to stones that are not noticeable until the stones are removed. We will then inform you if there are any that are unusable. There is also always a small risk that the process of removing the stones will cause damage. We take the utmost care when removing stones but with stones that are smaller than 2mm there is a greater risk of damage. If you require more stones we have access to a wide variety including genuine and lab created stones. Also, it’s important to keep in mind when matching old stones to new that they may be cut differently. If new stones are necessary we will ensure the new stone cuts match the old ones. #### Can I change the colour of my gold? Unfortunately not. But there are options! If, for example, you have yellow gold and you would like a white gold ring you could submit your yellow gold for recycling and receive a credit. You can apply that credit to new recycled white gold or I can also source metals from Umicore Precious Metals who are ranked #1 in the Global 100 most sustainable companies in the world index [http://www.umicorepreciousmetals.com/Sustainability/](http://www.umicorepreciousmetals.com/Sustainability/ "Eco-ethical practices") . #### How much will it cost? Since you will be reusing your own materials this will reduce your costs vs. a new piece. This is applicable with all alloys except silver. With silver the labour costs outweigh the material costs. In general, you can expect to save about 1/3 the cost of a new piece. The amount of cost savings depends on the type of materials being reused but if, for example, you are reusing gold and diamonds your cost savings will be significant. If we do not need to add any new materials to your project then what you can expect to pay for are the labour costs involved. The labour includes such things as dismantling your old jewellery & removing the gemstones, preparing the metal, cleaning the gemstones, mock up images, CAD labour charges, a wax model or 3D printed wax model, casting house fees, setting fees (if applicable), final finishing and polishing etc. If you have more than enough gold than is required for your project you can choose to either have it returned to you or use it as a credit toward your piece. Find out more information on the potential costs involved [here](https://suzannecrudden.com/2019/reusing-jewellery-what-does-it-cost). #### What if I'm not local to Toronto and I want to reuse my jewellery? No problem! This process can also easily be completed long distance. Just get in touch with us and we can start the conversation. With clear and frequent communication you will be confident each step of the way! Before shipping your jewellery please get in touch with us so that we can provide you with specific instructions. #### Where do you source your gemstones? We have strong and trustworthy relationships with the gemstone companies that we source my stones from. All of these companies are small, family owned businesses, extremely reputable and committed to the ethical sourcing of gemstones. Our diamond suppliers adhere to the Kimberley Process for diamonds which strictly outlines the protocol and the necessary accompanying documentation that traces the journey of a diamond from the mine to the gemstone dealer. Canadian diamonds are also a great option. Each Canadian diamond is laser-inscribed on the girdle. It’s important to note that Canadian diamonds tend to be about 30% more expensive than other diamonds of similar size and quality. Unfortunately, there is no similar procedure in place for coloured gemstones. Coloured stones are found all over the world but the most abundant sources are typically Southern & South-East Asia as well as South America. If you are not comfortable with using a mined gemstone at all then there are other options. There is a large selection of lab-grown and man-made gemstones available such as lab grown diamonds and Moissanite. The best option, if it’s available, is to re-use a stone from a piece of old or inherited jewellery. That way absolutely nothing new has been mined from the earth. #### Do you work with lab grown gemstones such as lab grown diamonds and moissanite? Absolutely! We enjoy working with lab created stones of any kind. They are very suitable for jewellery-making. Every stone does have it’s vulnerabilities though so it’s important to take these into consideration during the design process. We find the most popular lab grown gemstones are lab sapphires, lab rubies, lab emeralds and lab diamonds. #### What if I don't have enough metal to create my project? When re-using metal we will require about 50-100% more metal than is actually needed to create the piece itself. This is because we need extra metal for the ‘sprue’. During the metal casting process molten metal is forced up a channel (sprue) into the void left by the model of your piece. It is in this void that your piece is created. But in order for the metal to reach this area, we need extra metal to flow up the channel and create the sprue. If you don’t have enough metal we can add new recycled metal or source some from Umicore Precious Metals who are ranked #1 in the Global 100 most sustainable companies in the world index [http://www.umicorepreciousmetals.com/Sustainability/](http://www.umicorepreciousmetals.com/Sustainability/ "Eco-ethical practices") . After we remove the sprue from your piece we can either return it to you or you can also choose to use it as credit. #### I really want to reuse my white or rose gold, what are the risks? White and rose gold are not a great alloys to re-use. White gold is brittle and prone to porosity (teeny, tiny air bubbles) and cracking. Rose gold is also brittle but also doesn’t re-flow very well. That being said, we have re-used both alloys before with success. If you really, really want to re-use your white or rose gold keep these two things in mind. One: always add new metal to the old metal, this will greatly increase the chances of success. Two: only re-use them in an ‘organic’ design where any potential blemishes in the metal can be easily disguised, for example a hammered texture wedding band. #### What if I have metal left over? If you have more than enough gold than is required for your project you can choose to either have it returned to you or use it as a credit toward your piece. #### I want to re-use my gemstone but it's chipped or broken, can you fix it? Yes! In order to fix a gemstone that has worn facet edges or a chip it will need to be re-cut. We have a highly-skilled lapidary (stone-cutter) whom we call on for these gemstone emergencies. Re-cutting the stone will mean some loss of material but we take the greatest care to remove as little as possible. The result – your stone will look brand new! #### Ask us a Question!

Please note that the categories listed below are those defined in the CCPA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact sold, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been shared for value in return. We may sell and may have sold in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of personal information: - Category A: Identifiers - Category B: Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) - Category D: Commercial information - Category F: Internet or other similar network activity ### Share of Personal Information We may share Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third parties: - Service Providers - Payment processors - Our affiliates - Our business partners - Third party vendors to whom You or Your agents authorize Us to disclose Your personal information in connection with products or services We provide to You ### Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through our Service, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so.

We do not sell the personal information of Consumers We actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us. If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information. ### Your Rights under the CCPA The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information.

TIPS TO KEEP YOUR JEWELLERY LOOKING BEAUTIFUL #### Jewellery Care Every piece crafted at by Suzanne Crudden Jewellery is crafted with heirloom quality which keeps longevity in mind. Taking care of jewellery is simple and there are a few steps you can take to ensure your jewels last a lifetime. If you ever have any concerns regarding the maintenance of your jewellery, please feel free to [contact us](https://suzannecrudden.com/2019/contact/). It is a good habit to remove all jewellery before exercising, showering, gardening, heavy lifting, swimming, etc. Remove jewelry before sleeping and put your jewellery on *after* bathing, spraying perfumes, hairsprays, or lotions and cosmetics. Avoid chemical cleaners, abrasive polishing agents, and chlorine. A combination of mild soap, warm water, and a soft toothbrush may be used for cleaning. You can soak most jewels in this solution for 30 minutes to remove more stubborn dirt. [ ![](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/take-care-of-your-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg "take care of your engagement ring - Suzanne Crudden Custom Jewellery") ](https://suzannecrudden.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/take-care-of-your-engagement-ring-700x600.jpg) ##### GOLD/PLATINUM CARE Gold is a beautiful precious metal that is one of the least reactive of all metals. However, we do recommend removing any gold jewellery before swimming in chlorine water or handling chemicals as there is potential for spotting. Prongs may weaken over time as they get caught on clothes, are dropped, and general every day wear can take its toll. Take care not to sleep in your jewellery (prongs can catch on blankets and bend or chains can stretch) and do not clean jewellery with toothpaste as it can scratch metal and harden under stones. ##### GEMSTONE CARE Refrain from using chemical cleaning agents on gemstones. A gentle detergent like dawn dish soap mixed with warm water can be used with a soft toothbrush to scrub around and beneath the stone to clean and restore sparkle. Avoid wearing your gemstone jewellery in hot tubs or natural hot springs which may cause irreparable damage to certain sensitive gemstones like opals or turquoise. Have your gemstone settings checked at least once a year. ##### DIAMOND & MOISSANITE CARE A gentle detergent like dawn dish soap mixed with warm water can be used with a soft toothbrush to scrub around and beneath the stone to clean and restore sparkle. You can also use a solution of 1 part Mr. Clean to 3 parts warm water. Let the jewellery soak then scrub with a soft toothbrush. ##### **FINDING THE RIGHT FIT** Fingers can swell and shrink with each season and even their shapes can change. Knuckles often grow larger as we age, and arthritis can make joints swell. Your fingers will be at their smallest when you’re cold and at their largest in the middle of a summer heat wave. Even diet can have an effect on finger size. Lots of salt or water retention will also make your fingers swell. Watch your when washing your hands to ensure that your ring doesn’t slip off. The coldness of the water will reduce the diameter of your finger and the ring may be more likely to slip off. This is also why you should never swim in a pool or body of water while wearing your rings. Be sure to take them off before diving in! The converse problem, of course, is when a ring is too tight. This is often an issue that arises with pregnancy. Always ensure that you’re checking the fit of your rings and that you’re still able to remove them. If at any point you feel they are getting too tight take them off and secure them in a safe place. Once your finger settles down again you’ll be able to put them back on or they can usually be resized if necessary. This precaution will save you from having to have them cut off in the emergency room! If you ever feel like your rings might be getting too tight immerse your hand in very cold water for as long as you can stand it, cover your fingers with dish soap and then try to slip your rings off. ##### **REGULAR MAINTENANCE** Just like with your car it’s a good idea to bring your rings in for regular maintenance. Rings take quite a beating being worn on your hands everyday as they get scraped and knocked about. Over time the prongs on your settings may wear down or get bent out of shape. The metal around bezel settings can also wear with time. If you’re at all concerned bring your rings in to me or a local jeweller to give them an assessment. ##### **SOME STONES ARE TOUGHER THAN OTHERS** As noted above some gemstones are not as tough as others. Stones like emerald, opal, pearl, turquoise, amethyst, citrine, quartz, tourmaline, moonstone, garnet as well as many more don’t stand up to everyday wear the same way a diamond will (but even a diamond can break!). Over time the facet corners of the stones will abraid and reveal the matte material underneath. This will give your gem a cloudy look. The gemstone can potentially be repolished by a lapidary but that will involve some labour and expense. If possible it is better to wear rings with these types of gemstones on special occassions rather than everyday. If you do want to wear them every day I highly recommend that you remove your ring before doing gardening, hitting the gym, going on an outdoor adventure, swimming or doing any kind of strenuous activity. ##### **PEARLS** The rule with pearls is first off, last on. Keep this simple rule in mind whenever taking your pearls off or putting them on. Pearls should be the first thing you remove at the end of the day and the last thing you put on after getting ready for the day. Pearls are soft and vulnerable to harsh chemicals in hair spray, make up and perfume. Not only that but the silk thread that pearls are knotted on is absorbent and will take in the scent of perfume and hold on to it for years. This silk thread can also stretch over time and become vulnerable to breaking. If you ever notice that there is a bit of a gap between your pearls and the thread is exposed it’s time to get your pearls re-knotted. There isn’t much you can do to clean pearls really but if you do notice any spots you can try rubbing them with a slightly damp soft cloth. ##### **HIGH POLISH VS MATTE FINISH** Typically when you first receive your ring it will have been highly polished to a mirror finish. This type of polish can only be achieved by a professional jeweller using a polishing machine and polishing compounds. At home you could purchase a polishing cloth or rouge cloth to give a slight shine to your pieces. If you would ever like to repolish your ring to a mirror finish feel free to bring it back to me. Matte finishes on the other hand are created using a special pad and I can give you one to take home and keep those matte finishes looking just right. --- ### [About Suzanne](https://suzannecrudden.com/about-suzanne/) **Published:** April 15, 2025 **Author:** Suzanne Crudden **Content:** #### Suzanne Crudden is an accomplished jewellery designer and goldsmith in Toronto. She specializes in custom jewellery, wedding & engagement rings and reusing old jewellery. #### Suzanne is one of the founders of Posy Fine Jewellery.

Her creativity was encouraged and she spent hours sketching or designing clothes for her Princess Diana paper doll. Suzanne knew from an early age that she either wanted to be a designer or ‘Indiana Jones’. When it came time to make post-secondary school decisions she decided to pursue both fine art and anthropology at the University of Toronto where she earned her bachelor’s degree four years later. After graduation Suzanne spent some valuable and interesting time in the hospitality industry.

Within a year after graduation Suzanne opened up her own jewellery studio, flux + form, with fellow goldsmith and best friend Kim Drosdick. After a few years flux + form welcomed a third owner, colleague and friend, Carey Pearson.
