Fairtrade yellow gold Arris ring with Chrysoberyl

$3,378.00

In stock and available for immediate delivery

This 'Parrot' chrysoberyl stone, forming part of McCaul’s Fairtrade collection, is a rare find. Originating from Madagascar, this eye-catching lime green stone has an amazing vibrancy with plays of yellow and deeper hued greens. These vivid colours are enhanced by the wide yellow gold bezel surrounding the stone and it looks especially vibrant against the rich hues of the 18 carat Fairtrade yellow gold in this stunning organically shaped Arris Ring.   Ethically and responsibly mined, this chrysoberyl was supplied by our partner Wennick-Lefèvre and comes with its own certificate of origin. Like each of Wennick-Lefèvre's chrysoberyl, this gemstone is untreated, meaning it has not had any form of treatment, including heat-treatment, to enhance its colour or clarity, retaining a rare and completely natural beauty. 

Each of our Fairtrade Arris rings are sculpted by hand to complement the size and shape of the individual gemstone being set and created with generous amounts of 18 ct Fairtrade yellow gold. Crafted to last generations, this ring is perfect for everyday wear. 

Free worldwide shipping on all orders and 90 days for returns.

Wennick–Lefévre

Ethically and responsibly mined

Each of Wennick–Lefévre’s gemstones are untreated and unheated, maintaining their inherit natural beauty. Untreated natural gemstones are regarded as the very finest and most precious. Only 1% of the coloured gemstones set in jewellery are truly natural, while the remaining 99% are enhanced by man using added chemicals and heat-treatment. 

Rough cut stones in hand

From the source

Mined by hand

The sapphires and chrysoberyl in our W-L collection were mined in Ilakaka, Madagascar, an area with a well-developed tradition of small-scale gem mining. Many of the mines in Ilakaka are operated as collectives and it is the miners themselves that sell the stones directly. Wennick-Lefèvre select and buy each of their gemstones in-person and always on site, along with visiting the mines to assess the conditions, and only buying from miners and dealers they know. 

To the machine

Cut with care

The stones are then cut in Sri Lanka in a lapidary factory, Sunrise Facets, owned in partnership between Wennick-Lefèvre and Nilanthi Thisera, a colleague and long time friend. Nilanthi is the first woman in Sri Lanka to own and run a cutting factory. Together they partnered to build a cutting factory based on the values of equality, respect, and a healthy life/work balance.

To the finished product

Sparkling stones

Beautifually cut and stunning natural colours, the sapphires and chyrosoberyl that we have used from W-L really are the most unique stones. You can find all of the pieces in our Fairtrade collection here. Please get in touch if you would like to learn more about our Fairtrade pieces or to learn about how to commission your own individual piece.
