Before you choose
Long fingers carry tall settings; working hands want a bezel or a low prong. If you wear gloves or type all day, height is the first decision, not the last.
A ring worn daily needs 8 or harder on the Mohs scale: sapphire, spinel, diamond. Softer stones like opal and emerald are occasion stones, or need protective settings.
Fingers run a half size larger by evening and in summer. We size to your afternoon measurement and resize free within two sizes.
A well-cut smaller stone reads larger and livelier than a lazy big one. This is where our money goes, and where yours should.
The short answer
Rhodolite garnet cocktail rings at Made With Color: one one of a kind work at $2,240, each built around a stone chosen loose, in daylight, in New York. Garnet at its coolest, raspberry with violet under it. Every stone ships with a passport naming origin, carat, cut, and any treatment in plain words. A big stone worn for the pleasure of the wearer, born in Prohibition parlors and never fully domesticated.
Garnet at its coolest, raspberry with violet under it. We choose every stone loose, in daylight, and every work above carries a passport that says exactly what it is.
Buy the color you cannot stop looking at, at least 10 mm of it. Subtle defeats the point.
Rhodolite garnet is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. For daily rings, choose a bezel or low prongs; for earrings and pendants, wear it freely.
Measure a ring you already own at the end of the day, when fingers run largest.
Decide setting height first. Hands that type, garden, or lift want the stone low.
The right, traditionally, and any finger it fits. It marks money you earned and evenings you intend to enjoy.
Rhodolite garnet is 7.5 / 10 on the Mohs scale. A ring takes more knocks than any other jewel. Below 8 on the Mohs scale, choose a bezel or a low setting.
Rhodolite garnet is the Jan birthstone and the traditional stone of the 2nd anniversary. We set it for both, and for no occasion at all.
Untreated unless the passport says otherwise. When a stone of ours is heated or grown in a lab, the passport says so in that word, in the same type size as everything else, and the price reflects it.
A right-hand ring takes fewer knocks than a left. Still, high cocktail settings are for days that end in company.
Today, one work at $2,240. Each is one of a kind, so the page moves as stones sell and new ones are set.
