DESIGNER

This design is part of Reflective Jewelry's classic Wedding and Engagement Ring collection. For those who prefer traditional styles, but don't want to sacrifice Ethics, our Creative Director, Helen Chantler, has selected a small, premier collection to offer in Fairtrade Gold.

Some of these designs were originally created in a collaborative process between our artisan team and our customers and involved repurposing diamonds, gems, and gold. We have the capacity to create just about any classic or custom Wedding Ring style using your material or ours.

HOW WE CARE FOR YOU

Superb Customer Care

For over 25 years, we've built our company through the warm and personable relationships we have with our customers. When you call us during our business hours, you will never be recorded for "quality assurance." And during the day, you will almost always get to talk directly with Cinema, our Production Coordinator who has been with us for many years; or with Marc, one of our owners.

As a small business of just six people, we all take a lot of pride in helping you find exactly what you want — especially in the custom jewelry design process, which is much of what we do. We offer personal attention and accountability that only a well-established small studio can provide.

ETHICAL SOURCING

Accent Gemstones: Diamond

Our accent diamonds either come from certified recycled sources, or are lab grown. We source our accent sapphires from companies that have a traceable and transparent supply chain. Most other accent gems are purchased on the open market, and are not available from sources that we can trace all the way back to the mine. If you want more information on a specific gemstone, contact us.

Our Ethical Leadership:

We pioneered ethical sourcing in North America and started making jewelry with Fairtrade Gold in 2011. In April 2015, we became the first certified Fairtrade Gold jeweler in the USA.

We have attempted to work for years with Fairtrade International as a commercial liaison to create a viable commercial program that would build the movement. Because of major interests that oppose such a move (while claiming to support it), we are still the only certified Fairtrade Gold jeweler in the USA.

We have been active in these issues for over 15 years; from founding Fair Jewelry Action, the first ethical jewelry blog that evolved into a human rights and environmental justice network, to running numerous campaigns to the public and jewelry trade promoting environmental justice and human rights. Most recently we published the Ethical Jewelry Exposé and published several feature articles in Jewellery Business Magazine.

In our own bio-region, we initiated and co-led a campaign to successfully block a gold mine south of our Santa Fe home and remain active on local boards to preserve Santa Fe and surrounding regions from drilling and mining.

Metal Source: Certified Fairtrade Gold

This piece is made using Certified Fairtrade Gold, the most precious gold in the world. Fairtrade Gold offers the millions of small scale miners within developing countries their best chance to escape poverty and exploitation. When you purchase a piece of jewelry crafted from Fairtrade Gold, you're making a real difference to the community that sourced it.

Gold Source:

Our two-tone, gold-over-silver pieces are made entirely with gold from a Fairtrade certified mine.

With solid gold pieces, we offer recycled gold and Fairtrade Gold. Here’s a comparison of the two. But here’s the bottom line: recycled gold has no ecological or social value. It is dirty gold rebranded as eco-friendly.

Please note: we started 2021 by trading 12 ounces of gold purchased from customers for 10 ounces of Fairtrade Gold, and we are transitioning to using Fairtrade Gold throughout our in-house manufacturing, whether customers choose the extra expense or not. Sometimes our mounts and bezels are still made with recycled gold, because they are not yet available in Fairtrade Gold.

Fairtrade offers the millions of people working in artisanal mining in developing countries the best chance to work their way out of poverty and exploitation. Fairtrade Gold is mined by small-scale miners in a safe, fair, and ecologically-responsible manner.

If you would like specific information, contact us.

Gemstone Source:

We source our larger diamonds, .25 carats and above, from Canada. Smaller diamonds are recycled. Our sapphires, rubies, aquamarines, and many of our emeralds are traceable to a few specific small-scale mines. We work with a world class gem dealer who has exceptional relationships with the local mining communities. He has even been featured in National Geographic. We’ve known him personally for over twenty years and through him we can offer a solid chain of custody. With other gemstones, such as garnets, peridot, amethyst and topaz, we do not know the conditions of the mining or cutting facility. Click Here to learn more about ethical gem issues.

Comfort fit: This ring is one of our Comfort Fit rings Details

Comfort Fit is a descriptive term that describes the curvature of the inside surface of these rings. While many rings are flat on the interior surface, the center of a Comfort Fit interior surface is convex. That convex surface is what primarily touches the flesh of your finger. The Comfort Fit ring's outer edges are slightly wider than the center and therefore has less contact with your skin. Making it a more comfortable fit.

Correct Ring Sizing: Details

If you are determining your size, please use a narrow sizing band for rings 4mm and under. Use a wide sizing band for rings over 4mm. We can send you a ring sizer for free upon request. You can also determine your own size by measuring an existing ring on our ring sizing document here. Please be as accurate as possible, our rings are handmade individually as they are ordered. Any questions? Feel free to give us a call.

Free Resizing of Rings: Details

We will resize your ring once for free within thirty days of the original purchase. Please obtain the correct size to the best of your ability. All our rings are handmade individually upon ordering. Remaking your ring second time will delay your enjoying your new ring. Questions? Give us a call.
