The Marcello Engagement Ring was created with a richness of symbolism in mind. Two outer bands were intended for the receptivity of the feminine moon, and act as a shell for the inner band. This ring, in essence, represents the harmonious union of opposites between two strong individuals, and the fruit of that union is represented within the gem of magnificence. Shown in Select Two Tone with a .5ct gemstone

DESIGNER

Paulina Ramirez is an international jewelry designer, having studied art in a wide range of cultural milieus. She was born in Santiago, Chile, where she worked at a young age under the tutelage of some of the most famous Chilean jewelers. Early on she developed a reputation for her refined and exquisite metal work. She works with bold and dramatic lines, creating both abstract and pictorial motifs that are rooted in both her tribal and Spanish South American roots. In many of her designs, you can see the influence of the land and cultural fusion, where craftsmanship and tradition meets in a contemporary aesthetic. Over the past several years, her work has taken on a sparsness, perhaps in context to the vast desert landscapes in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico; where she currently produces her designs, and often to the tunes of Leonard Cohen. In addition to her fine career as a jewelry designer, Paulina has a wide variety interests; from politics, art, poetry and music to installation, sculpture and photography. She also teaches yoga and Ayurvedic medicine.

SYMBOLIC MEANING

Marcello

This ring is elegant, simple and understated; and yet it is rich with symbolism. Two silver bands, symbolic of the receptivity of the feminine moon, act as a container for an elegant band of gold, representing masculine, solar energy. The identity is clear, defined and elegant. Each has its own separate circle, clearly distinct; and yet they touch, embrace. The two feminine bands holds the masculine; the masculine enlivens the feminine. This ring, in essence represents the harmonious union of opposite between two strong individuals.

Superb Customer Care

For over 25 years, we've built our company through the warm and personable relationships we have with our customers.

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

Center Gemstone: Emerald

Our Emeralds are purchased directly from small scale miners in Zambia and Afghanistan, who dig for gems with shovels and picks, instead of environmentally disastrous machinery. The rough material is then polished in Israel.

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.

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.
