$3190.00

Our Persephone Engagement Ring with Gems is inspired by the goddess Persephone. A powerful goddess of divine duality and balance. To wear this ring is to embody that balance, as the leaves of the flowers come forth and outward, as Persephone was by the flames of Hades, into the Sun-full Spring. Shown in 14K White Gold with a 1.0ct diamond.

DESIGNER

Helen Chantler is Reflective Jewelry's founder. Originally from England, Helen spent much of her childhood in Southeast Asia — and has traveled extensively to many countries across the globe. When she eventually landed in Santa Fe, NM in 1986; she began her foray into metalwork as a leather belt-making apprentice. She soon evolved into jewelry-making at the same shop, delving into traditional handmaking techniques of the American southwest.

In Helen's extensive designs, developed over nearly 3 decades, you'll find interwoven inspirations from Helen's Celtic heritage, her fierce connection to Mother Nature, and her deep love of her chosen hometown of Santa Fe. Helen's handmaking techniques are an extremely rare talent in today's world, and the quality her love of craft lends to her creations is unparalleled. Learn more about her work and inspiration here.

SYMBOLIC MEANING

Persephone

We named this ring Persephone, after the daughter of goddess Demeter. Persephone was the wife of Hades, Lord of the Underworld—also known as the source of all riches. Thus, she was the Queen of Underworld. The Greek myth tells of her disappearing in the fall and rising up again in the spring. Her appearance represents the cathartic and mysterious waking up of the earth at the time of the vernal equinox.

\r\nSee how the vine depicted around the ring leaps, sometimes taking a form that appears almost human. Its angles and movement show intent and focus. This is for a couple that loves intensity and creativity. They are comfortable taking the plunge into the depth, the darkness of nature, from which the ultimate wellsprings of life burst forth.

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

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.

Correct Ring Sizing: Details

Any questions? Feel free to give us a call.

Number of Accent Gems: 4 Details

With some of our designs, the number of accent gems varies according to the size. Our prices are generally based on accent stones for rings between sizes six and nine. If we need more gems or less gems that we've priced this out for, we will contact you.
