a hardness of 8.5. It can also withstand temperatures up to 1200 degrees
and is faceted on a diamond wheel just like a genuine diamond. This
gives the stone a truly, diamond - like appearance. The side stones
are high quality simulated birthstones. Unlike traditional birthstone
styles , we put the
birthstones on the side and Dia' Monet in the center giving the ring
the look of an expensive diamond ring.

From Raw Gold To Finished Products
From Raw gold to finished products, our birthstones are
made in our family-run jewelry factory. The method we use is called
Lost Wax Casting which goes back thousands of years. We begin the process
by making a wax mold for each ring. The wax is placed into a flask and
then into an oven and burned out at 1300 degrees. The wax melts away
leaving a cavity which we then pour gold into. After a variety of grinding
and sanding steps, the ring is now ready for stone setting. This is
where the ring really comes to life. The stones are handset and then
we polish the ring to a fine finish and another Amy & Andy creation
is born.
