The Rough Cut





I love these solitaire rings from Bona Drag. The rough cut stones are all uniquely beautiful.

The top ones are made from Herkimer diamond - a double pointed quartz crystals. According to their website during the Civil War unscrupulous jewelers would often try to pass these off as real diamonds.

The bottom image is 10Kt gold with rough cut emeralds.
