These are stunning Mark, and so different! They will always get the “wow” reaction when worn.

Definitely “oh WOW”! Question, having never used dinosaur bone - how sturdy is it? How will it hold up to constant wear?
I love the warm colors of the bone against the gold, and the contrast with the diamond and platinum.

Dinosaur bone can very in durability. The material I use has a very high silica content which makes it hard and durable for rings. It can also have a high calcite content which will make it soft and not durable for rings or bracelets. The high quality hard agate bone is just as durable as most agates and will wear well in rings. Of course like any other ring stone, diamonds should not be worn on the finger next to it because they will scratch or chip gembone and any other stones including other diamond rings.
