The Mini July Stackable is made with a genuine, red Ruby (which has a bit more of a maroon color to it than January's Garnet). The Ruby has been cut into a perfect rectangular shape. This mini collection is 100% handmade with real, authentic stones in their polished form.Often when you buy a "birthstone ring" from somewhere else, it's actually just a piece of plastic (CZ) that is dyed to be the color of Ruby. But that is NOT the case here! This is an actual Ruby. At Little Sycamore, you'll always be getting the real authentic stuff. My vision for these is for you to grow your collection over time- a ring to represent a new baby, to celebrate a 10 year anniversary, your spouse's birthstone, to honor your grandmother, to treat yourself to your own gorgeous birthstone, a stack of your kiddos, a ring to represent the tender month you lost someone but a way to wear the memory of their beautiful life, or just a unique way to wear your favorite color. You can build your ring stack to wear all together, layer on different fingers, or change it up every day depending on your outfit. I can’t wait to see what you’ll represent and to hear the meaning behind your Little Sycamore ring stack! For ring stacks, I recommend ordering a variety of sizes and sizing up because a stack is more comfortable that way. More advice about this can be found on my @littlesycamore instagram highlights. Choosing a FILLED vs SOLID ring:Gold/rose FILLED is gold bonded in a way that is 100x thicker than if it were plated in gold, so it is similar to solid gold but at a much more affordable price. Gold/rose filled is a very high quality and tarnish resistant material that should last many years of everyday use if cared for well. But if you order in SOLID yellow/rose/white gold or in SOLID silver, the benefit is that it is literally impossible for the metal to ever wear down to a base metal beneath (since is is solid through and through), even after a lifetime of everyday use.

These Mini Birthstones are made to order in the size and metal you request. Because of this they are final sale (no exceptions) & by ordering you are agreeing to that policy. xox Kelsey
