The conflict-free, two-point, round diamond has F color with VS 1-2 clarity, for those of you who know your 4 Cs . The ring is size 6.5 and it\u2019s one of a kind. (Size adjustment is possible.) The retail price is $2375 &#8230; and don\u2019t forget that those kids will have at least a month&#8217;s worth of lunches. ]Woot!<\/p>\n<p>To buy the ring, contact Monica at ANZA Gems via info@anzagems.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July, I debuted the ruby dangle ring that I created for ANZA Gems.
