"What can I say, not only is the ring an exquisite piece of art, but the service and experience was phenomenal as well. I informed Melanie that I needed the ring by a certain date for my proposal and she ensured that it arrived with time to spare - Even overnight shipping it for me. She worked with me to customize the ring to fit what I wanted for my intended, and did not extort me for large sums of money for the upgrades like jewelry stores I have visited before have tried to do. The ring is remarkable and beautiful, completely stunning. It was also fairly priced, which blew me away as well. My fiance was floored when she saw it. I would recommend anyone looking for a ring go to Rare Earth." (J. Gale)* * *
"My ring came right on schedule and it was more beautiful than the picture gives credit! I'm always getting compliments on it's uniqueness and I was even complimented by another jeweler on it's beauty. I loved working with Melanie and she was so helpful and patient with all of my questions. I almost wish I could get engaged again so I can buy more RareEarth rings!" (B. Gray)

"I just received this ring - I am so pleased with the quality, fit, and appearance. I just love it! I was initially hesitant to order this fine jewelry without having seen it or trying it on. However, I emailed the designer with my reservations, she was very reassuring and eliminated my trepidation. The ring exceeded my expectations and I am very very happy I made this purchase. Also, the designer's communications with me were excellent, she kept me informed of every step and when to expect delivery." (D. Vine)

Like most people I was fairly hesitant about purchasing a piece of jewelry online without physically seeing it. However! I can say for sure I'm so happy I purchased from RareEarth! I had been searching and searching for the perfect engagement ring for my now fiancé. I asked my close friend where he got his wife's ring at cause it is so gorgeous, and he referred me to this shop! I was blown away by Melanie's story of her wonderful jewelry making and even more blown away by the quality of items she had too! Let me tell you though, the pictures do not even come close to capturing this stunning craftsmanship. It is EXACTLY what I wanted and so much more! You will NOT go wrong buying any piece from Melanie. And you won't get better customer service anywhere else. 100/100 I recommend to anyone around. Thank you so much Melanie!" (S. Wilcox)

"Dealing with Melanie was a dream. The ordering process was fast and she maintained communication throughout. When the rings arrived, they were even more stunning than pictured. My fiance' couldn't be happier with them. The engagement ring was only slightly too big when received, so we had it sized with a local jeweler. When we dropped it off, she raved on and on about the uniqueness and beauty of the ring. When we picked it up a week later, she continued to rave about the quality and craftsmanship. We knew by looking at them that the rings were amazing, but it was great to have that confirmed by an expert. If you're considering a purchase from RareEarth, you will not be disappointed." (D. Burwell)

"A perfect buying experience, from start to finish. Melanie was easy to work with and super flexible with any requests I had. I couldn't be any happier with this purchase and I know the girl I propose to will be stunned with this ring. Thanks once again! Cheers!" (A. Johnston)
I just received my wedding band. I tried it on to make sure it fits, and I have a problem with it. It's that I'm now devastated that I have to wait until my wedding day to wear it because it is SO BEAUTIFUL that I can't take it off!!!
In all seriousness - it's absolutely perfect. It fits like a matching set with my engagement ring, and the workmanship is so crisp and lovely. Honestly, thank you so much. This is exactly what I wanted. I wasn't even sure that I wanted a wedding band at all until I came across your design, and now that it's here I'm awestruck. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so grateful. (Helena Z.)
"RareEarth Jewellery is reliable, timely, understanding, accommodating, and a bunch more terrific adjectives, but above all else, she makes beautiful jewelry." (R.K.)

"Thank you Melanie! My ring is more amazing than I could have imagined! We live in Australia and had been looking around for a long time. When I came across Rare Earth, I fell in love! I was hesitant at first, purchasing an item sight unseen from another country, but Melanie's professionalism made the decision an easy one. The ring is so delicate and pretty, the photographs do not do it justice! The prompt service, stunning workmanship and professional advice has ensured that we will be a happily returning customer! Thanks again!" (K. Beard)

My boyfriend and I were terrified making such a big and important purchase online as you hear so many horror stories of bad products. As we live in Northern Ireland we had no idea how the process would work with us or how secure the shipping would be! the ring arrived securely two weeks early and in a gorgeous leather box with a perfect ribbon! We had searched for ages for a ring of good quality in the setting I loved and couldn't find any in the shops here at home! That's when we turned to Melanie and after reading all the fabulous reviews and most importantly seeing pictures of people and their products we took the plunge! Melanie was so helpful, and on arrival we had the ring valued for insurance and the jeweller gushed over the quality! Make the purchase! (S. McCabe)

"Very happy with my purchase! Melanie was great - she gave me a timeline for completion, and then notified me when it was shipped and provided a tracking number and overnight delivery. The ring itself is BEAUTIFUL. We spent a few weeks trying on rings at various jewelers, and even started working on a custom design, but I'm so happy we went with this ring, even though I wasn't able to try it on in person. It is absolutely stunning." (N. Stettler)

"Ring arrived on time and the craftsmanship is incredible. Shipping box was discrete and the ring appraised well. My fiancé is very happy with the choice and I was happy with the professionalism of those taking my order. I was contacted when it shipped and again to confirm arrival. Very pleased and will do business with Rare Earth in the future." (R. Adair)

Love, love, love! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Although this is a new piece of jewelry, this ring brings back so many memories of how excited and blessed I felt with my engagement ring from Nick 24 years ago. I couldn't stop looking at my engagement ring. I felt like such a lucky girl. Now, after 23 years of marriage, I'm far from being a "girl," but my heart is as light and giddy as when I was newly engaged. My wedding ring represented all the possibilities that could be in our new future as husband and wife. This ring beautifully adds to that symbolism, and is a reminder of not just what we have, but what we have gone through, and what we can endure, together. Thank you for creating and making such a heartfelt survivorship anniversary ring for us. We are truly grateful! (S. Harris)

My fiancée loves the ring so very much. Neither one of us has been able to stop looking at it the past few weeks. We went for a celebratory drink right after I gave it to her and the waitress said, "Oh my! that ring! Can I see it?!" before she even greeted us. She brought her 2 friends over to look at it and only then took our drink orders. Obviously, my fiancée, Erin, wears it proudly. Thanks again for all the skill and special care you put into making this for us. It means so much. (H. Robinson)

"We were super nervous about ordering my wedding rings online, RareEarth however surpassed all our expectations. Melanie was easy to contact and answered all my questions along the way. The dedication to RareEarth's workmanship is reflected in the absolutely exquisite rings we bought from them. The picture doesn't do them justice, when we received the rings through secured mail it was clear the quality was genuine. Our experience with RareEarth has been a pleasantly positive one and we will be future customers!" (M. Ramirez)

"My ring arrived just in time for Christmas. Its sparkle is brilliant! I love its uniqueness and the fact that you can't just walk into a jewellry store and see it in a display case. Ordering was a breeze, Melanie is always quick to respond and reassure and is there every step of the way. My fiance and I are extremely pleased with our purchase." (R. Araujo)

"My fiancé purchased my engagement ring from Melanie and it is the most beautiful thing ever! I have recieved so many compliments on it. There was no question that I would also be ordering my wedding band from her. I just received it in the mail the other day and all I can say is Melanie did it again. Her craftsmanship is gorgeous. Do not hesitate to work with Rare Earth!!" (Keri)

I can't wait to wear it, I can imagine i'll b getting a lot of comments. Its one of a kind :-) Melanie stayed in touch and kept me updated, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from her." (S. Babbs)
"Where do I begin? Melanie was so accommodating from the start (I live overseas) and easy to work with. I was a bit nervous ordering rings online and not seeing them in person, but I am so glad I did because I am blown away. I just received my ring today and it is GORGEOUS. Like other reviewers have said, the pictures do not do the rings justice at all. It is dainty and so sparkly. I would highly recommend purchasing jewelry from Rare Earth, you will not be disappointed!!" (S. Callahan)

"Absolutely love the ring! The picture does not give this ring justice because it is so beautiful and my wife was extremely happy to get this ring as a mothers ring for the birth of our son. Just a plain out astonishing ring when we saw it in person. Would gladly do business with RareEarth again extremely fast but delicate and beautiful work. Thank you once again." (R. Rostocil)

"I love my engagement and wedding rings! We wanted something custom, made by a real person, and also something conflict-free. Rare Earth was the perfect choice. We were able to email back and forth with the jeweler to make sure everything was right before they were created. I went to a local (generic) jeweler to have my ring finger sized professionally before we ordered online. What a beauty! So dainty yet durable. The white sapphire center stone takes on a slight pink or blue hue in some lighting, which I think is so lovely and definitely unique. I definitely recommend Rare Earth's jewelry. It's a win!" (Studentsarah)

"It was a pleasure working with Melanie, she helped me pick a very nice stone & customized the ring to my liking. If you are worried about buying online DON'T be. When the ring came in the mail 2 Weeks Earlier than expected I was stunned by how beautiful it was in person. I am 100% satisfied! billing, shipping (to Canada) and my entire experience with RareEarth was excellent. I'll be back for matching wedding bands!" (G. Michael)

"Thank you Melanie for a wonderful service! My ring is stunning and I'm delighted with it. The quality of the workmanship is first class and I'm proud to have a one of a kind piece.

"Melanie is a pleasure to do business with. She was able to customize a ring down to the finest detail. Her dedication and expert craftsmanship shines through the brilliance, beauty and meticulous detail of this very fine jewelry. I was hesitant to invest in a ring without seeing it first, but I found this hesitation was unwarranted, and the investment was absolutely worth it. Melanie's work is top of the line, and she is flexible and very willing to work with you, answer all of your questions, and make the transaction as comfortable as possible. All in all, great customer service, expert craftsmanship, conflict-free and fair trade stones, and it is very clear she is passionate and cares about every project. It is rare to find someone in this business who is in it for the art, not just profit. She is one of those artists and happens to be very good at what she does! HIGHLY Recommended." (A. Nelson)

"I looked all over the my local area for a ring that was similar but it was very difficult to get anything even close. I was nervous to order the ring online however, after reading all the reviews I was comfortable doing so. I must say I am 100% happy with my choice to order the rings from Melanie. She was very responsive via email and on the phone. The picture online does not do it any justice in person. My Wife to be is VERY happy and she loves it! I highly recommend Rare Earth." (J. Rios)
"My rings arrived today! They're gorgeous!! I can't believe how much they sparkle!! You did a beautiful job on them! I can't wait to wear them this weekend & forever & show them off!! :0) I feel bad saying this, but also very proud LOL these rings are FAR prettier than any of my friend's rings I've seen! LOL thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :0) I must've said wow about 10 times after opening the ring box, they're gorgeous! I love how sleek & thin the bands are! My soon to be fiancé is very impressed as well. I will be telling everyone of your business & beautiful work. I can't thank you enough! Melanie you do AMAZING work, I've never seen a ring I've loved more than this one, I can't wait to grow old with the love of my life wearing this gorgeous set. Thanks ever so much!" (K. Stirling)

"WOW! That's all I can say since receiving my ring. It is absolutely stunning. Even prettier than in the photos!!! I'm so pleased with this purchase. Melanie is a true artist and craftsperson. I would recommend her to anyone...and suspect I will be from the number of comments I'll be getting on my rings. Thanks again!" (A. Burki)

"Just beautiful! My fiance was smart enough to let me pick out my own ring. I was set on morganite and rose gold. I looked at all the local shops and had no luck. I looked into have one special ordered through them but the prices were outrageous for a morganite center stone. I was extremely nervous about ordering online. Would I like it on my hand? Quality? Tons of doubts. I saw this setting and loved the simplicity and beauty of it. I decided to go for it. It is perfect! It even shipped early. Great experience. I would use Rare Earth anytime. Melanie was fantastic!" (C. Moreno)
* * *
"Absolutely stunning! More beautiful than the pictures and I did not think that was possible. Great communication with Melanie and she answered all my questions quickly. Arrived much faster than expected. You can truly tell that only the highest quality stones were used. Could go on and on about how wonderful the ring is. Will definitely be back :)" (B. McClure)

"Ring was amazing. Service was amazing. She was quick to answer my many many questions and calmed my nerves about buying a ring and wedding band online from a picture across the country. I would strongly recommend Rare Earth to anyone looking for a beautiful ring or jewelry." (R. Springer)

"Two words. "Simply beautiful". Even though it's considered an engagement ring, I bought it to wear as a gemstone ring. Love the combination of the morganite with the rose gold. Truly stunning. I love it!" (Kellee)

"My girlfriend/new fiance loved the ring so much! It is soooooooooooo sparkly! It has intense fire, and can catch your eye from across a room. It's more beautiful than the pictures can show. It was delivered quickly and came in a very nice jewelry box. I would highly recommend this seller and this ring!" (GeneralJoe)

"I have been eagerly waiting to give this to a friend who did something life-changing for me. I finally gave it to her this week and she was blown away and has worn it every day since. It is a beautiful stone and a treasure overall. If we didn't work together, I would buy one for myself. It's such a special piece. I can't believe I hesitated buying it -- the Morganite is the star and the rose gold really sets it off perfectly. Thank you, Melanie!" (S. Folder)

"This ring is gorgeous! The Alexandrite is stunning with deep colors, a notable color change and sparkles brilliantly. Diamonds and small work around it are beautiful and looks solid all around. Customer service was quick and handled all questions professionally.
Very happy with the purchase. Would recommend and will be a return customer in the future!" (E. Herold)

"I just received my rings today (also purchased the matching band) and I absolutely love it! When hubby and I got married 18 years ago, he couldn't afford a proper engagement ring but I was finally able to get the ring I always dreamed of having. After searching for more than a year, this Morganite ring was the one I kept coming back to even though hubby really wanted me to buy a diamond ring from Blue Nile. I wanted something different from the typical diamond and this one is so lovely, delicate looking and beautiful. I love the light pink in the Morganite and it's much more affordable than diamond. The rings came within the 6 week time as stated and the rings itself fit perfectly. I'm happy with my purchase and would buy from this seller again as well as recommend it to my friends. Thank you Rare Earth!" (A. Glass)

"I received my engagement ring from this shop in November and knew that I wanted the wedding band to match. Shipping, care for detail and quality again exceeded expectations -- would recommend and order from again! Thank you!" (K. Madison)

"My husband gave me the ring with 3 oval stones. It took my breath away with its elegance and beauty. It is such a classic style. And it sparkles! I paired it with a simple gold band for a classic look. I’ve had it now for almost 2 years and it looks as good as it did the day it arrived and I very rarely remove it. I am so happy to have an eco friendly stone that cost a reasonable amount. My husband offered to go with diamonds, but I felt the money could be used else where, especially with so many in need. We bought this ring because we loved it-not to receive compliments on it but I have received them from family and strangers alike! Thank you for making a great product!" (S. Cain)

"This ring is beyond what either of us expected. I absolutely love the shine. Melanie was so easy to work with and quick to answer any and all of my questions in a timely manner. I'm so happy to have found a company with ethical standards. We couldn't be happier with this purchase and can't wait to order our wedding rings from Rare Earth as well. I'm incredibly picky and frugal when it comes to spending money and who it profits. In this case, it took some searching, but it was great to find a company that answered all of the fairly in depth questions I had. Such a time saver backed with real craftsmanship :) Thanks for everything, Melanie!" (E. Savage)

"Like every other review here, I am absolutely 100% ecstatic about my ring and the whole process leading up to receiving it. The ring is ineffably gorgeous, well crafted and unique. It shipped in an inconspicuous package earlier than expected. Thank-you Melanie for sharing your talent with us. I couldn't be more grateful!" (P. Costa)
