FREE: Set of 5 Rings from Middle East

The listing, Set of 5 Rings from Middle East has ended.

This is a batch of 5 rings that I got while I was in Iraq. These were rings that I purchased from the Iraqi workers that worked on our camp. These are in varying sizes and from my understanding some are made of silver from Iran and have different stones in each. Some of them have what the Iraqis called Saudi Sand Diamonds.

What are Desert Diamonds?

Desert Diamonds are also known as Saudi Diamonds, or sometimes Qaysumah Diamonds. They are natural, semi-precious stones from the same micro-crystalline family as AMETHYSTS, SMOKY TOPAZ and CITRINE. These unique, high-grade stones have physical properties that produce the appearance of the expensive carbon-based diamonds!
DESERT DIAMONDS are FOREVER, just like the carbon diamonds. They are guaranteed not to discolor or break with age. This is the huge advantage of owning DESERT DIAMONDS vs. cubic zirconia. Compared with the carbon-based stones, which have a hardness factor of 10 on the Mohs scale, the DESERT DIAMONDS are rated at 7.0!

WHERE DO DESERT DIAMONDS COME FROM?
As the name implies, these elegant stones are found in the deserts of the ARABIAN PENINSULA, primarily the central plains of Saudi Arabia. From the "diamond fields" near Riyadh, they are washed eastward into Kuwait and the U.A.E. The stones are collected and polished to remove the rough exterior. A talented stonecutter then cuts around the natural fault lines using a double-sided facet technique to enhance the natural refractory properties of these amazing stones.
