The Revere Ring
I Once Sat
With a Silversmith
His house and studio were on a mountain top. His driveway was a mile long. It sashayed and spiraled up the mountain. His steel anvil was set on top of a steel table. He had a collection of hammers by his side. My 4-year-old son was with us. He sat on the silversmith’s lap and tried his hand at hammering. I listened to the sounds; steel on silver has a beautiful thunk. You can hear the silver give way as the metal moves, the hammer swings, the anvil rings. I watched as a heavy wire became thinner vertically and then thinner horizontally as it became a cuff bracelet, almost round. I loved the purity of the sterling and the certainty of the hammer.
This was 35 years ago. I don’t remember if this was eastern New York or western Massachusetts. What I clearly remember is the anvil and the joy of his creation as the silversmith worked. He was a silversmith, but he also worked beautifully in gold.
I would have loved to have spent a day in Paul Revere’s silversmith shop in 1776.
Revere
SparHawk Maine Tourmaline & Diamond
Ring
What I love about this ring is its simplicity, its purity, its elegance, its sweep of beauty across the hand. This ring is yellow gold, with the gems set in white gold, and made with a genuine Maine tourmaline mined in the western mountains of Maine. We choose only Royal Ideal-Cut diamonds, cut for World standard best brilliance, high white color, sub-microscopic clarity, and perfectly matched for size. We make and set our Revere rings in our own shop here in Portland, Maine.
What I love about this design is it sits low, in fact, it’s the lowest profile three gem ring ever made, which means it sits comfortably, naturally on the hand. Low profile means it’s glove-friendly, too.
Gem Find of a Lifetime Video
World Famous Discoveries
Treasure Trove of Gems
I’ve always dreamed of a gem find like this. To have this mine be so close to home, just 28 miles north of our store in the mountains of western Maine, is amazing. Gems so fine, so pure, with colors so vivid. It’s important someone documents this historic gem find here in Maine, because it’s a history-making discovery in the world of gems.
The video above is 1:43. It gives you a good idea of the excitement we feel for the gems we are discovering here in Maine.
Maine has been world-famous for the tourmaline gems mined here for over 200 years. The geology in our western mountains has yielded a treasure trove of world class gems. Cross Jewelers has been the Maine state leader, bringing fine Maine tourmaline jewelry to all of America for over 100 years.
We have over 200 pieces of Maine tourmaline jewelry from both the SparHawk mine and other Maine mines.
Two options for deeper Maine gem mine understanding:
A.) The 32-page written story of the 2013 gem mining season at the SparHawk mine.
b.) A collection of gem mining videos at the SparHawk mine.

90-Day Returns/Exchanges
Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
