Robert Michael acquired several Chrome Diopside gemstones that were mined and faceted in Inagli, an area in Eastern Siberia.   The presence of Chromium atoms in these gemstones cause the emerald-like green color, and as such, these gemstones are a very affordable alternative to actual Emeralds.  Robert selected five matching 4mm round gems weighing .25 cts each. 1.25 total carat weight.  He then set the gems in a size 7 Sterling Silver ring.
