Purplish Pink Diamond Ring |
||
Le Petit Rose |
||
|
Colored diamonds are rare and beautiful things. In 1817 the French gemologist, R.J. Hauy, wrote "Gems are the flowers of the mineral kingdom .... fancy color diamonds are the orchids." Like orchids, fancy color diamonds are captivating and exotic. This custom created ring features a diamond that is a rich blend of purple and pink. The lively brightness of pink married with the regal richness of purple gives the center diamond a captivating hue reminiscent of early raspberries. The ring is hand crafted in platinum with 18kt rose gold accents.  |

 We named this ring "Le Petit Rose" - The Little Pink - in honor of the center diamond. The design was inspired by the layered petals of a blossoming rose with each layer set with a different style of diamond. The emerald-cut purplish-pink sits in the center surrounded by the 12 round brilliant cuts. Further out the kite-shape diamonds seem to cascade down the shoulders of the ring. We wanted the platinum body of the ring to have a lightness and airiness to match the sparkle of the diamonds. So, we parted the gallery beneath the settings and inlaid vine-like accents crafted in rose gold. The twisting, insinuating "vines" recall roses climbing up a garden trellis.  A beautiful ring should be as well crafted as it is designed. This ring was hand created by a master jeweler in platinum and 18kt gold. From the side you can see the care with which it was created. Note the sculptural-like quality of the diamond-set shoulders as they flow down into the band. The sturdiness of the shoulders is repeated in the band as it curves around the back of the ring. Similary, the settings for each of the diamonds is sturdily and meticulously crafted. Although we designed this ring to have a light, airy look we did not skimp on the precious metal. We created the ring so that it would be an heirloom that could be passed on to future generations. |
 As with all our jewels, the inside of this ring is signed with Bijoux Extraordinaire's registered hallmark ("BEL") as well as "PLAT" for the purity of the precious metal. The opposite side of the inner band is marked "18K" for the purity of the gold. These marks are your assurance of uncompromising craftsmanship, beautiful gemstones and imaginative design.  |
