Diamond Ring in Platinum and Gold |
|
 Fire and Ice |
| |
An elegant platinum and 18kt yellow gold ring
showcasing dazzling round brilliant-cut diamonds in platinum
half bezels. The clean simple lines of this ring offer
versatility as you go from the office to an evening on the town.
Our client asked us to help her create a new ring to
showcase her engagement diamond. The diamonds had
tremendous sentimental value and she wanted to set them a new
ring that she could wear and enjoy everyday. |
 |
| This 3/4 view shows the smooth and seemingly
effortless joint (seam) between the inner platinum strip and the
yellow gold band.....known in the trade as a "slip ring".
The bezel is beautifully set atop the band with a nearly
invisible seam.
Combining platinum and yellow gold is very difficult, because the metals melt at different temperatures and behave differently when worked. Thus, a jewel combining platinum and gold requires a highly skilled craftsman. |
| Consumer Tip: When
considering platinum and gold jewelry always be wary of messy
solder joints, porosity in the metals (air bubbles) and uneven
seams. |
| |
A well made jewel is as nicely finished on the underside and inside as it is on top. Here is a wonderful example of fine finishing. Our ring is smooth inside and out, and has symmetrical, even cut-outs for each of the diamonds. Always pay close attention to the thickness (gauge) of a band. This ring has a nice thick gauge that will provide many years of wear. In our appraisal work we often see ring shanks (made by less conscientious jewelers) that are very thin and will wear out in no time at all. |
| |
When purchasing a ring, you should always
check the thickness of the shank. It should be at least
1.3mm thick for a standard Tiffany-style engagement ring and at
least 1.5mm thick for a wider ring like the one shown here.
The thickness of our ring is an exceptional 2.5mm.
