Nizam Ruby Diamond Ring

Fine natural ruby ring accented with diamonds in 18k.

The 6.06ct unheated Mozambique ruby is dark red.

Following the tradition of Nizam rings, the gold work is what makes the red stone resplendent, jewels set in compressed form.

A lack of gaps, even if multi-pronged, or tiered, is a labor of love imperceptible to modern eyes.

Made possible by a feel for contouring, the double halo is engineered so the wearer never feels the pedestal.

Such a form is extremely harmonious, the prospect of wearing ornate a tease.

The arrangement is more fractal than ornamental, the outermost pointed halo is an Eastern thing.

Rosy gold around the stones, yellow on the band, aligned where you cannot tell where one begins and where one ends.

We continue to sculpt small objects of everyday jewelry – Old World rings would exist only in books if not for such efforts.

The face of the ring spans 22mm by 20mm.

Diamonds weigh 2.08ctw.
