Ring roundup: pink diamonds.

March 10, 2013

You heard me. Pink diamonds roundup, I say.

Hello, beautiful ring. No subtlety here: a big honking pink diamond with more diamonds on either side. To get more specific, you’re looking at a 7.09 carat Fancy pink diamond – a type IIa fancy pink diamond, to be precise. This is an incredibly rare stone of exceptional quality. And it’s flanked on either side by two shield or bullet-cut diamonds, totaling 1.04 carats and both graded E color and VS1 clarity. To summarize, this is one hell of a ring.

You may have seen this stunner around the Internet. If so, today is your lucky day because you get to see it again! By Tiffany & Co, this ring is set with a pear-shaped 2.11ct fancy intense pink diamond, surrounded by a single row of white diamonds set in platinum. A bombshell of a ring.

This ring is very straightforward and extremely pretty. Sort of the girl-next-door of exceptionally high-quality pink diamond rings, if one can say such a thing. I am in deep, passionate love with it. It is centered by a cut-cornered rectangular modified brilliant-cut fancy light pink diamond weighing 3.03 carats, which is flanked by two modified triangular-cut diamonds weighing approximately 1.00 carat.

You don’t need me to tell you that this baby is fabulous. It would probably have its own post, if only the Sotheby’s zoom picture were not shamefully blurry. It’s really extraordinary. It centers an oval modified brilliant-cut fancy light pink diamond weighing 3.56 carats, flanked on each side by a tapered baguette fancy blue diamond weighing 0.30 and 0.31 carat respectively. That’s a whole lot of rare diamond right there, decorated by a brilliant-cut diamond-set border extending to the shoulders, mounted in platinum and 18 karat pink gold.

This ring is just lovely. I love a square ring, don’t you? The center stone is a cut-cornered rectangular modified brilliant-cut diamond of fancy brownish purplish pink color weighing 1.70 carats. The colored diamond is surrounded by round diamonds weighing approximately 1.45 carats.

Amazing 6.9 carat blue diamond surround by white and pink diamonds.

This spectacular ring is a bit of a deviation from the rest of the rings in this post, for obvious reasons. The center stone here is an extremely rare modified pear double rose-cut fancy vivid blue diamond weighting 5 carats. The incredible center stone is surrounded by 6.69 carats of briolette diamonds and brilliant cut pink diamonds. It’s the only one here to feature multiple pink diamonds. Fabulous.

Tiffany and Co kunzite and diamond ring.

December 4, 2012

I know it’s Tuesday reviewsday but I could not wait one more minute to show you this Tiffany and Co kunzite and diamond ring.

This spectacular specimen of gorgeousness is a 25.29-carat kunzite and diamond ring by the estimable Tiffany and Co. It is bold, bright, and beautiful. The setting and the kunzite would both be remarkable on their own, but together they’re really a remarkable piece. This is some high-caliber bling.

The purplish-pink gemstone kunzite was apparently first introduced to the world by Tiffany and Co after it was discovered (and named after) Tiffany gemologist Dr. George Kunz in 1902.

Sapphire, tsavorite garnet and diamond ring by Schlumberger.

November 11, 2012

Jean Schlumberger is another of those names that should say to the practiced jewelry stalker, “hey, this piece is going to be worth looking at.” Allow this ring by Schlumberger to show you what I mean.

This is one of Schlumberger’s less complex pieces, but I think it’s wonderful. The colors of the gems speak for themselves, more embellishment is unnecessary. I also think that gold was the perfect metal to warm up this vibrant but cold color combination.

What do you think of it? Can you see the floral inspiration? Are you with me on the gold mixed-metal setting, or would you have preferred all platinum?

The ring is designed as a flower set with an emerald-cut sapphire weighing 13.83 carats, supported by platinum stylized petals set with round diamonds. As I mentioned, it is by Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co.. The design is completed by a gold shank set with round tsavorite garnets. The ring is signed T&Co., Schlumberger Studios.

This ring by Schlumberger for Tiffany & Co. was sold in Sotheby’s December 2011 Magnificent Jewels auction. All images and info are thanks to Sotheby’s.
