Roseanne’s ring

ariathans — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 04:08:27 +0000

This ring is Roseanne’s gift to self. A 2 carat diamond ring – that’s about an 8.2 mm diameter stone. Set in 9k white gold in signature playdough style, it has 26 black diamonds (2+6=8 for luck) randomly scattered around the base. From the top, the brilliance of the diamond is the only distraction. Just imagine – this diamond is approximately 3-4.5 billion years old and has travelled from the earth’s mantle to the surface via a volcanic eruption to form kimberlite pipes. That blows my mind! Thank you Roseanne for giving me the opportunity to transform your beautiful stone into a jewel to be enjoyed for ever more!
