A Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Ring in IF-D Diamonds
An 18k white gold anniversary ring of hand-matched IF-D baguette and princess-cut diamonds.

For a twenty-fifth anniversary, every diamond was hand-selected at IF clarity and D colour, then matched for weight and dimension. Material of that quality calls for a search conducted with price as no object.
With the stones in hand, Carol drew the design and began carving the wax, then started again on a redesign until every detail was resolved.
After casting, clean-up and a first polish came about five days of stone setting and another day of final polishing, all in 18k white gold.
