Contemporary Diamond Solitaire




This was a wonderful experiment in which I learned a ton! It is all hollow construction from 18 gage sterling silver sheet metal in the form of a rather oversized emerald cut "diamond" in a modern style comfort fit ring that fits like a glove between the fingers and sits well on either the middle or ring finger. As a vent for the soldering process, I pierced out with a jewelers saw the word "adamas" in stylized Greek script, hidden on the inside of the band. Adamas being the root word of diamond, it translates to "invincible" and one definitely does feel so when wearing this piece - its not for the faint of heart.

Sadly, I had been wearing it a lot before I took pictures and didn't realize it was so scuffed - it has since been pristinely polished, more pics to come...
