Contrast: Round and Marquise Diamond Ring in 18ct Yellow Gold

My latest custom design was created with a quiet confidence in asymmetry, a balance found in something not the same but in contrast. This handmade ring, set in warm 18ct yellow gold, loops together round and marquise cut diamonds in a design that’s both sculptural and refined.

A Play of Shape and Light

The round diamond is a classic for good reason when paired with the elongated elegance of a marquise cut, the combination becomes more than decorative. The proportions of the ring are considered and clean which highlights the negative space in between the stones. This design feature is what makes the ring unique.

Set side by side, these stones create gentle tension in the design. They reflect light differently, move differently, and offer the eye more than a single focal point. It's a subtle way to play with proportion while still keeping the piece wearable.

The Warmth of Yellow Gold

The setting is handmade in 18ct yellow gold. The metal frames the diamonds with warmth and softness. The gold provides a quiet richness that offsets the clarity of the stones, giving the ring a clean modern contrast.

Handcrafted and Considered

This piece will now mark an engagement. Designed with careful attention to proportion and detail, the placement of each diamond and the curve of the band now carry new significance and intention. 

Final Thoughts

A round and marquise diamond ring in yellow gold may seem simple at first glance, but its power is in the nuance. It’s a piece that feels both classic and unexpected, a quiet statement of contrast, clarity, and care.
