Golden Zenith

Diamond, 18k Gold

This 18-karat gold handmade band features a striking reticulated texture, created through an intricate and specialized process. The ring was repeatedly heated—approximately 22 to 23 times—to develop surface oxides, which were meticulously removed with acid after each cycle. During the final heating, an intense flame caused the underlying gold to partially melt, and as it cooled, it formed the beautifully organic, wrinkled texture you see here.

At its center, the band showcases a 2/3-carat round diamond, set in a tapered 18-karat white gold bezel that subtly enhances its brilliance.

Part of the Legacy Collection, this piece was my design but brought to life with the exceptional craftsmanship of DeAnne Hamilton, a talented goldsmith who worked alongside me in my store. Her skill and dedication were invaluable in realizing this creation
