18K white gold ring with pink sapphires and black diamonds

We present our spectacular 18 Ktes white gold ring with pink sapphires and black diamonds, a modern and striking piece that combines luxury and sophistication with originality and design. Eye-catching and innovative, this ring stands out for the contrasting colors of the metals and gemstones and for its rounded design with curved lines. With an oblong and domed shape, this ring is a modern evolution of the classic signet ring and plays with the empty spaces creating a beautiful openwork on the inside. Made in 18 carat white gold, the piece is testimony to the craftsmanship of the Vasari firm, which for thirty years revolutionized Catalan jewelry with its groundbreaking designs and the remarkable and original use of gems. Set on yellow gold, the pink sapphires stand out surrounded by the black ones that contain them and also extend to the middle of the ring, creating a surprising play of colors and sparkles in which each of the elements and colors makes the one that accompanies it stand out even more.

Diamond, from the Greek ἀδάμας (adamas ), “own”, “unalterable”, “unbreakable, untamable” is an allotrope of carbon formed in the Earth’s mantle under conditions of extreme pressure and temperature. Diamonds were formed billions of years ago in growth processes that took another billion years and correspond to between 25% and 75% of the age of the earth. They have been moved close to the surface by magma through deep explosions. Diamond has superlative physical characteristics, the most notable of which are its hardness and thermal conductivity, the highest of all known materials. Because of these characteristics, diamond is not only used in jewelry but also in industry where it is used especially in cutting and polishing tools.

The black diamond has become popular relatively recently but has become one of the protagonists of contemporary jewelry for its versatility, ability to combine and of course, for its hardness. Also known as carbonated, black diamond is a polycrystalline agglomerate of diamond crystals, graphite and amorphous carbon and is the strongest variety of natural diamond. The color of black diamonds does not derive from impurities like other color variants but from tiny black or dark inclusions that give color to the mass in which they are found. Currently, natural black diamonds are mined in Zimbabwe and Siberia and are found in alluvial deposits in Brazil and the Central African Republic, however, the vast majority of black diamonds on the market are non-black specimens that do not meet the color and/or purity conditions necessary to be used in jewelry and are treated with heat and pressure so that the fractures are graphitized generating a black optical effect or are irradiated to induce a very dark and intense green color that appears black to the eye. Pink sapphires are corundums with impurities of chromium and sometimes vanadium in the case of those that have a violet hue but do not have a dominant red tone and therefore are not called rubies.

The ring measures 14/54, has 4.28 cts in black diamonds, 5.32 cts in pink sapphires and weighs 21 grams.
