Talisman Essence ring in yellow gold

In this ring, an octahedral rough brown diamond juxtaposes with a round brilliant diamond, a pairing that is iconic to De Beers. Entwining in an open band, the dual shapes, totalling ~0.15 carats, are set apart, and yet next to one another. The two diamonds are encapsulated in 18K yellow gold serti poinçon, a unique hand-hammering surfacing and setting technique that sets rough diamonds closer to the surface than traditional methods allow. Lending this diamond ring an almost geometric tactility, the result calls to mind the textures of natural landscapes, the origins of our rare diamonds.
