The gemstones and metal
Center Stone: 0.40ct round brilliant-cut white diamond (4.7mm). G colour. SI2 clarity. Certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
Pavé Shoulders: 14 round brilliant-cut white diamonds (0.18 carats: 1.5mm) micro-set in a delicate scallop-style setting
Band: Durable ‘950’ platinum chosen for its strength, durability, and timeless elegance
The Central Diamond: A Celestial Focal Point
At the heart of the Andromeda Diamond Crowned Arc Ring is a dazzling round brilliant-cut diamond, held in an elegant tulip-style 4-claw setting. This design elevates the diamond, allowing it to capture and reflect light from every angle, mirroring the brilliance of the stars that inspired it. The central diamond symbolises Alpheratz, the brightest star in the Andromeda constellation, a beacon of light that signifies strength, guidance, and celestial beauty.
Drawing inspiration from Andromeda’s myth, the tulip-style setting cradles the diamond as though protecting and nurturing it, echoing the princess’s transformation from mortal trials to eternal grace. Elevated above the band, the diamond reflects her rise to the heavens, where she was immortalised as a constellation. This design not only honours the brilliance of Andromeda’s story but also serves as a reminder of resilience, transformation, and enduring elegance.
Pavé Diamonds: A Pathway of Light
Fourteen pavé-set round brilliant-cut diamonds adorn the shoulders of the ring, their delicate scallop-style setting enhancing their radiance. These diamonds create a cascade of light that extends halfway around the band, evoking the Andromeda constellation’s linear alignment. The varying sizes of the diamonds symbolise the diverse star masses within the galaxy, creating a harmonious balance that mirrors the grandeur of the cosmos.
The Platinum Band: Strength and Timelessness
The band, crafted from 950 platinum, provides a timeless foundation for the ring. Its cool, reflective quality enhances the brilliance of the diamonds while symbolising the infinite expanse of space. Known for its durability and strength, platinum ensures this ring remains as enduring as the Andromeda constellation, which has graced the northern sky for millennia.
