1cttw Rectangular Multi Colored Diamond Cluster Ring in 10k White Gold

The face of this ring is a rectangular plaque divided into four square blocks, and each block holds six round diamonds of a single colour — blue at the top left, orange at the top right, yellow below the blue, green below the orange. Twenty-four coloured stones in all. Between them, a band of white diamonds runs the full height and the full width of the face, so the four colours never touch each other; each one is boxed in white. The 10k white gold shank tapers back from a squared shoulder, and at 6.69 grams there is enough metal under the plaque to carry it. One carat total weight across the whole face.

Blocks of one colour read as colour; a scatter of mixed stones reads as confetti. That is the whole idea here — keeping each colour in its own square, walled off by white, is what lets you identify all four from across a room instead of having to hold your hand up to a light. It also means every stone was seated one at a time in a strict grid, where a single crooked seat would be obvious, rather than clustered loosely where it would not. The result is a ring that works as a graphic shape first and a stone count second. When did you last see one that did both?
