Men's .12ct Diamond Ring with Brushed Diagonal Stripes in 14k Yellow Gold

A men’s ring with a rectangular flat top, corners clipped, in polished yellow gold. A single round diamond, .12 carat, sits in four prongs at the upper left of the face, and two brushed diagonal bands cross the lower right, each edged with a fine bright-cut groove that catches light as a thin white line. The shoulders are finely grooved down both sides. 9.50 grams of 14k yellow gold.

Three finishes on one face is the whole idea. The polished top throws light back as a mirror, the brushed bands hold it as satin, and the bright-cut grooves between them flash as lines, so the ring reads differently every time the hand turns — which is what keeps a plain rectangular ring from being plain. The diamond is placed like a full stop in the corner: one point of white on a field of gold, not the subject of the sentence. Heavy enough to feel on the hand, flat enough to work in. Shouldn’t your ring command respect too?
