The Curated Collection highlights the unique and exceptional pieces that stood out among the rest for our GIA qualified gemmologist and Managing Director, Joseph Tattersfield.
Intricate in design, this stunning three stone ring from our signature 1899 collection showcases two fancy yellow diamonds in our enduring high palladium 18ct white gold ring that complements a gorgeous 1.01ct centre diamond.
"When I first started in jewellery during the early 1990s there was not a lot of exposure to natural coloured diamonds apart from the Argyle fancy brown shades. In the last few years, I have seen tremendous interest especially in fancy yellow diamonds which have emerged a part of popular culture as referenced by Rihanna with her hit song ‘We Found Love’. Adding colour to a design lifts the piece’s appeal instantly but also provides challenges. The human eye can detect over 3 million shades of colour and in the world of natural coloured gems this provides obvious difficulties in matching stones.
This ring combines a simple clean 4 claw design with perfectly matched fancy yellow brilliant cut diamonds on either side of a 1ct white diamond. The contrast is enhanced with yellow claws applied only to the yellow side diamonds. The balance between the stones is harmonious with slight priority to the centre stone allowing additional elegance." - Joseph Tattersfield

Our 1899 18ct white gold has an exceptionally high palladium component, being at least 50% of the alloyed metal used. This high standard of quality results in improved durability and appearance over a longer period of time compared to other white metals, and ensures it is suitable for all skin types.
We have full confidence in recommending our 1899 white gold as the best material for any special piece which you want to last a lifetime, and onto the next.
