Inspired by ancient rings that graced the hands of Roman Empresses, this is a piece to be treasured for decades and passed down through the centuries. A detailed braided solid gold band encircles your finger, displaying a substantial lab diamond in a handcrafted bezel setting. This setting is the same used by ancient goldsmiths from the earliest known periods of history.
In the ancient world, diamonds were treasures of the earth, hidden deep within its crust and only revealed through the most extraordinary forces of nature. Before modern discoveries, diamonds were found in riverbeds of India, where they were revered as celestial fragments—divine in origin, indestructible in form. The Sanskrit texts called them vajra, meaning "thunderbolt," believing they carried the power of the gods.
So rare and coveted were these luminous stones that ancient rulers guarded their sources with secrecy and law. In some traditions, diamonds were thought to glow with an inner fire, their brilliance unmatched by any earthly gem. The Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder wrote of the diamond’s supremacy, calling it “the most valuable, not only of precious stones, but of all things in this world.”
The Ancient Heirloom Ring is crafted in 100% recycled 14k or 18k solid gold. Each piece is made to order for you in our NYC studio and takes roughly 3 weeks to ship.
Why Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is for those who buy once and buy well. It will not tarnish, fade, or degrade; worn daily for decades, it only grows more beautiful. It is the right choice if you want a piece that lasts a lifetime or becomes an heirloom.
Gold has appreciated steadily for centuries and retains intrinsic value: it can always be melted down and reborn as something new. It is adornment that is also an investment.
Our solid gold pieces are cast using the ancient lost wax method and are never hollow. Every gram is 100% certified recycled, and every piece is made by hand in New York City.
