1.25 Carat OEC Diamond Target Ring

A newly hand-made engagement ring, whose gem in an antique, 1.25 carat Old European cut diamond (I/J, VS1). This brilliant old rainbow-maker is held in a smooth bezel, where (thanks to four small spacers) it appears to hover inside a second, larger bezel. Our target style ring face takes its inspiration from the delicate floating bezels of the Edwardian and Belle Epoque eras. Here we exaggerate scale with a single large diamond, and opt for a very matte finish— both choices lend this old idea a forward-thinking, modernist quality! This ring features an openwork gallery, whose series of small, pierced circles echo the design of the ring face. The ring's half-round shank is slender and it tapers toward the base. This has a big, striking presence in wear, and is very low-profile. This ring was designed by Poor Mouchette and handcrafted in Portland, OR, by collaborating, independent craftspeople— even the antique diamond was sourced locally.
