At its heart lies a captivating oval aquamarine, its crystalline blue evoking the sparkle of water under the California sun. Surrounding it, twelve brilliant-cut diamonds shimmer like sunlight on the surface, each held in its own unique spiked petal of 14-karat white gold. The balance between the bold aquamarine and the delicate glitter of diamonds creates an effect that's both dazzling and perfectly poised.

The aquamarine measures 13x10x6.7 mm and weighs approximately 5.47 carats. The diamonds, rated H/I in color and VS2 in clarity, have a total weight of 0.3 carats. This cocktail ring measures 20 mm north to south, 17 mm across, and sits 7.4 mm off the finger. It narrows to 1.3 mm at the back of the band. Although the marks on this ring have softened with time, we've carefully tested the metals, confirming 18-karat gold. The ring is a size 8 and weighs 5.73 grams.

There’s something unmistakably timeless about a ring like this—a piece that exudes the decadence of the Gilded Age while remaining utterly wearable today. Perhaps it was once worn to an opulent soiree or a glamorous night out; now, it waits to be the centerpiece of a new story, ready to catch every eye in the room. less
