Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things
Have you ever heard of a knuckle duster? By definition, it’s a metal guard worn over the knuckles in fighting to increase the effect of the punches being thrown. Perhaps you’re more familiar with the term brass knuckles. These small, concealable weapons can cause severe injuries. They’re so dangerous, in fact, that knuckle dusters are illegal in most states. The term has also been used as slang to describe a large, flashy ring. It implies that the ring is ostentatious and over-the-top. This week, we are debuting a ring that is exactly that…
This bold bit of bling is a true statement piece. Made entirely of 18-karat white gold, this ring is quite heavy – weighing just over an ounce! Even at its most narrow point, the ribbed band is 7 mm wide. Starting at the base, the shank gradually widens, reaching 22 mm at the top. This impressive mounting is glittering with gemstones on all four sides… even the prongs are sparkling! Fifty cushion cut fine sapphires have been set edge to edge with expert precision. These beauties are bubble gum pink in color with a combined weight of exactly 5.64 carats.
Surrounding those sapphires are one hundred and ninety round brilliant diamonds. The colorless gems create a border for the pink sapphires. In total, these diamonds weigh 1.98 carats. All of this show-stopping sparkle was painstakingly created to pay homage to a truly spectacular center stone.
Emerald-cut in shape, this is the finest pink tourmaline I have ever seen. It weighs a whopping 28.64 carats and it dances in the light. At first glance, the color can only be described as raspberry… it’s pink, it’s violet, it’s red. With every wave of the hand, the stone ignites inside. The large table facet on top reflects giant flashes of light in the most mesmerizing way. The effect is hypnotic; it is indeed, a knuckle duster like no other. Priced at $8,250.00, this ring offers a lot of bang for your buck – and I have no doubt that it could double as a weapon as well! Call us to make it yours today.
