A MAGNIFICENT 1.06 CARAT NATURAL FANCY RED DIAMOND AND DIAMOND RING


Centring on a cut -cornered rectangular modified brilliant-cut red diamond weighing 1.06 carats, flanked by half-moon shaped diamonds totalling approximately 1.40 carats, embellished with brilliant-cut diamonds, mounted in 18 karat white gold. Ring size: 6 1/4

GIA numbered 1152756231, 6 March 2017, stating the diamond is 1.06 carats, natural, Fancy Red colour, I2 clarity.

The colour red evokes a wide spectrum of emotion. Blood is the very stuff of life. A red flame beckons those hungers to stop and enjoy a bit of warmth. Scarlet wildflowers imbue summer fields with joy. Seduction is done best when dressed in the colour of wine. A resplendent red sunset leaves the observer humbled by the beauty of nature.
A single red diamond likewise tells many different stories. The origin of red colour in a diamond is still not fully understood. The 1.06 carat Fancy Red diamond carries artifacts of its creation deep within the earth. Millions of years ago, volcanic activity thrust the diamond-bearing rock violently upward. There the precious stones waited for someone to see them, glowing in the soil like undying embers.
A red diamond documents the journey of a precious material’s transformation from natural wonder to work of human genius. Only the greatest diamond cutters in the world know how to unlock the rich hues and vibrant sparkle from a diamond. The smallest error can render a stone into one that is but a shadow of what it could have been. This 1.06 carat Fancy Red diamond is one of just a few red diamonds know to the world. Its rarity and beauty is cause for celebration and documentation in the GIA Monograph.
