Estate Originals 18K Yellow Gold Fantasy Cut Citrine and Diamond Ring

Fantasy-cut gem designs contain elements from faceted and cabbed stones as well as artistic embellishments. Not too long ago, all faceted and cabbed gemstones displayed traditional shapes specific to each discipline. Most faceted stones featured a round, brilliant-cut or some variation. 

Most cabochons featured domed geometric shapes, either ovals, squares, or circles. But along came some enterprising lapidaries who not only started combining faceting and cabbing techniques but also added peculiar conceits to gems, such as channels, tunnels, plateaus, steps, and dish effects. These innovations, known as fantasy cutting, caught on in the gem cutting world. Now, many modern lapidaries are pushing the envelope with unique cutting styles and effects.

This beautiful yellow gold custom-made modified pear-shaped ring features one 5.27 carat citrine that is grooved to appear as five stones. Each step is defined with a gold bead in the middle and a chevron trim, set with ten round, brilliant-cut diamonds, five per side, framing the 'V' portion of the stone. Resting close to the finger, this unique piece is finished on the inside with a pierced foliate design.
