{"product_id":"sonia-princess-diamond-channel-ring","title":"Sonia – 18K White Gold Ring with a Channel of Princess Diamonds","description":"\u003cp\u003eSonia's ring is one piece, built to look like three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA channel of twelve princess-cut diamonds runs down the centre, with thirty-two round diamonds pavé set along both sides. Forty-four natural stones in all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it was made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two outer rails were cast separately, in an alloy I mixed myself from fine gold and palladium. Palladium is what gives white gold its flexibility, and there is a right proportion for it. That is the professional way to do this and it is not the cheap way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen I drilled parallel holes through both rails and threaded gold tubes between them. The tubes hold the rails at a fixed distance from each other, set to the exact width of a princess diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole engineering problem of this ring. A channel of square stones only works if the gap is identical along its entire length. A fraction too wide and a stone rocks in its seat. A fraction too narrow and it will not go in. The tubes make that distance mechanical rather than a matter of eye and hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything after that is setting: the princess stones into the channel, and the pavé along both rails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in my Jerusalem studio in 18K white gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18K white gold, alloyed in the studio with palladium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 princess-cut natural diamonds in a channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 round brilliant natural diamonds, pavé set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTube-spaced channel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with a valuation certificate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis ring is made to order.
