Description

Large diamonds of white colour without disturbing inclusions are a special joy, because the incident light refracts in them particularly beautiful in all colours of the rainbow. In this ring from our workshop, you can observe this wonderfully on the centrally set diamond. The antique diamond used here has a weight of 1.00 carat and was cut in the so-called "Old European Cut" in the years around 1900. It shows the white colour grade "H", which is also called "Wesselton", and it has been classified as "vsi2", so it has only tiny inclusions, which are not easily visible even with a magnifying glass. The diamond is held in a claw setting and is accompanied by six smaller brilliant cut diamonds, which decorate the shoulders of the ring. We have been able to create the ring completely sustainably from reclaimed materials. All of the diamonds are older stones that came to us unmounted. The platinum we used for the ring is recycled material that we obtained from defective antique jewellery. The result is a new high quality ring made of historical beautiful materials, which can be worn every day thanks to its insensitive materials.

The term "Wesselton" was introduced in reference to a diamond mine named Wesselton, in which a particularly large number of diamonds in fine white were found. The mine itself was named after J. J. Wessels Senior, the owner of the Benaaudheidfonein farm, where the Wesselton mine originated in 1890 as a result of diamond discoveries. The mine, which was active until 2005, was located in South Africa, near the border between the Cape Colony and the Orange River Colony. In 1891, the mine was taken over by the De Beers diamond group. The diamonds from the Wesselton Mine are characterized by their exceptionally good quality and their freedom from inclusions to the greatest extent possible. Similar to the case of Top Wesselton, the other names such as River are derived from the places of origin of the diamonds so named. River-quality gemstones have been found primarily in alluvial deposits - that is, in rivers (source: Renesim).
