About Rockefeller Rock Crystal Diamond Fine Jewelry Ring
Rockefeller Rock Crystal Diamond is a fine jewelry ring made in 14K yellow gold. The ring features a custom trillion cut natural rock crystal measuring 9 millimeters. A triangular metal piece set with small pave natural diamonds is affixed to the top of the rock crystal, resembling a shield. Precise measurement is needed so the metal piece fits the gemstone surface, where small holes are drilled to join the two parts. The design is inspired by the bold character of New York City. The ring can be worn or kept as a collectible.
