Description: From a Tucson Country Club estate is this desirably chic Steven Battelle 18K solid yellow gold ring set with four (4) of his signature "raw" earth mined diamonds. Battelle's diamond and gem set ornaments are instantly recognizable as artisanal efforts - the deliberately rustic rose cut or cabochon stones handpicked for their antique appearance, the high karat ingot metal components showing obvious evidence of being bench wrought. Viewed singly or assembled together they epitomize the yin and yang of his sophisticated aesthetic. In this case the tines of the shank are chased and hammer textured in three different ways. Handmade bezels present the four natural diamonds almost as a collection of crystalline mineral specimens - their unique coloration and inherent internal characteristics meant as a focal point of intellectual interest and power. This ring can serve as a symbol of love eternal, a special occasion statement, or something worn about just because. That said and to be clear, it is one of a kind - while you might see another Steven Battelle wearable artwork when looking about the room, you will not see anything exactly like this one. Have a look on line to see the truth of that. A clear "BATTELLE 18K" serves as verification of his particular artistry and the fineness. Weight is good for the form at about 3.7 grams on my portable digital scale - aside from the diamonds, all gold. Condition is quite fine with a subtle aura of time to the well preserved gold surfaces - I think this ring was saved for special occasions. The diamonds are as Battelle selected, showing color variations and internal / external physical imperfections normal for real diamond crystals. All usual and expected and in this case minor signs of brief previous service simply validate a gentle history. A look at the pics should give a good idea of appearance and condition. Ring size is about 6 1/2 on my jeweler's mandrel (the lower edge of the shank reaches that line on the mandrel). Diamonds are about 7mm, 5.5mm, 4.5mm, and 4mm. About 7/16 in. (11mm) vertical at the front. If you are already aware of Steven Battelle and know what is offered, or simply wish a single immediate improvement to the ambiance of each day, this will have great meaning for you. inkfrog terapeak
