The Vastness Ring
Description
One of a kind 18ct White Gold engagement ring featuring a 2.04ct natural, unheated pear-cut Black Diamond clutched in eight delicate talon claws.
Unlike most Black Diamonds, which are heat treated for colour consistency, this stone is entirely natural—appearing solid black in some lighting, yet revealing an explosion of white inclusions in other light conditions, suddenly sparkling like a star-filled night sky.
A romantic, cloud-like sculptural form surrounds the stone, evoking a clouded evening horizon where the vastness of the universe evokes a sense of quiet awe.

Artist's Notes
“For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.”
Crafted for e.g.etal's 2026 group show, Vena Amoris, this ring was my response to the quote above by astrologist Carl Sagan in his 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot.
