Eric says: “Here is a very unusual ring! I have a collection of rough diamonds, diamonds as Nature formed them tens of millions or even over a billion years ago, hundreds of kilometres beneath the surface of the Earth under unimaginable temperatures and pressures.
The diamond crystals I have were procured decades ago when I taught a diamond course in the UK. I love the shape (‘habit’) of rough diamonds. I chose this one to mount as a unique diamond ring - there is no other one like it.
The diamond has 12 sides (‘faces’) so its habit is called dodecahedral, each face is lozenge shaped. The lozenge shape is frequently used to represent diamond - think of the diamond shape on the diamond suite of playing cards. I have had the diamond crystal mounted so the largest face is uppermost and the lozenge is obvious to see.”
A 0.63 carat diamond crystal of dodecahedral habit (12-sided crystal) set with the largest lozenge (diamond!) shaped face uppermost, mounted by a rub-over setting to a 18ct yellow gold ring. UK Hallmark. Ring size - M (6.25). Weight of ring - 3.1 grams

Feel free to WhatsApp me to discuss this dodecahedron diamond ring. I can video chat with you to show you the gem and/or book an appointment to see it in Hatton Garden at my place of work.
Please note my collection of rough diamond crystals were purchased decades ago. As such they are considered as ‘grandfathered’ stock and none need a Kimberley Certificate to be exported to an overseas buyer
