Wheat inspired 9 carat rose gold and 0.37ct diamond engagement ring

As Jo worked on a farm, her engagement ring needed to be robust enough for her day to day life yet still effuse beauty and sparkle. Although Jo didn't want the connection to farming to be too obvious, she liked the idea of a design inspired by an ear of wheat. To achieve the feathery appearance of the grain bearing tip, five 4x2mm marquise cut diamonds (0.37ct) have been set together in a staggered formation. Each stone has been set in its own all around setting to lift the stones away from the band which adds a sense of movement as if the wheat is swaying.The Tunstall finished 9 carat rose gold band reflects the colour of the ripening wheat and the intricate texture of each individual grain. The 5mm band ensures that Jo has enough room on her finger for a wedding band and eternity ring in the future.
