Couture, "Lyra-Galaxy," Asymmetrical, Anticlastic Cocktail Ring, made in Platinum with Natural, White, Flush-Set Diamonds

Ashley Childs designed this diamond, platinum and 18K gold collection based on the affect of fine, subtle sculptural movement while using the tiniest of graduatated diamonds, as a way to enhance the movement with each twist and curvature of the metal form. The graduated and sometimes, anticlastic turns of her pieces in this collection are incredibly calculated to the finest millimeter.  Her attention to the graduated channel-set, diamond-detail is impeccable (and had to be - as to enhance the idea that the diamonds might be slowly growing out of the crevices and edges of each form).  Her choice in using platinum for most of the heavier pieces is quite purposeful.  Platinum holds a delicate, soft-white, greyish luster, almost like the color of fog.  Platinum also holds the softest, metallurgical properties, scoring a 4-4.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.  It is much different from that of gold, silver or steel. 

From start to finish, every aspect of the designs became a bold, emotional investment for Ashley Childs.  Her pieces are an ode the fine art of movement's discerning subtlety. 

DETAILS:
Tall, asymmetrical and slightly anticlasitc cocktail ring is made in solid-cast platinum.  Natural white diamonds are flush-set on top and weigh approximately, 0.64cts.  This particular ring is available in ring size 7 and has been the only one made.  Each flush-set diamond has been set very intentionally, creating a magical, sporadic splash pattern.
