A Diamond in a Fine Setting

A ring, unlike an earring or pendant, can be made quite massive. Therefore, the largest jewelry stones were most often set into such items. A ring with a diamond is the most popular type of jewelry for many centuries.

Both in ancient times and today, a masterfully cut diamond cost a fortune, served as an adornment only for the highest-ranking persons, and was passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom. The settings for such stones were ordered from the most skilled craftsmen, and they were made, of course, only from the finest gold. Many diamond rings from those times are now kept in national museums, representing not only material but also historical and artistic value of global significance. Often, rings made by modern craftsmen are also true works of art and adorn the fingers of the powerful.

However, truly expensive specimens are few and far between in the world, while diamond rings of more modest sizes can be found in any jewelry store. And although diamonds remain the most precious stones and are set exclusively in precious metal mounts, jewelry in this category, though expensive, is quite accessible.

The most beautiful of these items are typically intended for engagement—a worthy gift for a bride. Today, jewelry made from various types of gold, different colors, and even different metals is very fashionable. Diamonds look very good in such combined jewelry, easily matching with other stones. Particularly popular recently are diamond rings made of platinum or white gold.

Almost three thousand unique works of jewelry art are presented in the online store www.olin.ru in the section 'Rings with Diamonds.' Jewelry for women and men of different sizes and styles are offered for the most discerning customers to choose from.
