Antique style diamond engagement ring set with a European cut diamond
Here is a spectacular modern diamond engagement ring that is not only set with genuine antique diamonds, hand made using techniques and styles of yesteryear, but is also made in not only platinum, but our very own 18 carat yellowrose gold.
Gold can be made into a combination of carats and colour by adding other alloys into the gold when molten. For example, adding more or less copper will make the gold a rose or pink colour, silver among other white alloys can produce white gold, and then there is 75% gold in the allow it is 18 carat gold and when 37.5% gold, it is 9 carat gold. Knowing all of this, our Master Jeweller who painstakingly hand made this ring created our own 18 carat Kalmar yellowrose gold that has the most magnificent and incredible soft yellow to rose colour that looks amazing on the skin and has such an incredible warm tone to it.
Sitting proud in the centre is a fabulous old European cut diamond that measures an impressive 1.78 carats. European cut diamonds have increased so much in popularity in recent years, so much so that they are being cut today in the modern diamond workshops of Antwerp and India, however nothing beats a genuine antique cut diamond such as this one here. It is K in colour and VS in clarity and before you think that the diamond is tinted, you really have to see this ring as it will certainly change your opinion as set into the yellowrose and platinum, this diamond faces up so lovely and much whiter that you would think.
Set on each side are three single cut diamonds that come together to total 0.18 carats and these earlier cut diamonds were used in this ring in keeping with the antique design.
With the most wonderful scroll work on the sides, this is a truly exceptional and very unique diamond management ring like no other.
This ring is just one example of what we can create using diamonds as well as techniques from a bygone era, so please feel free to speak to us to see what we could also create for you.

16 carat gold and platinum Lightning Ridge black opal and diamond ring
Here is an amazing 16 carat gold and platinum Lightning Ridge black opal and diamond ring that was hand made by our master jeweller and is a ring like no other.
To begin with the unique 16 carat gold. The story of how we came about 16 carat gold is published here and well worth a read: https://www.kalmarantiques.com.au/articles/our-own-16-carat-rose-gold/
Sitting so proudly in the centre is a truly magnificent solid Australian Lightning Ridge black opal. Not only does Australia produce the most opals in the world, Australian opals are also regarded as the best in the world, with the Lightning Ridge black opal the best of the best. This opal was actually in an antique brooch that dated from the early 1900's but was badly damaged and couldn't be repaired. Measuring 2.79 carats, the spectral colours in this ring is just spectacular. The amount of red, which is the most desired, is just amazing and it is so easy to fall in love with just this opal alone.
However not only was this ring made by our master jeweller to such an incredibly high standard, but in keeping in our tradition of dealing in antiques, surrounding the opal are twenty four antique single cut diamonds that total 0.43 carats and highlight the opal magnificently. The proportions of this ring are just perfect measuring 16.1mm across by 19.2mm and day or night, this is one ring that is sure to always be admired and appreciated for so many reasons.
This is a ring that our master jeweller has created, and we are more than happy to it down and design and make that perfect ring for you.
Modern technology and antique come together harmoniously to create a perfect and very unique ring like no other.
