Rockefeller Rock Crystal Diamond

Fine Jewelry Ring

This ring is inspired by the bold characteristics of New York City. Like the city, this ring portrays courage, love, and vulnerability. Rock crystal is used as its name represents the "rock" city of New York - buildings cover the whole city.

This ring, designed by Tippy Hung YuTing, is a stunning piece of fine jewelry made in 14K yellow gold. Its standout feature is a custom-cut trillion-cut natural rock crystal. Affixed onto the rock crystal is a triangle piece filled with tiny pave diamonds, resembling a diamond shield. The precision of the measurements is crucial to ensure that the top metal shield fits perfectly on the surface of the rock crystal.

The realization of this design involved several steps. First, a ring setting was drawn on paper and transferred to a computer to create a digital model. The design was then casted, and a raw rock crystal was cut to fit the setting. The top surface of the rock crystal was carefully measured to create the top metal piece filled with diamonds. Once the diamonds were set, the top piece was affixed to the rock crystal by drilling holes on its surface, securely joining the two elements together.

The specifications of this design include a natural rock crystal measuring 9mm, set in 14K yellow gold, with natural round diamonds of SI clarity. The ring can be worn as a stylish accessory or displayed at home as a collectible, showcasing its unique design and craftsmanship.

Tippy Hung YuTing, the designer behind this exquisite ring, drew inspiration from the boldness of New York City. The handcrafted 14K yellow gold ring, featuring a custom trillion-cut natural rock crystal and natural diamonds, breaks away from traditional designs by incorporating drilled holes in the rock crystal to affix the top pave piece. This innovative approach adds a unique perspective to the ring, making it a standout piece of jewelry.

The Rockefeller Rock Crystal Diamond ring has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the A' Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2022. This prestigious award honors designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence. The ring's incorporation of best practices in art, science, design, and technology contributes to its recognition as an outstanding piece of jewelry that enhances the quality of life.
