Ete Ring

Slice Diamond Ring Band

The Ete Ring, designed by Payal Shah, is a unique collection of 18K gold diamond band rings that combines classical minimalism with contemporary design. Inspired by avant-garde architecture, this ring is a testament to the designer's background and education. Each piece is bespoke, making them one-of-a-kind.

Ete rings are influenced by today's avant-garde architecture design, combining mixed media, mixed cultures, and dimensional structures. The main attraction of these rings is the use of slice diamonds, which add a lifelike ingredient of texture and provide a gradient that adapts to the personality and ambiance of the wearer.

The architecture of the Ete ring is a band, a definitive shape that appeals to all ages and can be worn to numerous events. The façade of the ring features unique slice diamonds in different shades, complemented with white, yellow, or rose gold circling the paisley cylinder frame. The flat glass-like facade on the slice diamonds reflects different rays of light in various ambiances, adding a bold character to the ring.

Ete rings are handmade jewelry, meticulously crafted to create an enhancive look. The basic architecture of the ring is molded around a band and adorned with slice diamonds to create an impact. White diamonds border the ring to visually enhance the curved exterior on the band, while the paisley swirls inside the two-level band add a classic feminine feel. Each piece is made with specific materials, making them truly unique.

The Ete ring is designed to be worn on any of the middle three fingers, with a scaled size that allows for flexibility and comfort. The quality control team ensures that the placement of the slice diamonds does not cause any discomfort or damage to the wearer. The aim is to create a fashion statement while keeping comfort and flexibility as a priority.

The Ete ring took up to 3 weeks to manufacture in Shun De, China in March 2012. It is made of 18K gold in white, yellow, or rose, with black rhodium accents. The frame is adorned with white diamonds, while the slice diamonds are uniquely placed and assorted for each piece made. The US ring size is 6.5.

The Ete ring was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2013 in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Ete ring stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world.
