Eric van Limpt's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the craftsmanship of "The Dunes." The ring is designed using advanced 3D design software, allowing for precise modeling and rendering. The wax model is then printed in 3D wax components and casted in 9 parts of 18 karat palladium white gold. Each part is meticulously finished and welded together using 18k solder. The diamond is set with 8 paws pointed towards the center, ensuring a secure and elegant display. The ring is hand-polished, highlighting the natural beauty of the materials used.

What sets "The Dunes" apart is not only its stunning design and craftsmanship but also its ability to interact with light. The open setting and precise positioning of the diamond allow for an uninterrupted play of light and shadows. The greenish yellow color of the diamond adds to the mesmerizing display, constantly adapting to the surrounding light and revealing a variety of colors in unexpected ways.

Eric van Limpt's journey to create "The Dunes" was filled with challenges and experimentation. The dimensions and flow of the dunes had to be carefully translated into the design, ensuring a seamless transition from small to wide.
