Initials Diamond, Quartz & 14kt Gold Ring

The artful construction of Mateo's 14kt gold Initial ring is informed by the designer's enduring fascination with modern architecture. It's handmade in the label's New York workshop with a pane of antique-cut quartz overlaying a letter motif, then adorned with prong-set round-cut diamonds across the frame and band.
