RAPAPORT... Graff Diamonds has introduced a ring design
inspired by America’s flamboyance in the 1920s and the excitement of alcohol-laden
secret parties of the prohibition era in the U.S.
Rings in
the new collection feature a dome consisting of layers of diamonds in a swirl,
with an elevated central stone as the focal point, the U.K.-based jewelry
retailer said in a statement.
“In
America during this time, women were enjoying greater freedom as a
revolutionary change in society enabled their vote and liberated their fashion,”
the company said in the statement. “The thrill of attending an illegal party
with bootleg alcohol spurred the celebration of their newfound independence as
they basked in the revelry.”
Women at
the time wore “show-stopping” statement rings which in subsequent years were billed
‘cocktail rings’ and have remained fashionable, Graff said in the statement.
Among
the designs is a ring of “exceptionally rare” pink pavé diamonds surrounding a
4.18-carat brilliant round precious stone. Others incorporate white pavé
diamonds featuring a 5.34-carat radiant-cut fancy intense yellow stone, a
4.38-carat emerald-cut diamond or a 4.21-carat pear-shaped stone.
