The Golden Empress

The Golden Empress

6.03 Carat Fancy Vivid Yellow VS1 Portuguese-Cut Diamond | 14K Yellow Gold | $8,800

Some diamonds are meant to be worn. The Golden Empress was made to be remembered.

At the heart of this extraordinary statement ring sits an incredible 6.03 carat Fancy Vivid Yellow VS1 Portuguese-cut diamond—a combination of size, color, clarity and cutting style that is exceptionally difficult to come across.

The Portuguese cut is in a category of its own. While a traditional round brilliant typically contains only 57–58 facets, Portuguese faceting can incorporate well over 100 individual facets, arranged in intricate concentric tiers. The result is the unmistakable kaleidoscopic pattern visible through the center of the diamond—layer upon layer of light, fire and movement that seems to change every time the stone turns.

Now combine that already-unusual cut with Fancy Vivid Yellow color.

Fancy Vivid represents intensely saturated diamond color, and seeing that rich golden hue displayed through the complex geometry of a Portuguese cut makes this stone even more distinctive. At 6.03 carats with VS1 clarity, The Golden Empress has the size to showcase every detail of that remarkable faceting pattern.

The center diamond is surrounded by a dramatic diamond halo, amplifying its size and brilliance while creating an unmistakable crown-like appearance. The entire design is finished in luxurious 14K yellow gold, allowing the warm metal to complement the vivid golden center while the surrounding white diamonds provide a brilliant contrast.

Six-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond jewelry can enter five-figure retail territory, and specialty Portuguese-cut stones of this size and color are considerably harder to source than conventional cuts.
