- About The Wide Band Ring of 18K Gold Leaves and Berries
18K gold (yellow, rose and white) were used to create the marvelous relief foliage and fruit motif making this wide band so beautiful.
The sculpted foundation of leaves is a casting. Each leaf of the open work is engraved by hand, while its surface is textured. Berries of white gold, in groups of three, are created and applied by hand, as are the rose gold stems of the leaves leading from them.
White gold berries, one between each leaf, elegantly complete the perfectly detailed foliate edge of his romantic, medieval theme, dating to the Verona of Romeo and Juliet!
