There are three brass wires on this remarkable piece. One of them stands out. Firmly embedded in it, there are ten diamonds with the most impressive origin story. Their rich, deep black hue comes from inclusions. Every now and then, in a span of millions of years, a small miracle happens. Instead of a regular inclusion, a graphite cluster forms and takes over the diamond. In that case, instead of a pure white diamond, a black diamond is created.

The brass applications contribute to the ring’s vintage look the most. There are three in total. One small and two that stretch from the top to the bottom of the ring. They form an X in the middle and give out an illusion that they are wrapped around the ring. Right next to them, there are three silver plates that balance out the modern motifs with the ancient, Hellenic ones.

The body of the Troy ring is forged from pure Sterling Silver. The artist John Varvatos selected it for its unmatched advantage for jewelry-making. It is the most durable kind of silver that can last for centuries completely unchanged. It’s perfectly suitable for long-term wear because its hypoallergenic characteristics never cause rash or skin irritation.
