Silver and Gold ring, with Diamonds. Very simple form, created in Sydney, crafted in Sydney. A contemporary design but so sculptural that it could almost be ancient.
The combination of Silver and Gold in jewellery not only provides an interesting contrast in noble metal colours, it also helps to keep the price down, especially in this anno 2023 era of high Gold price.
When a bench jeweller must pay $Aus100 for one gram of 999 Gold, a ring weighing 7.5 grams, which would be approx the weight of the above ring were it to be entirely in 18ct Gold, would begin its journey at $750 worth of metal, without the labour or the gemstones or the setting of the gemstones, or the wastage in metal in the working, or any profit whatsoever, let alone GST.
