Est. $2,200-$2,500 Carrera y Carrera 18K Yellow Gold 11.5mm Wide Lovers Band W/High Relief Figural Details & Diamond Accent - This stunning ring is made of solid 18K yellow gold, and has high relief, textured figural cut outs of a loving couple. The woman is closing her eyes while sedate, and the man is lovingly kissing her lower chin. Carrera y Carrera is an icon of gold craftsmanship and jewelry artisanship, and creates each piece in its workshops as if it were a small work of art. Each piece is meticulously crafted, in a series of labor intensive steps. The piece is first sketched by the designer, and is then sculpted by the hands of expert modelers, from a block of hard wax, and then the master prototype is created in silver once it has reached the optimal design. The piece is then transformed into gold using the traditional lost wax casting method, and is then finished by master jewelers who painstakingly choose the gems and set them into the piece. The final touch, and Carrera y Carrera's trademark, is the matte-gloss finish, which allows a greater appreciation of the details of these small sculptures. Carrera y Carrera has a long history of celebrity clientele, including Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Olivia Wilde, and many others. Ring sz. 8 (10.8 Grams)
