Est. $8,000-$8,500 Carrera y Carrera 0.85ctw VVS2-VS1/F-G Diamond 18K Limited Edition Angelitos Ring W/0.15ctw Emerald Accents (From Retired Model's Estate) - This incredible piece from Carrera y Carrera is part of the Angelitos collection, and was finely crafted of solid 18K yellow gold. The ring features a breathtaking design and exceptional decoration, with an angel with spread wings. The piece is lavishly set with approx. 0.85ctw genuine VVS2-VS1/F-G diamonds, and approx. 0.15ctw genuine near flawless emerald accents. The ring shows stunning attention to detail, as you can see the facial expressions of the angel, as well as the fluid movement of her hair. The designer's use of both matte and polished finishes truly shows the spectacular craftsmanship that is synonymous with this fine luxury brand. This piece truly radiates sophistication and poise, and creates an aura of luxurious beauty through its graceful shape and delicate ornaments. The necklace is signed with the Carrera y Carrera hallmark, gold purity, maker's mark, and unique serial number. Ring size: 6.5. This piece comes from a famous model's estate, and she used it around the world while walking the runways (no provenance is provided, because she wishes to remain a private seller). This was a limited edition piece, and is no longer in production. 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. This piece is in excellent condition, and looks as though it has hardly been worn. (WEIGHT: 10.6 grams)
