Our planet's hardest naturally occurring substance, formed 3 billion yrs ago, one hundred miles beneath the Earth's surface, under intense heat and pressure; in Latin 'Adamas' or 'Adamantam', meaning 'indestructible' - DIAMOND. A beautiful metaphor for this ring's wearer - strong, brilliant, tough under pressure, admired by all, radiating light - after years of watching this amazing woman shine, it was a total pleasure & privilege making this for her. Enjoy, K! Hand carved setting lost wax cast into 22KY gold with subtle hand hammered final touches. #ilovemyjob #iamasmallbusiness (at Berkeley, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAWFy53JX3-/?igshid=vgo4eyj2emto
