The Kumihimo Knot
Giulia received the aquamarine as a graduation gift, with the freedom to turn it into whatever she wished.
Made for Liev and Rita, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The story
Liev and Rita have known each other since childhood. He proposed with a branded ring that turned out too fashionable to last. For their wedding anniversary, he wanted the ring that should have been there all along: classic enough for him, modern enough for her.

From Italy to Amsterdam
01
Liev had one request: a pear-shaped diamond. Everything else, he left to Yulia.
02
His love of classic design, her distinctly modern taste. The pear diamond had to sit between them.
03
The industrial town where they grew up shaped the cathedral shank: strength you can see, kept light.
04
Handmade in 18K white gold by our master artisans in Florence, with updates at every stage.
05
Given on their wedding anniversary. It became her engagement ring too, replacing the branded one from the proposal. She wears it every day.
The whole experience was surprisingly stress-free for something this important. They guided me through the process, were easy to reach, and I never felt lost or rushed.
