18K White Gold, Asymmetric Ring with Brown Diamonds

In the era when men’s garments spoke of power and lineage, the kontusz sash — wide, richly woven from silk and gold threads — encircled the waist of a Polish–Lithuanian nobleman like a ceremonial belt of honor. Worn over the żupan, it often became a treasured heirloom, passed down through generations. This ring, crafted in 18-karat white gold, draws from that forgotten world, reimagining the gesture of sashes and silks into contemporary form.

Its asymmetrical silhouette evokes the soft folds of fine fabric — but instead of embroidery, rows of diamonds define the piece. Fancy brown diamonds (0.39 ct) resemble the aged patina of time, while a border of white diamonds (0.29 ct, color G, clarity VS) shines like threads of light woven into an ornate textile.

This is not a ring born of modern trends — it’s a translation of gesture and memory. A tribute to elegance rooted in heritage, and to an old Republic where jewelry spoke as much as words.
