A strong, refined statement ring featuring a cushion-cut, responsibly grown Colombian emerald cabochon. No sharp facets or prongs to snag your blazer sleeve, just a delicious gumdrop of bright green held securely by a cup of 18K yellow gold. Officially released in 2021, The Sovereign is our dream solitaire ring. Instead of prongs or a hollow-backed bezel holding the stone, we created a softened square cup of gold — solid underneath — that securely cradles the cushion-cut cabochon. Most rings of a similar design are fabricated (i.e. constructed from bent sheets of metal and solder), but for The Sovereign (and all of our rings) we use the lost wax casting method. This allows for more gold volume, substantial bezel walls, and a strength, density, and softness that is not possible otherwise.We also designed The Sovereign's band to seamlessly connect with the underside of the bezel, so it feels buttery as it glides over the knuckle.
