Hexagon Salt and Pepper Diamond Ring
Something Sparkly.
Where This One Started
We've always been drawn to jewelry that feels like it came from a different time — pieces with a bit of romance, a bit of history, something that makes you stop and look twice. That's the feeling we were chasing when we designed this ring.
We'd been sitting on the idea of a vintage-inspired hexagon piece for a while. Then we found this stone, and everything clicked. Blackish-grey, step-cut, 4.00 carats. It had exactly the kind of quiet intensity we were looking for. We cleared the bench and started.
The Stone
At 12 x 9mm and 4.00 carats, this hexagon diamond takes up real space on the finger. But size isn't what makes it interesting.
It's the step-cut faceting. Most diamonds are cut to maximize brilliance — to throw light back at you as fast and bright as possible. Step cuts work differently. They reflect light in slow, broad flashes, like looking into deep water.
On a stone with this much grey and black running through it, the effect is something we genuinely didn't expect the first time we held it under the light, but the matrix shifts. The depth changes. You keep looking.
We've worked with a lot of salt and pepper diamonds. This one sat with us for a while before we touched it.
Our 6-Prong Setting: Hexagon Salt and Pepper Diamond Ring
The 6-prong setting is something we've come back to again and again in our work, and for a hexagon stone, it makes complete sense. Each prong lands at a corner, which means every flat face of the stone stays fully open. Neither sits over the facets nor cuts into the geometry.
On either side, we set three round brilliant cut diamonds — six total, 0.14 carats — in prong settings that mirror the center. The brilliants were a deliberate choice. They're everything the hexagon isn't, but quick, bright, flashing.
Next to the slow grey depth of the center stone, they catch light in a completely different way. That tension between the two is what gives this ring its personality. It's why we kept the design exactly as it was after the first prototype came back.
The Band
White gold, 1.5mm, smooth and polished all the way around.
We went with white gold because it pulls the ring into one temperature. The cool metal, the cool stone, the small brilliants — everything sits in the same range. It feels like one complete thought rather than several things placed next to each other.
The slim band keeps the focus where it belongs. On the stones.
The Work That Goes Into It
Setting a 4.00 carat hexagon takes time. Our artisans work through every stage of this ring by hand — shaping and polishing the band first, then positioning the side stones, then finally setting the center diamond. The prong angles on a stone this size have to be right before anything else can happen around it.
Nobody here rushes that. It's just not how we work.
Ethically Made
Natural, ethically sourced diamonds. Recycled gold. That's been our standard from the beginning, and it hasn't changed. We want the full story behind every ring we make to hold up — not just the part you can see.
