Traversine eternity ring in white gold, overall three-quarter view

Collection Traversine·Anello

Traversine full-eternity ring in white gold with diamonds all around

Fifty-four diamonds in a closed row: the circle never breaks.

€3.560,00 A883b/6

Drawn and built by hand at the bench, in Tosi.

The circle does not break: eighteen large brilliants run all the way round the finger, and between one and the next sits a vertical cross-bar with two small brilliants set into it. Stone, cross-bar, stone: the alternation covers the whole circumference, and from whichever side you look at the hand the design is the same.

Three grams eighty-three of eighteen-carat white gold. The eighteen large brilliants come to one carat three points, the thirty-six small brilliants of the cross-bars eighteen points: fifty-four stones for one carat twenty-one in all. It is all done by hand, seat by seat, and in a ring that goes right round there is no point where a mistake can be hidden.

How it is made

The words of the trade, one by one, explained to those who do not know them.

Eternity setting
In an eternity ring there is no solid band carrying the stones: the circle is made only of the diamond seats and the cross-bars that separate them. Every seat is therefore structure as well, and a single badly closed joint gives way under the hand of the wearer.
Brilliant cut
Fifty-seven facets calculated so that the light entering from above comes back from the same side. It is the cut that makes a diamond sparkle, and the reason a badly cut diamond stays dull.

I don't look at what others are doing: I would rather create in my own style. That is what makes our jewelry recognizable.

Made for you

Every ring is made to the size of the person who will wear it: we settle it together before work begins.

The goldsmith's workshop is also the place where made-to-measure jewellery is created and family pieces are restored: if you have an idea, or something you want brought back to how it was, that is where it starts.
