Ever see a ring like this ????

Keep in mind - with almost every custom ring created, there comes a backstory.

Way back in 2012, Novell Design Studio entered Platinum Guild’s Platinum Innovation Awards with this beauty.

It's been catching eyes ever since.

And never goes out of style.

Featuring 6 black diamonds all around the ring (approximately1/3 carat total weight), the dark area comes from a coating of black rhodium.

It also looks like a design you might see featured on Game of Thrones.

Because it’s made with platinum, the white edges and raised design will never change color (unlike with white gold – which isn’t naturally white).

This ring is also not mass produced. You can order it special through a jewelry retailer.

Also made better in America!

By now you might want to ask - what is black rhodium?

Black is one of many colors of rhodium. Normally rhodium is silver-white. It is typically plated onto white gold to give it a bright finish. By adding dark ink to rhodium, colors can be created that vary from light gray to black.

Platinum jewelry is usually 95% pure and identified by the stamp - PLAT.  Platinum is 100% hypoallergenic.  It has a natural cloud white color, so there is never a reason that it needs to be rhodium plated.  Platinum can be combined with other colors and types of precious metals. Its design possibilities are limitless.

Platinum may appear to scratch, but the metal is just moving around. You can have platinum refinished over and over without losing much mass – if any at all.

If you scratch white gold, the gold is lost.

Unlike many alternative metals, platinum can be resized. Diamonds also hold secure due to the metal’s strength.

And don’t worry! If over time the black rhodium wears off (as it is applied like paint on a wall), you can have a new layer put on. The ring can look just like new!
