"I loved you before I ever met you. I will love you until the sun dies. And when it does, I will love you in the darkness."
—Pierce Brown

The Vespera ring is a hand-carved 2ct (TCW) lab-grown diamond fairy ring with a low profile antique-organic setting with a prong-set center oval brilliant and flush-set half-moon lab diamond accents. Romantic hand-applied milgrain border surrounds each of the stones giving it an antique feel. The sides of the setting feature a leafy vine that create an interesting texture when viewed from the front. This ring pairs perfectly with our Fairy Wing diamond band (pictured in some of the photos below, but available separately).

All of the Knot & Splice designs are hand-carved with occasional soldered prongs. The wax model is cast using the ancient lost wax casting method. No computers were used to create the finished ring.

"Vespera is associated with the evening star, Venus, and evokes a sense of dusk, serenity, and ethereal beauty. In Roman mythology, Vespera was a goddess or deity representing the evening, often depicted as a beautiful maiden."

Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
