Red Romancing the Stone
If you know L. J. West, then you know that the company is very well known for creating pieces featuring diamonds in rare and unquestionably stunning colors. If you are a fan of diamonds, then you have likely seen L. J. West’s gorgeous selection of green diamonds, blue diamonds, and pink diamonds.
However, the company has outdone even itself with what you are seeing here: the Argyle Red Romance. It is considered an utterly unprecedented piece, and it is quite easy to see what.
The ring is platinum with three matched diamonds in a color that tastefully, stunningly mixes red and purple. The stone in the center of the ring is a whopping 1.90 karats, while the stones bracketing it are 0.49 karats and 0.54 karats, respectively.
As you might expect, a ring like this fetches quite the premium price. Just to give you an idea, consider this: for a single red diamond which is not even an entire karat, a buyer at an auction paid one million dollars.
