Honeycomb Ring With Sapphire
2009
Palladium, Blue Sapphire
Nodeforms first CAD CAM ring. This is a collaboration between 3 architects to design the perfect engagement ring for another architect.
Honeycomb structure band with a blue marquise sapphire gem. The sapphire is 0.4 carat and measures 3.5 mm by 7 mm.
The ring is cast in palladium which is a very rare metal, that is 30 times more rare than gold. This white metal is fairly new in the jewelry market. It does not require any plating and will wear over time better than white gold. Palladium is naturally white and will not tarnish. Like platinum, palladium does not require rhodium plating and will maintain its bright white color indefinitely. In contrast, white gold will yellow over time and require repeated rhodium plating to maintain its whiteness. Palladium rarely causes allergic reactions. Many people who are unable to wear white gold alloys due to the wide use of nickel as an alloying element will find palladium to be a great alternative.
Palladium is durable.
