We use antique old mine cut diamonds, all dating to the 1800s and considered recycled. Hand-cut by eye in candlelight, each diamond was shaped to follow the natural form of its original rough, giving every stone its own character and subtle imperfections.

How It's Made
The cast in wood process is a method of forging 18k gold in hand carved wooden boxes. It is an old technique, used by the Ancient Romans, and has not been seen for a thousand years or more. At Rigby Leigh, we have re-developed this technique and are the only ones in the world working this way.
This technique leaves the ring with the shape and finish of the natural wood grain, for a uniquely organic look. It also means each piece is unique and un-repeatable. No two pieces ever can look the same, because it is all down to the natural grain.
Each piece is then presented in a handmade wood box, made out of the wooden crucible it was cast in. This box beautifully preserves the moment in nature captured in your piece, a beautiful keepsake or an unforgettable presentation piece.
