Alborada Eterna

Alborada Eterna, The 2N Signature Collection, is an emerald-cut diamond ring, photographed exactly as it will reach you and sold exactly as it stands. The name is Spanish for eternal dawn, the song or the hour that greets the first light and seems, for a moment, never to end. It is for the woman who would like her mornings to be remembered.

An emerald-cut IGI Certified Premium Lab Grown Diamond of 1.7 carats sits at the center, graded F in color and VS in clarity, with an Ideal cut and Excellent polish and symmetry. Thirty smaller diamonds line the band, so that thirty-one stones carry 2 carats in all, set in two-tone 14K White and Yellow Gold. The emerald cut is a step cut: its facets run in long tiers like the treads of a staircase, and they produce broad, clear sheets of light rather than a scatter of sparks. It is the cut of still water and of old glass, and it makes a finger look composed.

Dawn is the most generous hour of the day. It asks nothing and promises everything, and those who are awake for it know a particular kind of peace. A woman who wears this ring carries a little of that hour with her into the afternoon, a tall panel of morning light on the hand, flanked by the two-toned glow of a sky just clearing.

You begin to want it the way you want to be awake early. The long clean stone. The fine glitter along the band. The thought of your hand on the window ledge as the first sun comes over the roofs. I deserve it. I can have it. I want it. The sentences arrive like birdsong, one after another, until the whole morning is singing.

Fortune has always been an early riser. The old proverbs say that the day belongs to the one who meets it first, and diamonds were worn by those who did. Think of this ring as a keepsake in the oldest sense: it dresses the hour in which opportunities are found.

Wear it for the love that is renewed every morning, in small kindnesses and in large, and let its elegance be tall, clear and faintly golden, like a window facing east. It is sold exactly as photographed, in the metal and size shown, with no changes. If you would like anything altered, the Private Collection is made for exactly that.

Everything in the photographs travels to you intact, from the long emerald panel to the thirty small stones along the band, ready for tomorrow's first light. Alborada Eterna priced at $1,766. Buy Now, Pay Later takes you straight to your cart, and there is no reason not to be up before the sun.
