Marea de Ceniza

Marea de Ceniza, The 2N Signature Collection, is a radiant-cut diamond ring, photographed exactly as it will reach you and sold exactly as it stands. Spanish gives the name its sense of a tide of ash, the soft gray line that the sea draws along a quiet beach at dusk, and then draws back. It is for the woman who loves the shore when no one else is there.

A radiant-cut IGI Certified Premium Lab Grown Diamond of 2.03 carats sits at the center, graded F in color and VS in clarity, with an Ideal cut and Excellent polish and symmetry. Forty-eight smaller diamonds follow the band, so that forty-nine stones carry 3 carats in all, set in 14K Rose Gold. The radiant is a rectangle with trimmed corners and the fire of a round brilliant, and against the rose gold it glows like the first lamp lit on a darkening coast. The small stones along the shank pulse like the foam that edges every wave.

A tide is the most patient force there is. It does not argue with the shore; it arrives, retreats and arrives, and the shore is changed by it. A woman who has the same persistence will recognize this ring. It is a bright rectangle at the head of a long gleaming line, and the line moves with the hand as the sea moves with the moon.

You want it as you want the sound of waves. The strong clear rectangle. The rose of the metal, warmer than the gray sea. The glitter running down both sides of the band like light on water. I deserve it. I can have it. I want it. Say it between breaths, as the tide would, and it will come back to you.

Fortune follows the tide, as every port knows. Ships left and arrived on its hours, and cities were rich or poor by their harbors. This ring is a keepsake in the harbor master's sense: it marks the hour at which the water is high and the way is open.

Wear it for the love that comes back to the same shore again and again, and let its elegance be rhythmic, bright and rosy, with the ease of water on sand. 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.

Every stone stands in its place, as the shore before the water comes, and the ring reaches your hand in the radiant cut and the rose gold you can see. Marea de Ceniza priced at $2,538. Buy Now, Pay Later takes you straight to your cart, and there is no reason not to follow the tide.
