Paloma Honda

Paloma Honda, The 2N Signature Collection, is a round-diamond ring, photographed exactly as it will reach you and sold exactly as it stands. The Spanish name means deep dove, the white bird whose cooing seems to come from somewhere far below the surface of the afternoon. It is for the woman whose gentleness has depth.

A round IGI Certified Premium Lab Grown Diamond of 1.6 carats sits at the center, graded F in color and VS in clarity, with an Ideal cut and Excellent polish and symmetry. Eighty-two smaller diamonds accompany it, so that eighty-three stones carry 2 carats in all, set in 14K Rose Gold. That many small stones make a soft, dense shimmer around the center, like the fine down on a dove's breast, and rose gold sets a pink flush beneath it all.

The dove has always been a messenger of peace, and its deep voice is the sound of a house at rest. To wear a ring named for it is to carry a little of that rest into whatever room you enter. The quiet shimmer around the center works on the eye the way a lullaby works on the ear.

You want it for the calm that it gives off. The round stone, the thick feather of tiny lights, the pink gold warm against the skin. I deserve it. I can have it. I want it. Said low and slowly, the words have the roundness of a coo.

Fortune comes to the peaceful. In every era, the people who were at ease were the ones to whom the best offers came, for the simple reason that it is pleasant to do business with a calm person. Let Paloma Honda be your keepsake by serenity: it keeps its wearer composed, and composure is a form of credit.

Wear it for the love that is gentle and deep, and let its elegance be soft, pink and downy with light. 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.

Each of the eighty-three stones is in its place when the ring arrives, and the rose gold is the shade you can see, so the dove you picked is the dove that lands. Paloma Honda priced at $2,329.
