AMAZONA : There’s a retro look to this cocktail ring from Brazilian designer Vancox’s Amazona collection featuring feldspar, set in 18-karat yellow gold. This neutral-colored stone, which is found deep within the earth’s crust and has pink, cosmetic-like overtones, contrasts beautifully with the richness of the yellow gold and the sparkle of the diamonds. The stone’s rectangular shape gives the ring a Mod, 1960s look.
Although Vancox, a Brazilian jewelry house founded in 1982, has established an international reputation for crafting luscious gemstone jewelry, it isn't just the quality and attention to detail that the company strives for. Instead, it is the aesthetics. Vancox uses many different stone cuts and different gold surfaces and textures to add interest to the pieces, and makes use of pavé-set gemstones, a type of setting used for diamonds and also for colored gemstones, in which small stones are set very close together.
