Swiss jewelry company Shawish unveiled a model of the world's first all-diamond ring at the 2012 Baselworld watch and jewelry show, which closed on March 15. The design actually debuted in Spring 2011, and after reading initial news coverage many pondered the concept: An all-diamond, diamond ring?
How would it be sized? Is it comfortable? What is the quality of the rough? (Legitimate questions for anyone interested in a diamond ring valued at almost $70 million.) The Shawish design has been copyrighted and named "The World's First All-Diamond Ring"--made from one rough diamond of 150 carats.
• Can the ring be sized? No. The ring will be a custom creation made to fit a client's finger.
