Fancy colored diamonds are absolutely amazing. One of the most eminent experts on fancy colored diamonds was Harry Rodman, a New York-based gold refiner who founded Aurora Gems, a company specializing in fancy colored diamonds. Alan Bronstein, a diamond dealer from New Jersey, now runs Aurora Gems and deals in remarkable colored diamonds. The pair created two stunning art installations in the 1990’s: The Pyramid of Hope and The Aurora Butterfly of Peace.

The Pyramid of Hope boasts 296 fancy colored gems sourced from across the globe. Individually, the stones are stunning but together they are a work of art and an unparalleled collection. The piece holds a cumulative 267 carats and has toured continents, drawing spectators far and wide. This duo also curated The Aurora Butterfly of Peace, which contains 240 natural colored diamonds shaped like a butterfly. They chose the shape because butterflies are one of the most diverse and colorful creatures in the natural world, and they symbolize a peaceful and happy spirit. It took over 12 years to collect all of these gems and its creators dedicated it “to all the people of the world and to universal peace and harmony among all men, religions and races.” But the collection goes beyond beauty and symbolism, as it has contributed to scientific discovery. Studies on the Butterfly of Peace have led to breakthroughs on fluorescence and phosphorescence in colored diamonds.

This ring features 9 glorious colored gems. The colors work so well together and the pattern is both semi-symmetrical and harmonious. Clocking in with a cumulative 1.02ctw of diamonds situated on a big, bold face, we love this fabulous specimen of excellence.
