25-year-old Indian jeweller’s 12,638-diamond ring sets world record


 A jeweller from Meerut has found a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for making a ring with the maximum number of diamonds.

The record was earlier held by a Hyderabad jeweller, Kotti Srikanth, who had made a ring with 7,801 diamonds.

An elaborate floral-shaped ring sporting 12,638 tiny diamonds has earned a place in the Guinness World Records — but its Indian creator has no plans to sell his priceless design just yet.

Called “The Marigold – The Ring of Prosperity”, the chunky circular band weighs a little over 165 grams.

“It’s wearable and comfortable,” said 25-year-old Harshit Bansal, who described his audacious creation as a dream project.

Bansal said he got the idea two years ago while studying jewellery design in Surat.

“My target was always more than 10,000 diamonds. I trashed many designs and concepts over the years to finally zero in on this,” Bansal told AFP.

In a statement, his company said that each tiny petal in the ring’s eight-layer flower design was unique.

Bansal said he had already knocked back requests from prospective buyers.

“We have no plans of selling it right now,” he said. “It’s a matter of pride for us. It’s priceless.”

The previous record determined by Guinness, also set in India, was for a ring containing 7,801 diamonds.

Elegant pearl jewellery for glamorous June birthdays

  The pearl is the only ‘gem’ in the world produced by a living creature; rising from the sea as opposed to originating from the depths of the earth. Up until the 19th century, pearls were predominantly worn by nobility, be they Kings, Queens, Maharajahs or Chinese Emperors, set into crowns or sewn onto clothes, to symbolise power and wealth. La Peregrina (meaning ‘The Wanderer’) is the most legendary pearl of all; 55 carats and renowned for its   perfect   symmetry. It was discovered in the Gulf of Panama in the 16th century and first owned by a succession of Spanish monarchs, and later gifted to Queen Mary I of England, who can be seen wearing it in historical portraits. It was bought at auction in 1969 by Richard Burton, as a gift for Elizabeth Taylor, who had Cartier design a necklace of pearls and rubies around it, based on a portrait of Mary Tudor. And in 2011, after Elizabeth’s death, La Peregrina was sold by Christie’s, fetching $11.8 million. Coco Chanel declared...

How to check hallmarking details of your jewellery.

Image
  Starting 16 June, all jewellers must sell hallmarked jewellery. The government has taken the step to ensure there is no mis-selling. Many times,  jewellers  may sell  jewellery  stating that it’s 22-karat, but it could be of lower purity in reality. But if a jeweller wants to, it can also fake hallmarking details. To ensure that the hallmarking on  jewellery  is genuine, there are a few things that you can look at. Hallmark is a certification of purity. A jeweller can get the hallmark certificate from assaying and hallmarking centres (AHCs). The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) accredits these centres. The jeweller must also get a licence from BIS to get its goods hallmarked. A piece of  hallmarked jewellery  tells you the purity of gold – whether it’s 18-karat, 20-karat or 22-karat. When  buying jewellery , you will notice three marks on hallmarked  jewellery —purity, assaying or hallmarking centre’s identification mark, and the ...
