ARES – Opal Inlay

A vivid expression of solid black diamond and opal. ARES is precision-shaped with clean beveled edges and a centered opal inlay that introduces color and light into the defining Elysium profile.

Designed as a wedding band and made for everyday wear, ARES – Opal Inlay balances the permanence and depth of solid black diamond with a more expressive material contrast. The beveled architecture remains strong and defined, while the opal becomes part of the band itself rather than a stone set above it.

The ARES Opal Inlay

The opal runs through the center of the ring in a clean, continuous line. Its placement preserves the symmetry of the ARES profile while adding color, depth, and subtle shifts in light across the band.

The inlay is proportioned to the width of the ring: 1mm in the 6mm and 7mm bands and 2mm in the 8mm band. Around it, the beveled edges maintain the structured silhouette that defines ARES.

Solid Black Diamond

Elysium begins with millions of diamond crystals fused under extreme heat and pressure to create solid black diamond. From that material, each ring is precision-shaped and finished for a lifetime of wear.

Rather than assembling a traditional ring and adding diamond as an accent, ARES begins with solid black diamond itself. The opal is shaped into that material, creating a single finished ring built around the contrast between solid black diamond and color.
