The Collection: Handmade 18k Gold Engagement Rings & Wedding Bands in Manila
Handmade Engagement Rings
Each engagement ring is individually handcrafted in solid 18k gold, combining traditional goldsmithing with contemporary design. Whether you choose a signature design or commission something entirely your own, every ring is created to celebrate a unique story and become an heirloom for generations to come.
A timeless solitaire, interpreted through the hand of the goldsmith.
The Signature Solitaire is designed for someone who appreciates the elegance of a classic engagement ring but wants something with greater substance, individuality and permanence.
At its centre is a one-carat oval laboratory-grown diamond, set within a handmade 18k yellow gold ring. The clean silhouette allows the diamond to remain the focus, while the signature hand-applied granulation introduces a level of craftsmanship that reveals itself the closer the ring is viewed.
Beneath the diamond, an oculus completes the design. Visible only when the ring is turned over, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts the world sees.
Designed and individually handcrafted in 18k gold, the Signature Solitaire is made to become an heirloom, carrying both the story of its maker and the story of the person who wears it.
Why it's different
Many solitaire engagement rings are designed to make the diamond appear as large as possible while using the minimum amount of gold.
The Signature Solitaire takes a different approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, creating a setting with greater strength, balance and longevity. Rather than simply supporting the diamond, the gold is given equal importance in the design.
The signature granulation is more than decoration. Every granule is individually formed and applied by hand, creating texture, depth and a distinctive identity that runs throughout the Rings by NK collection.

A timeless solitaire, interpreted through the hand of the goldsmith.
The Signature Solitaire — Marquise is designed for someone who appreciates the elegance of a classic engagement ring but wants something with greater substance, individuality and permanence.
At its centre is a one-carat marquise laboratory-grown diamond, set within a handmade 18k yellow gold ring. The elongated shape gives the diamond a distinctive presence across the finger, while the signature hand-applied granulation introduces a level of craftsmanship that reveals itself the closer the ring is viewed.
The setting follows the sharp, elegant geometry of the marquise, drawing the gold tightly around the diamond and carrying that shape into the shoulders of the ring.
Beneath the diamond, a sculpted oculus completes the design. Visible only when the ring is turned over, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts the world sees.
Designed and individually handcrafted in 18k gold, the Signature Solitaire — Marquise is made to become an heirloom, carrying both the story of its maker and the story of the person who wears it.

The marquise diamond is enclosed within a fine gold bezel, allowing its pointed silhouette to remain clean and uninterrupted while giving the setting a distinctive architectural quality.
The signature granulation is more than decoration. Every granule is individually formed and applied by hand, creating texture, depth and a distinctive identity that runs throughout the Rings by NK collection.

Three diamonds, balanced by proportion and craftsmanship.
The Emerald Trilogy is designed for someone who appreciates clean architectural lines and understated confidence. Rather than relying on elaborate decoration, its beauty comes from proportion, exceptional diamonds and the craftsmanship that brings them together.
At its center is a 1.05-carat emerald-cut laboratory-grown diamond, complemented by two 2.0 mm round brilliant diamonds. The crisp geometry of the emerald cut is softened by the signature hand-applied granulation, individually formed and fused one granule at a time, adding warmth, texture and detail that reveals itself the closer the ring is viewed.
Hidden beneath the center diamond is a sculpted oculus. Visible only when the ring is turned over, it is created for the viewing pleasure of its owner and reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts seen by others.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Emerald Trilogy is designed to become an heirloom, combining contemporary elegance with traditional goldsmithing techniques.
Why it's different
Many three-stone rings use the side stones simply to make the center diamond appear larger.
The Emerald Trilogy takes a more considered approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, allowing every element to work together as a complete composition. The emerald-cut center diamond provides calm, linear flashes of light, while the round brilliant side diamonds introduce contrast and brilliance. Surrounding them, the signature granulation adds a level of handcrafted detail that gives the ring its unmistakable Rings by NK identity.
Rather than drawing attention to one feature alone, the design celebrates the balance between the diamonds, the goldwork and the craftsmanship behind them.

A bold solitaire, balanced by craftsmanship.
The Statement Solitaire is designed for someone who wants the presence of a larger diamond without compromising on craftsmanship or individuality.
At its centre is a 1.5-carat round diamond, set within a handcrafted solid 18k yellow gold ring. The proportions are deliberately balanced, allowing the diamond and the gold to complement one another rather than compete for attention. Signature hand-applied granulation adds fine detail that reveals itself the closer the ring is viewed.
Unlike a conventional solitaire, the granulation continues beneath the setting, carrying the craftsmanship into an area rarely seen. It reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts the world sees.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k gold, the Statement Solitaire is created to become an heirloom, combining exceptional materials with traditional goldsmithing techniques.
Why it's different
Many large solitaire rings focus almost entirely on maximizing the size of the center diamond.
The Statement Solitaire takes a more balanced approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, creating a setting with greater strength, permanence and presence. Rather than simply supporting the diamond, the gold forms an integral part of the design.
The signature granulation is more than decoration. Every granule is individually formed and applied by hand, continuing seamlessly over the shoulders and beneath the setting. This uninterrupted detail gives the ring a level of craftsmanship that is discovered gradually, rewarding close inspection from every angle.

Handmade Wedding Bands
A wedding band is worn every day and becomes part of who we are. Each band is handcrafted in solid 18k gold in Manila and can be personalized through width, profile, finish and design details, creating a ring that is uniquely yours and made to last a lifetime.
A wedding band defined by the goldsmith's hand.
The Double Granule Band is designed for someone who values craftsmanship over decoration. With no diamonds to draw the eye, every detail of the ring is expressed through proportion, texture and the precision of traditional goldsmithing.
Its gently curved solid 18k yellow gold profile is finished with a soft satin center, framed by two continuous rows of signature hand-applied granulation. Individually formed and fused one granule at a time, the granulation creates a refined rhythm around the ring, catching the light in hundreds of subtle reflections while remaining understated enough for everyday wear.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k gold, the Double Granule Band is a timeless wedding band that celebrates the beauty of the metal itself.
Why it's different
Many wedding bands rely on polished finishes, engraving or diamonds to create interest.
The Double Granule Band takes a different approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with every granule formed and applied by hand before being permanently fused to the band. The satin-finished center provides a quiet contrast to the polished granulation, allowing the detail to remain refined rather than overwhelming.
The result is a wedding band with a distinctive identity that reveals its craftsmanship gradually, rewarding close inspection while remaining elegant enough to wear every day.

A wedding band defined by rhythm, not ornament.
The Pulse Band is designed for someone who appreciates understated craftsmanship. Clean architectural lines are paired with a continuous row of hand-applied gold granules, creating a subtle rhythm that gives the ring its name.
Set within the center channel, each 18k gold granule is individually formed and fused by hand. Together they create a quiet line of texture that catches the light without overpowering the simplicity of the band.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Pulse Band celebrates the beauty of gold itself, proving that detail does not require diamonds.
Why it's different
Many wedding bands rely on contrasting finishes or gemstones to create interest.
The Pulse Band creates its identity through traditional goldsmithing.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with every granule formed and fused by hand into the center channel. The square-profile rails frame the granulation, giving the ring a clean architectural appearance while allowing the handcrafted detail to remain the focal point.

A wedding band where a single diamond becomes the heartbeat of the design.
The Pulse Band is designed for someone who values understated elegance and thoughtful craftsmanship. At its center, a single 2.0 mm laboratory-grown diamond is channel set between clean architectural rails, creating a quiet focal point that gives the ring its name.
Rather than relying on multiple diamonds, the design celebrates a single moment of light, balanced by the warmth and permanence of handcrafted solid 18k yellow gold.
Individually handcrafted, the Pulse Band is a contemporary wedding band designed to be worn every day and treasured for a lifetime.
Why it's different
Many diamond wedding bands use rows of stones to create brilliance.
The Pulse Band takes a more restrained approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with a single channel-set diamond becoming the focal point of an otherwise clean architectural form. The simplicity of the design allows the craftsmanship, proportions and quality of the materials to speak for themselves.

A refined eternity band where every detail has been considered.
The Signature Eternity is designed for someone who appreciates timeless elegance but wants a wedding band with greater craftsmanship and individuality than a conventional diamond eternity ring.
A continuous row of 1.5 mm round brilliant diamonds forms the center of the ring, framed by fine polished rails that give definition to the setting before transitioning into the signature hand-applied granulation. Individually formed and fused one granule at a time, the granulation adds depth, texture and a level of detail that reveals itself the closer the ring is viewed.
Hidden beneath the ring is a single oculus, visible only when the ring is turned over. Created for the viewing pleasure of its owner, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts seen by others.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Signature Eternity is designed to become an heirloom, combining exceptional diamonds with traditional goldsmithing techniques.
Why it's different
Many eternity rings are designed so that the diamonds dominate the entire piece.
The Signature Eternity takes a more balanced approach.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, allowing the goldwork to play an equally important role in the design. Fine polished rails frame the diamonds, while the signature granulation continues around the full circumference, creating a second rhythm of light through the warmth and texture of gold.
Rather than relying solely on sparkle, the Signature Eternity rewards close inspection through the precision of its construction, the refinement of its granulation and the thoughtful details hidden throughout the ring.

A wedding band where the detail is discovered, not displayed.
The Embedded Granule Band is designed for someone who appreciates subtle craftsmanship. At first glance it appears clean and understated. A closer look reveals the signature granulation, recessed into polished gold rails, creating a depth and richness that changes as the light moves across the ring.
The center of the band features a finely stippled finish, providing a soft contrast to the polished rails and the luster of the embedded granules. Together, these textures create a ring that feels quietly confident rather than overtly decorative.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Embedded Granule Band celebrates traditional goldsmithing through texture, precision and attention to detail.
Why it's different
Many wedding bands rely on contrasting finishes alone to create interest.
The Embedded Granule Band goes further.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with every granule formed, positioned and fused by hand before being recessed into the polished rails. This creates genuine depth within the surface of the ring, allowing the granules to catch and reflect light from different angles while remaining protected within the design.
The stippled center introduces another layer of texture, creating a quiet backdrop that allows the polished rails and embedded granulation to stand out. The result is a wedding band that reveals its craftsmanship gradually, rewarding both everyday wear and close inspection.

A wedding band inspired by nature, refined through traditional goldsmithing.
The Flora Rail Band is designed for someone who wants a wedding band that is elegant, feminine and unmistakably handmade.
Its softly rounded solid 18k yellow gold profile is framed by delicate rails of signature hand-applied granulation. Between them, individually formed gold rosettes create a subtle floral rhythm around the entire ring, adding texture and character without relying on diamonds.
Every granule is formed and fused by hand, giving the ring a warmth and individuality that can only be achieved through traditional goldsmithing.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k gold, the Flora Rail Band is designed to become an heirloom, celebrating both the beauty of nature and the craftsmanship of the maker.
Why it's different
Many wedding bands are defined by polished surfaces or diamond settings.

A bold eternity band where the gold is as important as the diamonds.
The Statement Eternity is designed for someone who wants an eternity ring with greater presence—one that celebrates both exceptional diamonds and the craftsmanship surrounding them.
A continuous row of 2.5mm diamonds forms the center of the ring, framed by broad satin-finished rails that create a striking contrast between soft gold and brilliant light. Running alongside the rails is the signature hand-applied granulation, individually formed and fused one granule at a time, adding texture and refinement that reveals itself with every closer look.
Hidden beneath the ring is a single oculus, visible only when the ring is turned over. Created for the viewing pleasure of its owner, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts seen by others.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Statement Eternity is designed to become an heirloom, combining timeless materials with traditional goldsmithing techniques.
Why it's different
Many eternity rings focus almost exclusively on the diamonds.
The Statement Eternity is designed to celebrate the gold just as much.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with satin-finished rails creating a calm architectural frame around the diamonds. The signature granulation runs the full circumference of the ring, introducing a second layer of detail that catches the light in a quieter, more intimate way than the diamonds themselves.
Rather than treating the setting as something to disappear, every element—the diamonds, satin finish, granulation and hidden oculus—is designed to reward both everyday wear and close inspection.

Collector Works
Collector Works is where Rings by NK explore ideas beyond traditional bridal jewelry. These one-of-one pieces are created around exceptional gemstones, unusual materials or architectural concepts, each individually handcrafted in solid 18k gold and never replicated exactly.
Built around the stone. Finished by hand.
Some gemstones don't need embellishment. They need a setting strong enough to hold its own beside them.
At the center of The Aurelia is an exceptional natural tsavorite garnet — intensely green, remarkably clean, and chosen as the starting point for the entire design.
The setting radiates outward from the stone in a series of hand-finished gold facets, framed by rows of granulation that continue along the shoulders of the ring. Broad satin surfaces provide contrast, allowing the polished granules and center stone to catch the light.
The result is bold without being ornamental for its own sake. Every detail leads back to the tsavorite.
Why you'll notice this ring twice
From across the room, it's the color.
The vivid green tsavorite sits against 18k yellow gold, surrounded by a polished radial setting that amplifies its presence.
Look closer and the construction becomes the story. Individual gold granules trace the edges of the ring, following the shoulders and gathering around the center setting. Polished details sit against broad satin surfaces, creating contrast that only becomes apparent at close range.
It's a ring designed to reveal more the longer you look at it.
Handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques
Every Rings by NK piece is individually handcrafted rather than mass produced.
The granulation is created by fusing individual gold spheres to the surface without visible solder, a technique dating back more than 2,500 years to the Etruscans. It remains one of the most demanding processes in jewelry making and gives the ring a level of detail that cannot be replicated through casting alone.
Each granule, surface, and setting is finished individually by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the exact ring I'll receive?
Each Aurelia is individually handmade. While the architectural design remains true to the original, every piece will have subtle characteristics that make it uniquely yours.
Can it be made in my ring size?
Yes. Every ring is made specifically for the wearer and can be produced in virtually any finger size.
Can I choose a different gemstone?
Absolutely.
The design works beautifully with tsavorite garnets, sapphires, spinels, tourmalines, and selected diamonds. During the design process we'll discuss color, size, and budget before sourcing your center stone.
What is tsavorite?
Tsavorite is a rare green variety of grossular garnet, prized for its vivid natural color, brilliance, and durability.
Unlike many colored gemstones, tsavorite is typically untreated, so its extraordinary green color comes from the stone itself.
Is tsavorite suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, with appropriate care.
Tsavorite has a Mohs hardness of approximately 7–7.5 and is a durable choice for fine jewelry. As with any natural gemstone, I recommend removing the ring for activities where it may receive a hard impact.
Can it be made in white gold or 14k?
Because of the extensive hand-fused granulation used throughout the design, The Aurelia is produced in 18k yellow gold.
If you're looking for a similar architectural design in palladium white gold, platinum, or 14k gold, I can create a bespoke version using alternative construction methods while preserving the overall character of the piece.
Are the granules individually made and applied?
Yes.
The granules are formed from gold and individually positioned before being fused to the ring. They aren't a cast texture or decorative pattern molded into the surface.
The slight variation inherent in the process is part of what distinguishes handmade granulation from mechanically reproduced detail.
How long does it take to make?
As each ring is individually handcrafted, please allow approximately 6–8 weeks from design approval, depending on gemstone sourcing and workshop schedule.
Will I see my ring being made?
Yes.
Every Rings by NK commission includes progress photographs throughout the build, together with a complimentary proof-of-build video documenting the creation of your ring.
Designed to be discovered from every angle.
The Pink Tourmaline Oculus was designed around a 3.97ct natural pink tourmaline, fancy-cut into a distinctive pear shape and set within a substantial architectural form.
From above, the tourmaline is held within a polished bezel and framed by a broad, rounded collar of 18k yellow gold. Fine rows of granulation trace the outer setting before flowing onto the shoulders and along both edges of the satin-finished band.
Around the sides, the ring becomes more intricate. Granulated borders rise toward the center stone, while individually arranged rosettes appear across the sculptural under-gallery. Beneath the tourmaline, a quatrefoil oculus creates a hidden view into the stone—allowing its color and light to be seen from an entirely different perspective.
There is no single front to this ring. Its details continue wherever you look.
Why you’ll notice this ring twice
From across the room, it’s the color.
The 3.97ct natural pink tourmaline moves between blush pink, rose and soft violet as it catches the light. Its pear-shaped fancy cut gives the stone a strong visual direction, while the substantial 18k yellow gold setting surrounds it with warmth and presence.
Look closer and the smaller details begin to emerge.
The smooth, high-polished bezel contrasts with a broad field of satin-finished gold. Fine rows of hand-fused granulation follow the contours of the setting and continue along the edges of the band. Small granulated rosettes appear across the under-gallery, becoming visible as the ring turns on the hand.
Then there is the underside.
A quatrefoil oculus beneath the center stone reveals a glimpse of the tourmaline from below. Rather than treating the underside as somewhere the design stops, it becomes one of the ring’s most intimate details—visible primarily to the person wearing it.
It is a ring made to reward curiosity.
Handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques
Every Rings by Nathan King piece is individually handcrafted rather than mass-produced.
The granulation is created by forming, positioning and fusing individual gold spheres to the surface without visible solder. This technique dates back more than 2,500 years to the Etruscans and remains one of the most demanding forms of decorative goldsmithing.
Unlike decoration reproduced as part of a casting, true granulation is assembled granule by granule. Slight variations in placement and form are part of the character of the work and ensure that no two rings can ever be entirely identical.
On the Pink Tourmaline Oculus, granulation is used in several distinct ways. Continuous rows trace the borders of the band and frame the center setting. Larger granules create rhythm and emphasis as the shoulders rise toward the stone. Beneath the tourmaline, individual granules are arranged into small rosettes across the sculptural under-gallery.
The broad band is given a soft satin finish, allowing the polished granulation and bezel to catch the light against a quieter surface. The interior is polished for comfort, while every edge, granule, pierced opening and structural detail is finished individually by hand.
At 11.2 grams, this is a substantial ring with the weight and presence of a future heirloom—not simply an accessory, but a piece intended to be carried forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the exact ring I’ll receive?
This ring was individually handmade around its 3.97ct natural pink tourmaline.
If the original piece remains available, it is offered in a US size 7 and weighs 11.2 grams. If it has already been sold, a new interpretation can be created using a personally selected gemstone.
Because every natural gemstone has its own proportions, color and internal character, and because the granulation is applied individually by hand, no reproduction will ever be entirely identical to the original.
Can it be made in my ring size?
Yes.
Every ring is made specifically for the wearer and can be produced in virtually any finger size. The proportions and final gold weight may vary slightly depending on the required size and the dimensions of the selected center stone.
Can I choose a different gemstone?
Absolutely.
This design can be created around a range of colored gemstones, including tourmalines, garnets, sapphires, spinels and selected diamonds.
Rather than forcing a gemstone into a predetermined setting, the architecture of the ring is developed around the individual stone. The height, bezel, oculus and surrounding goldwork can therefore be adjusted to complement its precise shape and proportions.
Are pink tourmalines always the same color?
No.
Natural pink tourmalines can range from pale blush and delicate rose through to vivid pink, raspberry and pinkish violet. Some stones may also display more than one tone depending on the direction of the light.
This variation is part of the character of a natural gemstone. Where a ring is made to order, gemstone options can be presented for your approval before the ring is built.
What makes the underside of the ring different?
The underside is deliberately part of the design.
Rather than concealing the structure beneath the center stone, the Pink Tourmaline Oculus uses a sculptural under-gallery, granulated rosettes and a quatrefoil opening to create an additional view of the gemstone.
The oculus allows light and color to be seen through the underside of the tourmaline while introducing a hidden architectural detail intended primarily for the wearer.
Are the small gold details individually made?
Yes.
Every granule is individually formed, positioned and fused to the gold surface. The fine borders are assembled one granule at a time, while the small rosettes beneath the setting are constructed from individual spheres rather than cast as a single decorative element.
This is what gives genuine granulation its depth, variation and unmistakably handmade character.
Can it be made in white gold or 14k?
Because of the extensive hand-fused granulation used throughout this design, the Pink Tourmaline Oculus is produced in 18k yellow gold.
The alloy and working characteristics of 18k yellow gold are particularly suited to this traditional granulation process. A bespoke interpretation may be created in another precious metal using alternative construction and decorative methods while preserving the architectural character of the original ring.
Is pink tourmaline suitable for everyday wear?
Pink tourmaline is suitable for jewelry, but like all natural gemstones it should be protected from hard impacts, abrasive surfaces and sudden temperature changes.
The stone is secured within a protective bezel setting, which offers greater coverage around its edge than an exposed claw setting. However, because of the scale of the gemstone and the sculptural nature of the ring, I would treat it as a statement piece rather than wear it during heavy manual activity, exercise or household work.
How should I care for the ring?
Clean the ring gently using warm water, mild soap and a very soft brush. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaning unless the gemstone has first been professionally assessed.
The ring should be stored separately from other jewelry to protect both the tourmaline and the hand-finished gold surfaces. Rings by Nathan King also offers a complimentary clean and inspection 12 months after delivery.
How long does it take to make?
As each ring is individually handcrafted, please allow approximately 6–8 weeks from design and gemstone approval.
The exact timeframe will depend on gemstone sourcing, material availability and the current workshop schedule. Progress photographs are provided throughout the creation of the ring.
Will I see my ring being made?
Yes.
Every Rings by Nathan King commission includes progress photographs throughout the build, together with a complimentary proof-of-build video documenting the creation of your ring.
This provides a permanent record of how your piece was made—from the first stages of construction through to granulation, setting and final finishing.
A wedding band inspired by one of the Philippines' enduring symbols.
The Philippine Sun Band brings together one of the nation's most enduring symbols with the signature granulation of Rings by NK. It is designed for someone who wants a wedding band that carries meaning as well as craftsmanship.
The sun is formed from individually made and hand-fused 18k gold granules, creating a sculptural motif that catches the light with remarkable depth and warmth. Opposite, a single 2.5 mm laboratory-grown diamond provides a contemporary counterpoint. Together, they represent heritage and the moments that shape our lives.
Hidden beneath the diamond is a sculpted oculus, visible only when the ring is turned over. Created for the viewing pleasure of its owner, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts seen by others.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the Philippine Sun Band is designed as an heirloom, celebrating both traditional goldsmithing and the enduring stories carried by the people who wear it.
Why it's different
Many symbolic wedding bands rely on engraving or surface decoration.
The Philippine Sun Band is built through traditional goldsmithing.
Each ring is individually handcrafted from solid 18k gold, with every granule formed and fused by hand to build the sun itself. Rather than engraving the symbol into the surface, it is constructed as a three-dimensional form, giving it depth, texture and an unmistakably handcrafted character.
Balanced by the single diamond and hidden oculus, the design celebrates both symbolism and craftsmanship in equal measure.
Specifications
Metal: Handcrafted solid 18k yellow gold
Approximate gold weight: 12.6 grams
Centre diamond: 2.5 mm round laboratory-grown VS F diamond
Ring size shown: Size 8.5
Construction: Individually handcrafted
Signature details: Hand-built Philippine Sun in 18k gold granulation and a sculpted oculus beneath the diamond
Price:₱245,000 (includes the diamond)
Made for you
Every Philippine Sun Band is made to order.
The design can be commissioned in different ring sizes and proportions while preserving the character of the original piece. Alternative diamonds or colored gemstones can also be incorporated by request.
Frequently asked questions
Can this ring be made in a different size?
Yes. Every Philippine Sun Band is individually handcrafted and made to your required ring size.
Can the center stone be changed?
Yes. The ring can be commissioned with a different diamond or a colored gemstone while maintaining the balance of the design.
Why is this ring more substantial than a traditional wedding band?
Its generous proportions provide the strength required for the diamond setting while giving the granulated sun the presence it deserves.
Does the displayed price include the diamond?
Yes. The displayed price of ₱245,000 includes the 2.5 mm laboratory-grown diamond together with the handcrafted solid 18k gold ring.
Is this ring available in 14k or white gold?
No. This design relies on extensive fused granulation, a technique that is only suitable for solid 18k yellow gold. Changing the gold would require changing the construction and character of the ring.
Designed to be seen from every angle.
The Oculus was designed around a 3.8ct natural garnet, set within a broad oval form that gives the stone presence without allowing it to dominate the entire piece.
From above, the garnet sits within a polished bezel surrounded by individually arranged granulated rosettes. Around the sides, the structure opens up. Pierced details, curved supports, and rows of granulation continue beneath the center setting and around the band.
There is no single front to this ring. The details continue wherever you look.
Why you'll notice this ring twice
From across the room, it's the stone.
The 3.8ct garnet sits at the center of a substantial 18k yellow gold setting, its rich color framed by polished gold.
Look closer and the smaller details begin to emerge.
Clusters of hand-fused granules form tiny rosettes across the upper surface. Fine rows of granulation trace the edges of the band. Beneath the stone, pierced openings and hidden details transform the underside of the ring into part of the design rather than somewhere the design stops.
It's a ring made to reward curiosity.
Handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques
Every Rings by NK piece is individually handcrafted rather than mass produced.
The granulation is created by fusing individual gold spheres to the surface without visible solder, a technique dating back more than 2,500 years to the Etruscans. It remains one of the most demanding processes in jewelry making and creates detail that cannot simply be reproduced through casting.
On The Oculus, individual granules are arranged both in continuous borders and small floral clusters across the setting.
Each granule, surface, pierced detail, and setting is finished individually by hand.
The result is a piece intended to become an heirloom rather than simply an accessory.
Specifications
Metal: Handcrafted 18k yellow gold
Center Stone: 3.8ct natural Tanga garnet
Setting: Hand-fabricated bezel setting with pierced under-gallery
Detailing: Hand-fused granulation, including granulated rosettes and edge detailing
Finish: High-polish gold with contrasting hand-finished details
Each ring is made to order and can be tailored to your finger size and preferred gemstone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the exact ring I'll receive?
Each Oculus is individually handmade. While the overall design remains true to the original, every piece will have subtle characteristics that make it uniquely yours.
Can it be made in my ring size?
Yes. Every ring is made specifically for the wearer and can be produced in virtually any finger size.
Can I choose a different gemstone?
Absolutely.
The Oculus can be designed around a range of colored gemstones, including garnets, sapphires, spinels, tourmalines, and selected diamonds.
Because the proportions of the setting are built around the center stone, the design can be adjusted to suit the individual gemstone rather than forcing the stone into a predetermined setting.
What makes the underside of the ring different?
The underside is deliberately part of the design.
Rather than hiding the structure beneath the center stone, The Oculus uses pierced openings, granulated borders, and sculptural supports to create detail that can only be discovered when the ring is viewed from another angle.
Are the small gold details individually made?
Yes.
The granules are individually formed, positioned, and fused to the gold surface. The small rosettes surrounding the center stone are constructed from individual granules rather than being cast as a single decorative element.
Can it be made in white gold or 14k?
Because of the extensive hand-fused granulation used throughout the design, The Oculus is produced in 18k yellow gold.
A bespoke interpretation can be created in other precious metals using alternative construction methods while preserving the overall character of the ring.
Is garnet suitable for everyday wear?
Garnet is a durable gemstone suitable for jewelry, but like all natural stones it should be protected from hard impacts and abrasive wear.
For a ring of this scale, I would treat it as a statement piece rather than something worn during heavy manual activity.
How long does it take to make?
As each ring is individually handcrafted, please allow approximately 6–8 weeks from design approval, depending on gemstone sourcing and workshop schedule.

A collector's ring designed around an exceptional natural gemstone.
Part of the Rings by NK Collector Series, this ring is built around a natural mint tourmaline, selected for its fresh, luminous colour and remarkable clarity. Every element of the design exists to celebrate the beauty of the stone while showcasing the craftsmanship surrounding it.
A distinctive triple-band construction forms the foundation of the ring, with a broad center band framed by two outer bands. Individually formed and hand-fused gold granules run along the outer edges, while a finer granulated pattern rises around the setting, drawing the eye naturally toward the mint tourmaline. Beneath the setting, the granulation continues, and the open gallery allows an uninterrupted view of the gemstone from below, inviting light into the stone from every direction.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, it is a collector's piece designed to be admired from every angle.
Why it's different
Every Collector Series ring begins with an exceptional gemstone.
The design is developed specifically for the individual stone, rather than selecting a gemstone to fit a standard setting. Every granule is individually formed and fused by hand, creating texture and detail that cannot be replicated through casting.

A collector's engagement ring created to celebrate an extraordinary natural gemstone.
Part of the Rings by NK Collector Series, the Pink Sapphire Halo Ring was designed as an ultimate bridal piece. At its heart is a natural pink sapphire, surrounded by a halo of brilliant diamonds that enhance its color while allowing the sapphire to remain the unmistakable focal point.
The center stone is framed by individually formed and hand-fused gold granules around the bezel, with a second ring of granulation surrounding the diamond halo. A broad, softly curved band carries continuous granulation along both edges, bringing the design together with the signature craftsmanship of Rings by NK.
Hidden beneath the sapphire is the signature oculus, visible only when the ring is turned over. Created for the viewing pleasure of its owner, it reflects the belief that every part of the ring deserves the same attention—not only the parts seen by others.
Why it's different
Every Collector Series ring begins with an exceptional gemstone.
The design is developed around the individual sapphire, with every granule individually formed and fused by hand to complement the stone rather than compete with it.

Inspired by architecture. Built by hand.
Some designs begin with a gemstone. Others begin with a story.
The Colosseum was inspired by one of the greatest surviving structures of the ancient world. Rising in a series of architectural steps toward a deep blue natural spinel, the ring echoes the rhythm of Rome's most iconic amphitheatre. Beneath the bezel, a gallery of arches supports the stone, allowing light to enter while revealing details that are only discovered on closer inspection.
Like the building that inspired it, every element has a purpose.
Why you'll notice this ring twice
From across a room, the vivid blue spinel immediately draws your attention.
Look closer and the architecture begins to reveal itself.
The stepped shoulders lead your eye toward the centre, while hand-fused granulation traces the edges like decorative stonework. Beneath the setting, the open gallery becomes the heart of the design, rewarding anyone curious enough to look underneath.
It's a ring designed to be admired from every angle—not just from above.
Handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques
Every Rings by NK piece is individually handcrafted rather than mass produced.
The granulation is created by fusing hundreds of tiny gold spheres to the surface without visible solder, a technique dating back more than 2,500 years to the Etruscans. It remains one of the most demanding processes in jewellery making and gives the ring a level of detail that cannot be replicated through casting alone.
The result is a piece intended to become an heirloom rather than simply an accessory.
Specifications
Metal: Handcrafted 18k yellow gold
Centre Stone: 2.15ct Natural blue spinel (pictured) Certified AIGS GF25041132

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the exact ring I'll receive?
Each Colosseum ring is individually handmade. While the architectural design remains true to the original, every piece will have subtle characteristics that make it uniquely yours.
Can it be made in my ring size?
Yes. Every ring is made specifically for the wearer and can be produced in virtually any finger size.
Can I choose a different gemstone?
Absolutely.
The design works beautifully with sapphires, spinels, tourmalines and selected diamonds. During the design process we'll discuss colour, size and budget before sourcing your centre stone.
Can it be made in white gold or 14k?
Because of the extensive hand-fused granulation used throughout the design, The Colosseum is produced in 18k yellow gold.
If you're looking for a similar architectural design in palladium white gold, platinum or 14k gold, I can create a bespoke version using alternative construction methods while preserving the overall character of the piece.
Is the gallery purely decorative?
No.
The arched gallery serves both structural and aesthetic purposes. It supports the bezel, allows light to enter beneath the stone, reduces unnecessary weight, and is a direct reference to the Roman Colosseum that inspired the design.
Is blue spinel suitable for everyday wear?
Yes.
Natural spinel is an excellent choice for an engagement or statement ring. It offers exceptional brilliance, excellent toughness and is resistant to everyday wear, making it one of my favourite coloured gemstones.
How long does it take to make?
As each ring is individually handcrafted, please allow approximately 6–8 weeks from design approval, depending on gemstone sourcing and workshop schedule.
Will I see my ring being made?
Yes.

Three remarkable garnets in a bold architectural composition
Part of the Rings by NK Collector Series, this one-of-a-kind ring is built around a natural 2.99-carat Umbalite garnet, framed by two natural Malay garnets.
The three cushion-cut stones move from the deep magenta and wine tones of the central Umbalite to the softer rose-pink color of the Malay garnets. Each is individually bezel-set within a substantial, sculptural arrangement of solid 18k yellow gold.
Hand-applied granulation traces the central setting, travels along the band and rises across the stepped sides in organic clusters—introducing movement and intricate detail to the ring’s strong architectural form.
Individually handcrafted in solid 18k yellow gold, this is a collector’s piece designed to command attention from every angle and endure for generations.
Why it’s different

A one-of-one collector's piece inspired by the hidden landscapes within Australian opal.
Every natural opal tells a different story.
The Monolith was created around an exceptional untreated black matrix opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia. Viewed from one angle the stone appears almost black. Turn it towards the light and vivid flashes of green, blue, orange and red emerge from deep within the stone. No two opals display the same pattern, making this ring impossible to reproduce.
Built entirely by hand in 18k yellow gold, The Monolith was designed as a sculptural collector's piece rather than a conventional dress ring.
Designed to reveal more over time
The broad bezel frames the opal like a work of art, while hand-fused granulated flowers soften the architecture and create contrast against the polished gold.
Beneath the stone, a vaulted gallery of individually fabricated ribs supports the setting, allowing light to enter the opal while revealing an entirely different perspective when the ring is turned over.
Every surface has been considered.
Every angle tells a different story.
Handmade using traditional goldsmithing techniques
The Monolith was individually fabricated over more than a week using traditional goldsmithing methods.
The ring is constructed entirely from 18k yellow gold and features hand-fused granulation inspired by the techniques developed by the Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago.
Hidden beneath the opal is a field of natural accent diamonds, incorporated as a subtle textural detail within the gallery. They are intended as an architectural element of the design rather than feature diamonds.
No casting.
No mass production.
Only one exists.
Specifications
Metal: Handcrafted 18k yellow gold
Centre Stone: Natural untreated Lightning Ridge black matrix opal
Accent Stones: Decorative accent diamonds beneath the setting
Ring Weight: 18.97 grams
Ring Shown: Size 13.5
Construction: Entirely hand fabricated with hand-fused granulation
Availability: One-of-one
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ring one of a kind?
Yes.
The Monolith was created around a single natural Australian black matrix opal. Because no two opals display the same pattern or colour, this exact ring can never be reproduced.
Can this design be recreated?
The architectural concept can inspire a bespoke commission, however the original ring will remain unique.
Each future commission would be designed around a different gemstone and developed as its own individual work.
Is the opal natural?
Yes.
The centre stone is a natural untreated black matrix opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia. Independent gemological certification can be arranged for a purchaser if required.
Is this suitable for everyday wear?
Although the ring has been engineered with a substantial hand-fabricated structure, opal is softer than sapphire, spinel or diamond.
For that reason, The Monolith is best considered a collector's piece or statement ring rather than an everyday engagement ring.
Why is the underside of the ring so detailed?
The underside is not hidden construction.
The vaulted gallery forms part of the design philosophy behind the ring. Light enters beneath the opal to enhance its play of colour, while the architectural framework ensures the piece is as rewarding to examine underneath as it is from above.
