Formés' bestselling Becoming ring (also known as the MAMA ring) has quickly become a cult favourite. Seen on the coolest mums in Copenhagen, it’s crafted from solid recycled gold and set with a single ethically sourced natural diamond. While designed as a celebration of motherhood, it has also become a meaningful way to mark milestones of all kinds – whether chosen as a thoughtful gift or a forever piece for yourself.
It’s no wonder Rosanne Karmes’ fine jewellery atelier, Sydney Evan, has garnered such a loyal following. Beloved at New York’s Bergdorf Goodman and worn by icons like Kate Moss, Rihanna and Gwyneth Paltrow, the Los Angeles–based brand is synonymous with sentiment and sparkle. Its “love” pieces are especially coveted, and this ring is no exception: twinkling pavé diamonds trace the word in Karmes’ signature cursive script atop a polished 14k gold band – a bold yet thoughtful token for someone special, or for yourself.
Since its founding in 2013 by Mona Jensen, Norwegian jewellery label Tom Wood has captivated collectors with its distinctly understated, graphic and contemporary designs. The Split Ring reimagines the classic band with a sculptural sensibility, its allure lying in the satin finish and the discreet white diamonds handset at each end.
Since its successful foray into jewellery in 2023, Swedish staple Toteme has quickly carved out a place in the fine jewellery arena. The 18k gold Cigar Ring, introduced in its debut collection, carries perennial appeal with ample stacking potential. Handcrafted in Arezzo, Italy, the wide recycled-gold band is flush-set with a brilliant-cut diamond – a timeless piece destined to become a fixture in any jewellery box.
Also crafted in Italian ateliers, Sophie Bille Brahe’s Ensemble de Ciel ring makes a compelling case for moving beyond classic shapes in favour of more sculptural designs. Inspired by the fluidity of a wave, it catches the light with ease, its surface set with graduated round diamonds in delicate bezel settings.
Sometimes you just can't beat an elegant, timeless gold ring. For a top-tier embodiment of this ideal look no further than Swiss luxury watch and fine jewellery group Bucherer, which has honed their jewellery-making mastery since 1888 and show no signs of waning. Its Inner fire yellow gold wrap ring boasts a beautiful finish and is complemented by a stunning pear cut white diamond.
Slim and sleek, the androgynous Curve ring designed by Danish fine jewellery house Dulong strives to stand the test of time. Constructed by a team of talented goldsmiths in their Copenhagen workshop, its hand-filed, fluted surface draws inspiration from natural beauty and Scandinavian sunlight. Though it can be purposed as a wedding or engagement band, it is equally adaptable for quotidian wearing.
Last but certainly not least we have Messika's meticulously melded, well-priced and refined Uno ring. The Parisian jewellery maison's creations, with their archetypal unique diamond formation, have been seen on celebrities ranging from Beyoncé to Gigi Hadid. The Uno ring's qualities include an 18K yellow gold band, a centrepiece replete with clustered pavé diamonds and a large gleaming decentered diamond. It acts as crucial part of Messika's sought-after Move collection, and is also available in alternate pink and white gold iterations, what's not to love?
