The Inspiration : Statement Sophistication

This is confidence, captured in gold.

With bold geometry and architectural poise, this design was conceived as a declaration — not just of love, but of individuality. Its strong silhouette is unmistakably Rudolf Heltzel: sculptural, intentional, and grounded in a legacy of refined craftsmanship.

The Design : Structure with Presence

At the centre, a brilliant-cut diamond is cradled by eight refined claws — lifted just above the band to catch and reflect the light with clarity and depth. The elevated setting creates a powerful focal point, while the flat 18ct gold band anchors the composition with elegant restraint.

Whether chosen as a modern engagement ring or a personal statement piece, the balanced proportions are quietly commanding.

The Craftsmanship : Where Geometry Becomes Gesture

Every angle of this ring is shaped by hand in our Kilkenny atelier. The 8-claw structure requires absolute precision to align, creating a setting that is both sculptural and secure.

Each piece is made to order with your preferred gemstone. The artistry lies not only in the execution, but in the ability to honour the individuality of each wearer.

The Experience : Commanding Yet Comfortable

Despite its striking form, the ring wears with ease. The elevated diamond sits proudly while remaining well-balanced on the hand. Its contemporary flat profile makes it ideal for pairing with a wedding band or wearing as a solo centrepiece.

Perfect for those who appreciate beauty with substance and form with intention.

The Legacy : Confidant and Considered

This setting is a Rudolf Heltzel hallmark — one of strength, proportion, and control. Developed over decades, it represents our philosophy: that boldness and elegance can coexist when design is rooted in precision.
