THE INSPIRATION — Bold Statement

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 legacy.

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, the balance between tension and symmetry is 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 from Urban Mined 18ct gold — or, upon request, with your preferred gemstone and setting. 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 — A Master’s Claw, A Signature Form

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.
