NEW DELHI – An elaborate floral-shaped ring sporting 12,638 tiny diamonds has earned a place in Guinness World Records, but its Indian creator has no plans to sell his priceless design at the moment.
Called “The Calendula – The Ring of Prosperity,” the thick circular band weighs just over 165 grams (5.8 ounces).
“It is wearable and comfortable,” said Harshit Bansal, 25, who described his bold creation as a dream project.
Bansal said he got the idea two years ago while studying jewelry design in the western city of Surat, India’s diamond hub.
“My goal was always more than 10,000 diamonds. I destroyed many designs and concepts over the years to finally focus on this, “Bansal told AFP.
In a statement, his company said that each tiny petal in the ring’s eight-layer floral design was unique.
Bansal said it had already turned down applications from potential buyers.
“We have no plans to sell it at this time,” he said. “It is a matter of pride for us. Priceless.”
The previous record set by Guinness, also set in India, was for a ring containing 7,801 diamonds.
