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 Marigold – The Ring Of Prosperity, the thick circular band weighs just over 165g.
“It’s portable and comfortable,” said Harshit Bansal, 25, who described his bold creation as a dream project.
He said he got the idea for the ring 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,” he said.
In a statement, his company said that each tiny petal in the ring’s eight-layer floral design is unique.
Bansal said it has 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. It is priceless.”
The previous record set by Guinness, also set in India, was for a ring containing 7,801 diamonds.
