Australia lost a luminary of the jewellery industry on 6 December when Peter Beck passed away. While the word ‘legend’ is bandied around all too often these days, in Peter’s case it is more than fitting.

FINALIST, DIAMOND GUILD AUSTRALIA JEWELLERY AWARDS 2018
This beautiful platinum and rose gold, pear-shaped pink and white diamond ring, named ‘Autumn’, was created for Rohan Jewellers. The pink diamond is set in rose gold, with the surrounding white, pear and marquise-cut diamonds claw-set in platinum. The design includes contrasting, grain-set split shoulders on one side and flowing, ‘rubbed in’ diamonds on the opposite side. A finely pierced-out design features inside the top of the ring. It is an amazing looking ring!
