18Karat is a family-run goldsmith's and jewellery shop that has been located in Toronto's downtown core for over 40 years.

Dino Giannetti, our master goldsmith, has accumulated shelves upon shelves of hand-carved waxes created over the last four decades. To celebrate our history, we decided to … recast some of our favorite pieces from each decade - starting in the 1960's.

The Wave - the 1990's, a decade saw great technical advancements in jewellery making (including casting, alloys, and laser welding) and a revival in classical design influences - the contemporary and the streamlined merged with romantic and traditional aesthetics.

This ring, originally cast in 18k white gold, has been recast in sterling silver with a small accent pearl. This ring can be recreated in 18k white or yellow gold with any number of faceted or cabochon gemstones.
