Grai 2.0
This delicate ring features 7 Salt and pepper diamonds, in tapering size order. It is a one of a kind and available in 18kt Yellow Gold, size 4.5. It can be resized on request. This ring has been priced incredibly low to make room for new stock.
So what are Salt and Pepper Diamonds?
The wilder cousin to the conventional diamond, these bask in all the glory of having everything that the “ideal diamond” does NOT, and in doing so they have so much more personality. Containing their own carbon galaxies and in that the history of a billion years - the journey each single stone took to get to your finger - now that is extraordinary.
No two are ever the same, containing unique inclusions like white flecks, black carbon spots (my favorite), feathering, fault lines, carbon clouds, or chips, and these can come in all shapes and sizes.
A salt and pepper diamond is one that is dappled with a mix of these white and black inclusions, cut rough and raw without discrimination, to give you this bold, strong-willed and extraordinary stone, layered with visible complexity and quite literally an “inner beauty” that is utterly unique to that stone.
Here you see a series of five rose cut grey diamonds, tapered in size and paired in shade to create this balanced, contemporary, eye-catching piece. Photo's truly don't do justice to how much these beauties sparkle.
Rebel set on a smooth, dainty 18kt Yellow Gold band, leaving the edges of the stone exposed to capture and refract the light into the magical intricate lattices within them.
Using certified CONFLICT FREE diamonds. I work closely with a remarkable supplier here in New York that supplies only certified diamonds and deals only in rough stones that comply with the UN Kimberley initiative.
Can be resized. Hand made in NYC. Feel free to contact me at Jayne@ternyc.com for custom orders and resize enquires.

18k Royal Yellow -
Our 18k Royal Yellow is the perfect blend of yellow Gold’s with a warmer hue - less green than some - which is extremely beautiful - rich and refined - on all skin tones.
18k Rose Gold -
Our 18k Rose Gold is the result of an infusion of copper and a touch of silver into our Gold, giving it that warm, rich, earthy quality that makes Rose Gold such a beautiful metal. The silver paling it from the otherwise ‘red gold’, the copper adding a blush. The result is what we call our “dusty rose”. Indeed this just might be our all-time favourite metal blend.
Our Signature 10k Gold -
Our signature 10k Yellow Gold is an unsung hero. An underestimated Gold, this is a beautiful, very strong, pale and creamy gold that shines brilliantly and pops against all skin tones - being naturally less yellow and brassy than the typical 18-24kt Golds.
As the flashy "Kardashian culture" evolved, the higher karat golds became more coveted, but time and time again it's my 10 karat pieces that people notice and fall in love with. It's a beautiful fine metal, strong, classy and unpretentious. We're bringing it back!
Platinum -
Platinum is a white metal, but unlike gold it is much stronger, and therefore used in jewelry in almost a pure form (approximately 95% pure).
Platinum is extremely long wearing and is less grey than the mislabeled white gold, so it does not need to be Rhodium plated like white gold does.
Platinum is very dense (heavy), so a platinum ring will feel heavier than an 18kt gold ring.
White Gold -
We do do white gold on occasion, but are less fickle about the karat. White gold is actually a grey metal, and is almost always Rhodium plated to appear more white. For this reason, we tend to use 14kt White Gold as it is strong and durable.
Ring size is very specific to each individual, so I highly recommend you print out our Ring Sizer for guidance - it is VITAL that you print it out at 100% scale on your printer. Some printers automatically adjust the scale settings, so please be diligent when checking.
The thicker the band, the more snuggly it will fit, so I recommend you size up half a size for anything north of a 5mm wide band.
