George & Ida
Bespoke Creation
George and Ida are a wonderful couple who have been loyal supporters of Wild Cut Designs since its inception. Recently, Ida reached out to Carina with a special request—a diamond from the exclusive Argyle Diamond Mine in Western Australia.
With the closure of the Argyle Diamond Mine in 2020, there has been a growing interest in owning a piece of Australian history. The mine was renowned for producing about 90% of the world's champagne (brown) diamonds, making this a rare and meaningful investment. George and Ida saw this as a perfect opportunity to add something special, rare, and unique to their jewellery collection.
While working with Carina, they decided the 2.00ct champagne diamond should be the centrepiece of the ring, so they opted for a timeless three-stone design. This classic style ensures the ring will never go out of fashion and will be cherished for a lifetime.
