The Georgian Loop 1 ct Diamond Ring is a signature piece from Jessica McCormack, embodying the perfect harmony between antique artistry and modern wearability. At its heart lies a 1-carat brilliant-cut diamond, cradled in McCormack’s iconic Georgian cut-down setting, a technique inspired by 18th-century craftsmanship.
Framed by two polished loops of warm 18k yellow gold against a contrasting white-gold collet, the ring reflects a timeless duality — romantic yet contemporary, ornate yet refined. The looping gold detail not only highlights the brilliance of the diamond but also creates a sculptural elegance that distinguishes the piece from traditional solitaires.
Designed to be worn every day yet worthy of life’s most extraordinary moments, the Georgian Loop ring captures Jessica McCormack’s ethos of “everyday diamonds”: luxury that feels intimate, personal, and effortlessly chic.
