Venus is a made-to-order ring set hand-carved sculpture made of 14k yellow gold, lab-grown marquise diamond, and a halo of natural diamonds. Venus is a goddess whose aura embodies love, beauty, prosperity, creation, and wealth.

To purchase the finished ring in the photos, see the ready to ship listing here.

That's Venus, September thought. She was the goddess of love. It's nice that love comes on first thing in the evening, and goes out last in the morning. Love keeps the light on all night.―Catherynne M. Valente

Please note: While every effort is made to photograph the items to be an accurate representation, photography and computer monitors have limitations and differences. These images were taken with a Canon DSLR and macro lens (this shows much more detail than the eye can see). Colors and brightness may vary on different devices. I believe these pieces look so much prettier in person when held in the hand and admired by the eye (I've also been told this many times by Knot & Splice customers). I hope you're delighted when you receive your special piece.
