Carmella evokes a sense of timeless grandness and luxury. The collection features architecturally stunning designs inspired by classic European structures and brilliant, vintage-inspired details, all crafted by hand. Carmella offers every spellbinding diamond shape imaginable, from round to emerald, most of them surrounded by brilliant halos and intricate hand-engravings. Here are a few of the designs we’re absolutely dying for!

This dazzling split-shank, halo engagement ring features 1 1/2 ctw of diamonds — not even counting the customized 2-carat center stone option! Each layer of decadent diamonds is bordered with our meticulously crafted, antique-inspired milgrain edging.

Pear-shaped diamonds are truly the epitome of vintage glamour. This breathtaking design features 5/8 ctw of diamonds: a gorgeous, sparkling halo around the stunning pear-shaped setting, which sits on a platform of diamonds and our signature filigree design so it’s awe-inspiring from every angle.
