The sovereign diamond ring is TJ Diamond's most singular creation: a genuine British Sovereign coin — struck in 22ct gold and minted since 1817 — set within a yellow gold frame and complemented by D-F colour, VVS-VS clarity diamonds, and handcrafted to your specification in our Auckland studio. It is a ring that carries not just the craft of a fine jeweller, but the actual history and gold content of a real coin that has circulated as legal tender, been held in hands across two centuries, and carries a gold value independent of any setting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is not a coin-style ring.

First minted in 1817 under King George III, the sovereign has been produced with the portrait of every British monarch since, making it simultaneously a collectible numismatic piece and a gold bullion investment. Every genuine full sovereign is struck in 22ct gold — a purity significantly higher than 18ct jewellery-grade gold — and weighs approximately 7.98 grams, of which 7.32 grams is pure gold. A half sovereign is the same fineness at half the weight, containing approximately 3.66 grams of pure gold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen TJ Diamond mounts a sovereign into a ring, the coin's gold content, minting history, and numismatic identity remain entirely intact.
