The Calista Solitaire is a standout piece in our exclusive range, handcrafted in our Surrey studio and available only at Nude Jewellery. This design is all about the flow of the metal; the central pear-shaped gemstone is held in place by three stylised claws that have been meticulously sculpted to curve up directly from the ring shank. Rather than using a standard "add-on" setting, the claws are fully integrated into the band, creating a seamless, fluid look that makes the stone appear to rise naturally from the gold. This architectural silhouette is finished with a row of brilliant grain-set diamonds along the shank, adding a subtle sparkle that follows the curve of the finger.
The Art of the Integrated Setting
The Calista design focuses on clean lines and a bold, sculptural profile. By shaping the three claws as part of the ring shank itself, we’ve created a setting that is both incredibly secure and visually striking. This allows the pear-shaped stone to sit prominently, catching the light from all sides and showing off its full lustre. The grain-set diamonds are tucked neatly into the 18ct gold or platinum band, offering a refined texture that contrasts beautifully with the smooth, polished curves of the sculpted claws. It’s a modern take on the solitaire that feels substantial yet sophisticated.
Bespoke Commissions & The Nude Standard
Because the Calista is one of our own exclusive designs, it is the perfect starting point for a personal commission. If you have a specific pear-shaped sapphire or diamond in mind, or want to explore a particular metal combination, our bespoke design service allows you to work with us to create a one-of-a-kind version. Every Calista ring is made from recycled 18ct gold or platinum. To see which metal fits your style best, you can read our Gold vs Platinum Guide. As with all our work, each ring is independently hallmarked by a UK Assay Office to guarantee its quality and purity.
