Piece of the Week: Lorraine West’s Diamond ‘Open Heart’ Ring
Show some love on Valentine’s Day with this 14-karat yellow gold ring that features pavé diamonds.
Who’s your Valentine?
Maybe it’s a partner or even yourself!
Lorraine West Jewelry’s diamond “Open Heart” ring celebrates all kinds of love, curving 14-karat yellow gold into the shape of a heart and making it shine with round brilliant-cut pavé diamonds totaling 0.34 carats.
The piece was created to be worn as a daily reminder to pour love into yourself so you can have an overflow of love to share with others.
“Never leave home without your open heart, literally and figuratively,” said the brand.
West looked to bring the heart that she would draw in front of her signature on thank you cards for clients, friends, and family to life when crafting the design.
To date, it has become not only West’s personal favorite design to wear daily, but one of her brand’s bestselling and signature pieces.
