Ring story · Modern

A composition in
diamonds and gold.

Band No. 17 by Maggi Simpkins is a V-shaped band set with a curated mix of pear, marquise, and round brilliant diamonds in 18k yellow gold. Part sculpture, part jewel — a considered arrangement of shapes that reads like a small work of art. A diamond band for a woman who sees the world through a maker’s eye.

Who she is

A ring for the woman who
sees in shapes.

She’s an artist — she notices form, balance, negative space, the way different shapes speak to each other. A plain row of identical stones would never quite satisfy that eye. Band No. 17 does: it’s a deliberate composition of pear, marquise, and round diamonds arranged along a V, like a small sculpture she gets to wear. It’s the kind of ring a maker recognises another maker in. If you’re searching for an “I love you” ring — an artful diamond band with a genuine designer’s sensibility — this speaks her language.

A curated mix of shapes along a V — not just a band, but a composition she gets to wear every day.

It’s made for the woman drawn to modern and architectural design — an artful, composed diamond band with a sculptural sensibility. With its curated mix of cuts and quiet originality, it’s a fitting choice for an artist, or anyone who values craftsmanship, composition, and a ring that feels like a piece of art.

What sets it apart

Three things that make it
special.

01

A curated mix of diamond cuts

Band No. 17 sets a considered blend of pear, marquise, and round brilliant-cut diamonds (0.67 carats total, G-H color, VS/SI clarity) along a distinctive V-shaped silhouette. The mix of shapes is the whole point — it’s a composition, not a repetition, giving the band real artistry and movement. For an eye trained on form, that curated arrangement is what makes it sing.

02

Artisan craftsmanship, ethically sourced

Maggi Simpkins is a celebrated artisan jeweler, and every detail of Band No. 17 reflects her meticulous, hands-on craftsmanship — with ethically sourced diamonds adding meaning to the beauty. This isn’t a mass-produced band; it’s a considered, artist-made object. For someone who makes things herself, that maker-to-maker quality resonates deeply.
03

Versatile 18k gold, worn her way

Crafted in rich 18k yellow gold and made in the USA, Band No. 17 is beautifully versatile — striking on its own as a statement, or stacked with other rings for a layered, personal look. That flexibility suits a creative spirit who likes to compose her own style. Elegant, modern, and understated all at once — heirloom-worthy in the best way.
The maker

About Maggi Simpkins.

Maggi Simpkins is a highly regarded artisan jeweler known for exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful, artful design — pieces that balance luxury, individuality, and real sculptural sensibility. Band No. 17 is a favorite for good reason: a small masterpiece of composition and craft, made with care and ethically sourced stones. It’s the kind of ring that tells a story and feels genuinely personal — one artist’s work, worn by another.

In real life

Artful, delicate, worn
with a maker’s care.

Honest notes for everyday wear: the diamonds are the hardest gem, so the stones themselves are wonderfully durable. A couple of honest things about this particular design: it’s a delicate 1.7mm band, and the mix includes pointed marquise and pear cuts, so like any fine diamond band it rewards a little everyday care — worth an occasional check that the stones stay snug, and best suited to a creative life rather than heavy, rough hands-on work. For an artist’s day-to-day it’s a lovely everyday-to-special piece; a gentle clean keeps the diamonds bright, and it layers beautifully with other rings. Artful, considered, and made to be treasured.
