Crafted in 14K white gold, this Croft & Stern original design features a 4.99ct prong-set fantasy-cut sky blue topaz cut by Alexander Kreis. Accenting the topaz are 15=0.24ctw prong-set earth-mined round brilliant cut diamonds. This ring is made in finger size 7 and finished in a bright polish.
Collector’s Note: Alexander Kreis-Cut Gem
When a gemstone is cut by Alexander Kreis, you’re not just buying a stone—you’re acquiring precision engineering and artistic intention. Known for his sculptural faceting and bold geometry, Kreis approaches cutting with a designer’s eye and a technician’s discipline. His work captures and directs light in a controlled, architectural way—no random sparkle, just clean, deliberate reflections that highlight the stone’s natural color and depth. Kreis cuts aren’t mass-produced; they’re individually evaluated and executed to suit the specific rough, which means each gem is effectively one-of-a-kind. Collectors pursue his pieces because they represent the highest tier of modern faceting: artistry, technical mastery, and the kind of refinement that survives every trend.
