Indian jeweller sets world record for making ring with 12,638 diamonds

A 25-year-old jeweller Harshit Bansal based in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, has earned a place in the Guinness World Records for ‘the most diamonds set in a ring’. The ring has 12,638 pure diamonds encrusted in it. Renani Jewels achieved the title for the ring named ‘THE MARIGOLD – The ring of prosperity’ formed within the type of a marigold flower. It was a “dream mission” of Renani Jewels’ managing director Harshit Bansal.

Called “The Marigold – The Ring of Prosperity,” the chunky circular band weighs a little over 165 grams (5.8 ounces). Bansal said he got the idea two years ago while studying jewelry design in the western city of Surat, India’s diamond hub.

Bansal said, “My target was always more than 10,000 diamonds. I trashed many designs and concepts over the years to finally zero in on this.” Bansal who owns Meerut’s Renani Jewels, further added that he always aimed at making customised jewellery and this design was a challenge of sorts. “The work on the ring started in 2018 and it was completed by February 2020,” he said.
