Oxidized Silver Champagne Diamond Cigar Ring "Gypsy"

Originally inspired by the paper rings wrapped around cigars in the 19th century, the cigar band evolved into one of fine jewelry's most enduring silhouettes: wide, confident, and impossible to overlook on the hand. Today it shows up with heirloom stones, on engagement fingers, and marking the kind of personal milestones that deserve something with real presence. 

Rene Escobar's take on the cigar band respects the classic while adding a contemporary flair. Across the darkened band run three rows of champagne diamonds; their warm, honeyed color catching light against the oxidized backdrop in a way that reads as quietly rich rather than overtly flashy. 

Rene Escobar is a third-generation goldsmith from Nicaragua, now based in Miami, whose commitment to handmade jewelry and original design runs deep enough to be considered a family inheritance. His work reflects the kind of technical fluency that comes from growing up around the craft, and this ring is a clear example of what that background produces: a piece that feels both considered and durable, designed for real wear rather than occasional appearances.
