This week’s triumphant stack is like a laurel wreath, adorning the head of champions of antiquity. The leaves of the noble bay laurel are rendered in an 18k gold crown-shaped nesting band by Sarah Swell Jewelry, each leaf dotted with a gleaming white diamond. A classically beautiful three-diamond ring from TAP by Todd Pownell bears blackened gold prongs like marks of honor. Finally, Lauren Wolf’s 2.3ct dark salt and pepper diamond, shaped like a kite in the wind, rises above the competition as master, laureate, victor.
