For those people who seen the movie Lust, Caution. This is the ring.The ring itself comprises of two circles of diamonds that hug a large pink diamond in the centre. Indeed, the Chinese title of the movie is also a homonym for ‘coloured ring’. For full authenticity, the stones of the ring are also set in the same way as they would be during that era.

Hm. I hate to be the only one to disagree...the diamond is unbelievably gorgeous, but if I was ever lucky enough to receive it, I''d be setting that thing into a way less honking setting, asap. It totally overwhelms that diamond, IMHO.

It is gorgeous but I have to agree that it does not look like a pink diamond.

Well in these pictures the thing that makes me wonder is the tilt window that the pink center stone has. Diamonds usually do not get that since they have a higher RI than sapphires. Sapphires and other gemstones suffer from tilt windows.

It doesn''t look like a pink diamond to me either. It looks like it has a large window in the middle of it.

My thoughts exactly. Love the stone, but the setting has got to go!

I agree.. at the first glance I did think it was a pink sapphire.. perhaps this is a sapphire decoy?

Yes, it does look like a pink sapphire but in the movie they mention that it is a pink diamond.. The ring is now in Singapore Cartier.. Maybe I will swing by and ask them.. And I have to admit that I did not like the setting the first time I saw it, but it kinda grows on me.. I forget to mention that Director Ang Lee specially asked Cartier to design and create the ring. In order to be faithful to the movie’s setting in 1930s Shanghai, Cartier examined its historical archives for custom pieces of that era, and recreated this ‘colonial-style’ design.

I don''t know how to describe it but when you compare a pink sapphire with a pink diamond side by side. The pink diamond usually has more light, reflection and sparkle.. My jeweler actually showed me the difference.
