18k gold, rose cut and raw diamonds





Twenty two years later, his raw diamonds are still considered to be among the most revolutionary design steps that the jewelry industry has taken.  Reed's collection continues to grow and evolve, as does his interest in and relationship with the material.







Todd Reed 
18k gold, rose cut and raw diamonds


 "I source ethically mined and socially responsible diamonds throughout the world. This has been a personal ethic for more than a decade before the phrase

conflict free diamonds entered the public awareness." In recent years, he has expanded upon his original raw cube designs with a collection of naturally colored diamonds fashioned into antique rose and old mine cuts.
