If you’re in the market for one-of-a-kind jewelry, take note: An all-diamond ring will be auctioned by Sotheby’s next month.<\/p>\n

\nDesigned by Jony Ive, Apple’s chief design officer, and industrial designer
\nMarc Newson<\/a>, the bespoke one-piece ring is cut from a large diamond and does away with the metal band and settings used in normal rings.\n<\/div>\n

The diamond has 2,000-3,000 facets, a number that Sotheby’s says has never been seen before in a single piece. <\/p>\n

It was cut using a micrometer-thick water jet and a laser beam by Diamond Foundry, a company that produces laboratory diamonds at a facility in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

The ring will be auctioned on December 5 in Miami, with the proceeds donated to (RED), a charity dedicated to fighting HIV\/AIDS, set up by singer Bono and activist Bobby Shriver.<\/p>\n

This is the latest collaboration between Ive and Newson. Their past projects include work for Apple, a one-off Leica camera and a Christmas tree for London hotel Claridge’s. <\/p>\n

The ring is expected to fetch $150,000-$250,000 at the (RED) auction, which will take place during the Art Basel and Design Miami fairs, and will be cut to fit the winning bidder.<\/p>\n
