Description
The Cash Clip Diamond it is the high-end version of the line: BA steel, 18 kt yellow gold, 24-karat gold inlays, kt, hand-engraved e two natural diamonds yes 0.66 carats.
BA steel
A money clip works under bending stress: it opens and closes every time it is used, and it has to return exactly to where it was. Pure gold wouldn’t do that—at that thickness it would deform after just a few openings and stay open. Steel has the necessary elastic memory, and that is why it forms the structure.
Gold goes where it is seen and not where it bends: it is a division of roles dictated by the mechanics of the piece, not by aesthetics.
The 24-karat gold inlays kt
24 kt gold is pure, unalloyed gold: it is soft and cannot be used for construction, but it is the only type that produces that rich yellow color. Here, it is set into a groove that is hand-engraved and hammered so that it anchors itself into the rough surface of the underlying metal—an ancient technique in which the design is determined stroke by stroke and cannot be corrected.
The stones
0.66 carats in two diamonds, Color F, VS1 clarity and cut Triple Excellent, with IGI certificate. Triple Excellent is the highest rating for proportions, polish, and symmetry: it means that the cut is executed to the highest possible standard, and it is the characteristic that determines how much light the stone returns.

The Artistry of Risivi & Co
Hand engraving and then setting stones on the same piece means working in an irreversible order: the engraving must be done first, because the graver on an already assembled piece would risk damaging the stones.
