Epitome of Beauty and Power - Cleopatra Ring

Cleopatra - queen of ancient Egypt was known to lure men because of her devastatingly beautiful aura and sense of power. She ruled over Egypt with grace as she bestowed the magic of letting men fall for her. She is the epitome of power and beauty, beyond any man could ever love and dream of having.


This is where the creation of Cleopatra Ring began, representing the pinnacle in HN Collection's design ability and workmanship.

Ha-Nghi wanted to create the most beautiful yet powerful jewellery for her clients. Here is her vision for the ring in 3D rendering. This sketch was what she had as the first option with full diamonds wrapped around every facet of the ring.




For a second option, she had the ring only partially wrapped in diamonds. The specifications for this and, of course, the cost is moderated.



Now for the making. Only after meticulous and fastidious testing does a maker qualify to work with Ha-Nghi to bring to life her creations.

The full diamond version has over 300 individual diamonds, not including the centre diamond, which are each individually hand set with micro claws.

The final quality control test after the product is complete, Ha-Nghi calls her silk fabric test.

This simulates the wearer of the ring donning the most beautiful of exquisite gowns or clothing. To hold the 300+ stones in place, there are at least 600 micro claws. The finished item must be so exacting and fine that no claw can catch the fabric as she runs her just brought to life ring over and over fine silk fabric. Only by passing this final test is the ring good enough to be presented to the client.

You note the photographs of the Cleopatra Ring brought to the flesh, are exactly as per the 3D renderings.

Whether it be a variation to the Cleopatra Ring, or a special commissioning, Ha-Nghi uses her 3D drawings to confirm with the client that the design is in accordance with their wishes. Most importantly, her 3D sketches are drawn on a 1:1 scale, so the rendering is virtually as the end creation would be.

Tailoring To Client's Desires: Veronica's Edition of the Cleopatra Ring

Veronica was recently married and just had a beautiful baby girl added to their new family. Her engagement ring whilst beautiful, was not exactly as she wanted because of the rush of the engagement party at the time.

After a thorough review of Sydney's jewellers, she sought out Ha-Nghi to help recreate her perfect engagement ring as it was intended. The end result can be seen below, and as you can surmise, is a beautiful 3rd variation to the Cleopatra Ring.

Briefly, here is her beautiful journey:

Veronica fell in love with the Cleopatra Ring, but only required one row of diamonds surrounding the ring, and not on every facet.

Her original engagement ring's centre stone, a 1.15 Carat diamond was retained, and the design reworked around that stone.

Their collaboration lead them to these 3D drawings, which were ultimately approved by the client.


When the day finally came for Ha-Nghi to deliver Veronica's Edition of the Cleopatra Ring, she instantly knew she would treasure it forever and it would take it's place as a timeless heirloom from mother to daughter to grand-daughter.

Here is a picture Veronica's Edition of the Cleopatra Ring.



Ha-Nghi seeks to give enduring value with her bejewelled bespoke works of art. Value such that not only will it keep appreciating in value in your hearts as it becomes an integral part of your life, but grow in value monetary value as well. The finest design, matched with the finest craftsmanship and jewels should lure all jewellery connoisseurs at first sight.

Veronica's husband's testimonial:
"Thank you so much Ha-Nghi, we are very happy with Veronica's Edition of the Cleopatra Ring. I wish I had it at our engagement, it is exactly as Veronica requested and envisioned. I can see that we will treasure it and pass it onto our beautiful daughter."
