With exquisite craft and stunning design, it set a new Guinness World Record. Made out of recycled materials, the top of the ring featured a butterfly in three shades of gold - golden, white and rose. The base was a flower. Recycled gold was used as a base, and diamonds were repurposed to make this piece of craft stand out.

According to H.K. Designs, the ring weighs around 460.55 gms. It took almost nine months to complete the design. The ideation took more time considering the fact that more than 50,000 diamonds have to be studded in symmetry.
