$4.9M Ring Sets Guinness World Record with 7,700 Diamonds

Lakshikaa Jewels created this record-setting ring with 7,777 diamonds.

A ring worth $4.9 million has been recognized by Guinness World Records for “most diamonds set in one ring.”

The piece by Lakshikaa Jewels in Mumbai, India, has 7,777 sparklers. They’re set on an 18 karat gold base.

“A team of twelve crafters and one experienced jeweller and designer worked on the project to recreate the Lotus Temple in Delhi on a piece of jewellery,” according to a news release from Guinness World Records.

It took 18 months to create.

“I couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to celebrate human ingenuity and spirituality than this temple,” said Lakshikaa Jewels’ founder Naveen “Prince” Bhandari.

Bhandari added that the lotus, known as padma in Sanskrit, is a sacred symbol in several religions.

As part of the verification process, Lakshikaa Jewels ensured that all diamonds used were conflict free, according to the release.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
