Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Raj Nidimoru’s recent Bhuta Shuddhi Vivaha ceremony in Coimbatore unfolded like a serene blend of devotion and understated luxury. In the peaceful setting of the Linga Bhairavi Devi temple, she chose to celebrate this personal milestone with simplicity, yet her look carried touches of exquisite artistry. Her red Banarasi saree brought in the charm of age-old tradition, but it was the ring on her finger that truly sparked conversations.
This ring, designed by Athens-based private jeweller Theodoros Savopoulos, stood out not because it was flashy, but because it reflected a rare kind of beauty. At its heart was a lozenge-cut diamond, a shape that immediately calls to mind the bold geometry of the Art Deco era. For many years, this cut wasn’t as popular as ovals or cushions, but it has quietly made its way back into the world of collectors who appreciate unique shapes and thoughtful design.
The lozenge cut has French roots and refers to a rhombus-like shape. Its clean lines and symmetrical form give the stone a sculptural quality. Its facets are arranged in a step-cut pattern that creates a soft, mirror-like glow. Unlike the elongated emerald cut, the lozenge keeps all sides equal, offering a balance that feels both elegant and restrained. The result is a diamond that catches the eye gently, without overpowering the hand.
Jewellery expert Priyanshu Goel explains that Samantha’s ring features a two-carat lozenge portrait diamond surrounded by eight custom-cut stones shaped like delicate petals. Although the design looks effortless, it demands exceptional precision. Only a few specialised workshops around the world can handle portrait-cut stones with such accuracy, where even the tiniest misalignment can disrupt the harmony of the piece.
In the end, the ring reflects what the ceremony itself symbolised—a meeting point between spiritual simplicity and refined craftsmanship, where every detail was created with intention, care, and a deep sense of meaning.
