Stittgen Fine Jewelry won first place in the Canadian Diamond category for their Fleur De Lys Ring, a handcrafted 19-karat white gold ring set with a 2.13-carat radiant cut Canadian diamond centre stone and two .07-carat pink diamonds. The ring is also pavé set with a total of .95 carat of diamonds and retails for $27,000.
