After picking his center stone, a 1.5ct slightly off square cushion cut, he explained that her want pear shapes and an additional round stone at the end.  “Kind of like an exclamation point!”  The resulting ring is absolutely spectacular.

We sketched the ring while they were here and lo and behold, with the side stones, the total weight was 5 carats! They left with a copy of our sketch, anticipating the finished ring.

About 10 days later, he returned to pick up the ring.

We have now received 4 phone calls over the last couple of months thanking us and telling us how much they love the ring.
