Custom Designing your Diamond Ring

Laurent — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 23:04:37 +0000

Over the past few years, we have turned more and more toward customizing the majority of the rings we create. At first our customers feel a little daunted by the task but when they learn about the process and start thinking about the benefits, they become eager and excited about the project. Most of the time we start with a nebulous concept, a quick sketch or a picture from a magazine. Using sample rings on our site and in our showroom we start talking about the different possibilities, proportions and options. We take copious notes and come up with an cost. After the initial meeting, we discuss our customer’s wishes with our design team and everything gets put into a CAD image. We review the initial CAD and make necessary adjustments until we are very close to what our customer envisioned. The wedding band, in its’ original incarnation had a huge swerve which made it impossible to wear on its’ own. In the design process, we softened that cure to the point that it is barely noticeable.

We then present the CAD to our customer and upon approval move forward with the manufacturing process. In the case of the attached pictures, we used stones from our customer’s original wedding band along with sapphires from an heirloom ring. We were fortunate that they were nearly the same diameter. In the design process we were able to adjust the heights of both rings such that they would look good next to each other despite the difference in the size of the stones in the shanks.

Once the design is approved, creating the ring takes about a week to 10 days. The end result is personal, unique and worthy of being yours.

New Budget-Minded Solitaire Engagement Ring Settings

Laurent — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:08:40 +0000

The second half of 2012 as well as the beginning of 2013 has shown us a very definite trend toward budget-mindedness. Taking this message to heart we have introduced three new solitaire settings priced from $495 to $575 in 14K gold (prices based on March 2013 gold prices). For lack of a better name (feel free to suggest some) we are calling these our Scroll Collection as there is intricate scroll work hidden under the cathedral part of the ring. From the top these engagement rings appear simple but a whole new world can be discovered from the side. One of them has four little diamonds tucked into the scroll work. The beauty of these new solitaire settings, apart from the price, is that they can be paired with virtually any wedding band you can think of. From the simple to an intricately woven pavé pattern, these engagement rings hold their own.

Megan Fox and Brian Green announced today that they will be renewing their wedding vows. Heidi Klum and Seal do it yearly, as well. But this isn’t just a trend for celebrity couples, plenty of married people put the spark and romance back into their relationship with this tradition.

It’s a way to reconnect, celebrate milestones and anniversaries, or in some cases, do it their own way without the hassle of trying to make families or other parties involved more happy. Some have better finances and would like to have the wedding of their dreams.

No matter what the case, a gift is in order and nothing says “I love you,” better than diamonds. Some choose to increase the carat count of their ring, or go for entirely different piece like a pendant, earrings or bracelet.

Below are some ideas:

Simple is always good. She can wear a diamond tennis bracelet for any occasion.

The same goes for diamond studs. They are a staple in any woman’s wardrobe.

Nothing could be more apt for the occasion than a diamond heart.
