Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring

My client was getting engaged and wanted a ring to have a deep personal connection with his fiancé. He knew that she loved pink and so we designed this ring together. I first thought that the center gem should be surrounded solely with pink sapphires, but we then decided to add a mixture of diamond and sapphire pavé. I was very proud of the end-piece and my client’s fiancé loved the piece.

The piece was entirely hand-made. I designed a model in 3-D software. The 3-D render is shown below.

In the end, I hand carved the model from wax to ensure that the ring’s lines were soft and sexy.

Diamond Platinum Tennis Necklace

I completed a magnificent platinum diamond necklace.  The necklace has 14.14 cts of diamonds, D-F color and VS clarity.  In total, there are 112 diamonds.

The entire piece was hand made and I also set each of the diamonds.  The necklace is timeless and will always be in style.  The piece was custom ordered by a lady who prefers elegant, classic diamond jewelry.
Platinum is a wonderful metal with which to work.  It requires special polishing techniques and can be brought up to an almost mirror finish.  It is also extremely strong and so some delicate pieces can be made with platinum that would never be strong enough in gold or other metals.
