Sapphire, Diamond and Platinum
|
Our client wanted to create a custom engagement ring that combined classic elegance with a modern flair. So, we took our Cool Ice design, added a rich velvety blue sapphire and created a striking ring that we named "Cool Blue".
The first step in creating this ring was to help our client find the perfect center stone. We asked our best sapphire cutters to send us their best oval sapphires in the 1.5 to 2.0 carat range. We then worked with the client to select the best of the best from among the large field of spectacular gemstones sent to our office. He chose a striking blue sapphire weighing 1.9 carats. Note the exceptional faceting, perfect symmetry and soft oval outline of the sapphire .... all of which enhance the intoxicating color of the gem. Next, we selected two trilliant-cut diamonds of exceptional color and brightness to perfectly complement the center sapphire. These diamonds are burnish-set into the platinum band on either side of the center stone. The sapphire itself is securely set with four platinum prongs.The ring was hand crafted in 95% pure platinum and all the surfaces were brightly polished to a beautiful mirror-like finish. The width and thickness of the ring tapers slightly from the shoulders (where the trilliant diamonds are set) to the back or lowest point of the ring. This gives the ring a more elegant and graceful look and assures that it will rest comfortably on the wearer's finger. Also note how the gemstones have been set low, close to the ring. This helps protect the gemstones and is a great option for the active woman.
We also created a matching wedding band to make a complete set. The band is softly curved to fit snuggly against the engagement ring. Like the engagement ring, the wedding band is crafted of 95% pure platinum and beautifully polished to a mirror-like finish. A perfect match for a perfect marriage! |
