Happy Stories From our customers

A few weeks back we posted a progress report on a custom inlay ring we were making (click here to view the post). We’re happy to say we finished this ring and we’re even happier to say that it’s gorgeous, in our humble opinions!

This ring contains 8 semi precious stones specifically cut to fit—plus eight princess cut diamonds weighing 1/2ct in total. The semi precious stones are: salmon coral, green jade, onyx, lapis, tiger eye, 2 different types of turquoise and mother of pearl. The ring has a solid back to give it some extra weight and durability.

We copied a ring that Bruce had that was made from sterling silver, and we’ve included a copy of the original for you to see. We’ve also included the original CAD drawing and the interim step.

Thanks again, Bruce, we are very happy to have helped you with this!!!

A customer of ours just sent this snazzy picture showing how she sports her custom made princess cut moissanite ring that we recently created for her. And, she happened to throw in a few accolades in her email that we couldn't resist posting on our blog (with her permission, of course). We're all kind of blushing over here. . . . . .

But wait, haven't we seen this ring before? Oh yes, it was an entry on our Custom Jewelry Design Contest: (click here)

Anyway, here's the good stuff! Thanks Cecily, we are so happy you love your ring and thanks for the kind words!!!! Cheers!

PS. Here's a pic of the ring"

Subtle but beautiful! We have these little tiny natural pink diamonds in for a customer. While subtle and light in color, they would look absolutely gorgeous set into rose gold, say in an accent band around a center diamond in a white gold engagement ring, for instance! We can hardly wait to make something with these!!!

Beautiful Blue! Blue sapphires and blue diamonds encrust this beautiful, custom made engagement ring. The center stone of this unique engagement ring is a sapphire while alternately channel set down the sides are blue diamonds and more blue sapphires. Complete with a custom message engraved inside the ring!

A client came to us with his wife’s favorite necklace to have re created.  The original was costume jewelry, made from base metal and imitation stones. We custom made a new necklace using 14kt white gold, natural blue sapphire, blue topaz and aquamarine stones. The shiny new favorite is shown on the left and the original on the right.

We had a customer inquiry today that we thought was very interesting. The customer is looking into replacing the center stone in a ring they already have. We thought the comments on moissanite vs. CZ (cubic zirconia) were compelling. We couldn’t have said it better!

<<I know at this time i can’t afford a diamond center stone. I already
have a moissanite necklace and i love it. I’m tired of cz’s that i have
to change very year because of the everyday wear and tear. My ring is
18k 1kt princess/round diamonds, but my center stone is cz. I’m ready
for a new ring or a moissanite centerstone.>>

Here’s one for you! Beyoncé is sporting an 18ct flawless emerald cut platinum diamond engagement ring at the Fashion Rocks red carpet last Saturday. It seems that Beyoncé secretly married rapper Jay-Z back in April, and this is the first time she’s gotten around to showing off her ring.

The European Gemological Laboratory (EGL) recently authenticated the worlds largest pearl weighing in at 5 pounds! The 6" pearl was found in the giant clam Tridacna Gigas off the waters of the Philippines and is said to be the most valuable ever. We’re wondering just how to make this into a ring. . . . . . . . . .

This pave diamond engagement ring is new to our line. It can be made to your specifications with either a natural diamond, a clarity enhanced diamond, a moissanite, a Gemesis cultured diamond or just about anything you can dream of in the center! The center stone is bezel set while the pave diamonds are set 3/4 the way down the shank. It is also available in any of our eight metals including platinum, palladium, 14kt and 18kt gold. We’ll post the ring with all of the options on our website soon. If you decide you just cannot wait until we do, give us a call and we’ll help you out with it over the phone!

This is how a ring looks in the middle of the process. The ring on the right is the one that we're copying for our client and the ring on the left is about half way finished. We're now having stones specially cut to fit each of the elongated spaces. Princess cut diamonds will top off each stone. We added a solid back to give the ring some heft! We'll post a photo of the finished piece when we get it back. We're nearly there Bruce!!
