Same marriage, different engagement ring
6th September 2018
Quite often women come to me later in life to remake their engagement rings into something more to their current tastes. This customer had a minimalist design, low bezel set sapphire solitaire, that we would be remodelling.

The starting point for the design
She desired this design above which she had seen on the internet. Trouble was that her sapphire was a different shape and also much smaller than that shown in the photo. She also did not like the diamonds in the halo so we woudl replace that with some carved metal.
Design
Initial mockup in Photoshop
To speed the design process up we first worked on in Photoshop. Once we had a basic outline of the design we started to finalise it in 3D where we refined the top , front and side views.
One of the things that we did come to realise during the design process was that what looked adequate size in design was too fine in metal. You will notice that diamond carved metal halo is a bit wider in the 3D version when compared to the photoshop mockup.
Deliver
The ring was extremely well received and I have listed it`s details below:
- 5.8 x 4mm Emerald Cut sapphire
- .13 carats of accent diamonds
- 18ct rose and Palladium white gold
