A collection of client provided diamonds, creativity, imagination, and the inspiration of an effervescent and romantic couple conspired to bring this unique engagement ring to life.

Symmetry!

Our brains are remarkable instruments. We may not have a conscious awareness of precisely what is “wrong” when we see something out of place but we know something is.

In this piece I have juxtaposed the asymmetry of the ring with the impeccable symmetry of the gem. Cut by renowned lapidary Wobito gems this Morganite is the very definition of symmetry.

How does this juxtaposition make you feel? Would you have felt differently had I not mentioned it?

This is a rectangular, emerald cut, pink tourmaline set in a white gold ring with princes cut diamonds on the shoulders. I was commissioned, by the parents of a fabulous young lady, to make this ring as a graduation gift for their princess. 

Curious about the cut of the centre stone? We call it “emerald cut” because this style of cutting was developed for emeralds. Emeralds are rather fragile. During setting it is easy to chip, crack, or completely break a corner.

Remember the K.I.S.S. principle? Keep It Simple Stupid! That’s what happened here. In order to eliminate the risk of breaking a corner when setting a square or rectangular emerald … gem cutters simply removed the corners and the emerald cut was born! 

Ever Heard of Morganite?

It’s actually composed of the same mineral as emerald … and aquamarine!

I made this ring a while back as an anniversary gift for a very special Lady. White gold, morganite and pave diamond.

One of the most unique features of Francois and Jennifer’s ring … the ruby set inside the ring just beneath the diamond.

Why ruby? It is believed to promote, deepen, and strengthen love. These effects are even more powerful when the gem makes contact with the skin.

I did this upon their request but loved the idea so much I had to share it with you.
