Stunning Sapphire
When Brady requested a sapphire instead of the traditional diamond for an engagement ring, we knew this was going to be a piece to remember. This gorgeous sapphire has such incredible light play that it’s hard to distinguish if the stone is a deep blue or green. Photos really can't do it justice!
A rare and memorable stone, the classic design that encapsulates it is as elegant and timeless as the wonderful woman who wears it. Kim and Brady made an amazing choice with this design - this is one for the books!
Elegant Emerald
Our very favorite things to do are to work with color and make people’s jewelry dreams come true, so when Martin approached us to help him design and create a beautiful emerald engagement ring, we were on board from the beginning.
Working with birthstones in engagement rings is unforgettable and thoughtful, while adding fun color to the mix. Birthstones are a wonderful option for couples who are looking for something unique and nontraditional for their engagement pieces.
Marvelous Marquise
When Christine and Larry visited our new studio, they knew without a shadow of a doubt that they wanted to recreate this amazing teal topaz ring we designed into their own memorable engagement ring. Christine was able to work directly with Linda to pick out her own marquise diamond, and the rest is magical history!
While diamonds are traditional in engagement rings, the shape and design of Christine’s incredible ring is anything but. And this dazzling ring matches her dazzling personality!
Branches Band
Jessica and Floyd LOVE spending time outdoors and on adventures, so they knew they wanted some elements of nature incorporated in Jessica's custom engagement ring. Our Branches ring is a fan favorite, so we showed Floyd our tree like details and he was on board. Floyd and Jessica both work at our favorite neighborhood coffee shop, Fabled Bookshop & Cafe, so we wish our downtown neighbors the very best in their engagement and marriage!
