Non-traditional stone

This engagement ring was designed to echo the look of a piece that belonged to the wearer’s mother, reimagined with a hexagonal step-cut center stone in a deep teal-blue hue. Round diamonds flank the center stone, while marquise-shaped clusters of small blue accent stones sit further along the band, framed with fine milgrain detail. Set in 14k white gold, the design balances the sentimental nod to the original piece with new stone choices selected for both color and durability. The result is a ring that carries forward a family connection while standing on its own as an original design.

This engagement ring centers a 3.03 carat marquise-cut lab-grown diamond, flanked by two pear-shaped lab diamonds set in claw prongs. The band splits into a cathedral-style V beneath the center stone, a detail refined through several rounds of design revision to achieve a delicate, twisted profile without sacrificing structural strength. Set in 18k yellow gold, the ring balances a bold center stone with an open, airy gallery underneath. The design moved through multiple iterations — prong style, side stone shape and alignment, and the shank silhouette were all adjusted based on client feedback before the final version was approved. It suits someone who wanted real input into the fine details of their ring rather than a stock setting, and who was drawn to a marquise silhouette paired with a distinctive, sculptural band structure.

This engagement ring pairs a bold elongated oval center diamond with a softly split yellow gold band, finished with a single delicate leaf engraved on each arm. Small round diamonds are set flush into the band near the point where the split meets, adding quiet sparkle without competing with the center stone. The band was built slightly thicker than a standard profile to match a ring the client already wears and loves the feel of. Designed with a low center setting in mind, the ring balances presence with everyday comfort, making it a fitting choice for someone who wants a substantial center stone without a ring that feels top-heavy.

This engagement ring reimagines a hummingbird in flight, with sculpted wing forms wrapping around a bezel-set oval lab-created ruby at the center. Small round lab-grown diamonds trace the shoulders of the band, and feather-like engraving runs along the profile for added texture. Built in 14k yellow gold with a flush, low-profile setting designed for comfortable daily wear, the ring carries a personal engraving inside the band. It was designed to echo the client’s own ring while introducing new coloring and symbolism specific to the couple.

This engagement ring centers a large oval moissanite, chosen for its brilliance and elongated shape, set above a hidden halo of small pave diamonds that adds sparkle without changing the ring’s clean silhouette from the top view. The band is a slim, straight 14k yellow gold shank, paired with platinum prongs for extra durability and a whiter contrast around the stone. A bridge area was deliberately built up slightly to allow a future wedding band to sit flush against the engagement ring. The inside of the band carries a private engraving, kept short to suit the narrow band width. This design suits someone who wants a classic solitaire look from above with a hidden layer of detail underneath, in a piece built to pair cleanly with a slim wedding band down the road.

This engagement ring combines a dark, textured center band with two polished 14k yellow gold rails on either side. The center section is cast in silver, finished matte, and plated in black rhodium to create a woven vine-and-leaf pattern that reads as a naturalistic braid running around the entire ring. A single round natural sapphire in a deep, intense blue sits bezel-set flush within the dark center, chosen so the stone integrates into the texture rather than rising above it on prongs. The three cast sections — two gold rails and the vine-textured center — are soldered together into one solid ring rather than assembled as separate moving parts. The matte finish on the center section was a late refinement, added specifically so the vine and leaf detailing would read clearly rather than disappearing into the sheen of polished metal. The result suits someone who wants a ring with real dimensional texture and a nontraditional dark-and-gold palette, without losing the durability and comfort of a standard band profile.

This engagement ring centers a 2-carat elongated radiant-cut lab diamond in a classic four-prong solitaire setting, finished in warm 14k yellow gold. The band carries a subtle sculptural detail where the basket connects into the shank, leaving open negative space just behind the stone — a custom addition built from a design board the recipient herself had put together. The prongs are finished to a pointed claw shape after the stone is set, keeping the profile refined rather than bulky. It suits someone who wants a solitaire with unmistakable presence but without a busy or heavily embellished setting.

This engagement ring centers a pear-shaped lab-grown diamond set high above a hidden halo, with round moissanite accent stones tracing both sides of the polished 14k white gold band. The high-profile setting and pear silhouette give the center stone a distinct, elongated presence, while the hidden halo adds brilliance without changing the outline visible from above. The band was widened partway through design to better proportion the stone size, and the accent stones were adjusted to match. It suits someone who wants a classic pear-solitaire silhouette with extra sparkle built into the setting itself.

This engagement ring began with a client designing her own piece around a stone she simply loved the color of — a soft blue kite-cut aquamarine, chosen for its uniqueness rather than any birthstone connection. The design moved through several rounds of refinement: the metal shifted from yellow to rose gold, the setting changed from a full bezel to open prongs, and the diamond accents were reworked from two simple side stones into a partial halo that traces the upper-left and lower-right edges of the kite shape. The result is an asymmetrical, modern silhouette with a low-profile plain band that lets the stone and its diamond framing carry the design. It suits someone who wanted an engagement ring with a distinct shape and color rather than a traditional round diamond solitaire.

This is a men’s wedding band built around a signet-ring silhouette: an oval face with a brushed matte finish surrounding a bezel-set marquise diamond, sitting flush with the surface for a low-profile, catch-free feel. The shank is polished and tapers toward the back of the finger for daily comfort. Made in 10k white gold, the design went through an extensive back-and-forth process — moving from an early floating-solitaire concept to a full signet reinterpretation — before landing on proportions the wearer felt were bold and masculine enough to stand on their own, while still visually connecting to the engagement ring it was designed to complement.

This engagement ring centers a 2.01-carat kite-shaped lab-grown diamond, set in a milgrain-edged bezel that echoes antique detailing while reading distinctly modern. On either side, small leaf-shaped elements set with round diamonds soften the geometry of the center stone, and the shank splits into a bypass silhouette that wraps fully around the stone’s base. The entire piece is cast in 14k yellow gold, with the warmth of the metal balancing the crisp lines of the kite cut. It suits someone drawn to an unconventional stone shape but who still wants a design that feels cohesive and intentional rather than purely experimental.

This engagement ring was designed as a close interpretation of a ring the client admired, rebuilt in 14k yellow gold with a marquise-cut yellow lab-grown diamond in place of the original stone. The band splits and rises into two polished arms that meet at a point beneath the diamond, creating a bypass-style V silhouette without a traditional halo or pave detail. The marquise diamond is held by a partial bezel with prong tips at each point, keeping the profile sleek and low. The result is a minimal, modern solitaire that leans on the color of the stone and the sculptural line of the band rather than added embellishment. It suits someone who wanted a specific design they’d seen elsewhere, recreated faithfully but in their own metal and stone choice.

This engagement ring pairs a 2-carat-class radiant cut lab diamond, set horizontally across a wide split band, with delicate moon and star engravings running along both halves of the shank. The double-band structure gives the ring a substantial, cigar-band-inspired presence without feeling overly delicate, while the celestial engraving detail adds a whimsical, personal touch. A short inside engraving is tucked into the solid back portion of the band. Made in 14k white gold, the design balances a bold silhouette with fine detail work, suited to someone who wanted a ring with real presence on the hand but didn’t want it to read as fragile or overly traditional.

This engagement ring centers a marquise-cut lab-grown diamond flanked by an oval and a pear-shaped diamond in a cluster arrangement, with small round diamonds scattered asymmetrically around the trio in varying sizes. Set in 14k yellow gold with a simple polished band, the cluster design creates a piece that reads as one unified shape rather than a single stone with accents. The scattered, varied-size round diamonds were a deliberate departure from a more rigid symmetrical layout, giving the setting a looser, organic feel while keeping the three-stone symmetry the couple wanted on both sides. It suits someone who wants an engagement ring with more visual movement and detail than a solitaire, without the piece reading as overly formal.

This engagement ring pairs a 1.05-carat oval lab-grown diamond with two symmetrical clusters of accent stones on either side — three marquise-cut blue sapphires bordered by small round diamonds. The design evolved from an ambitious multi-petal wildflower concept into a cleaner, more wearable cluster arrangement, refined specifically for a wearer with small hands and an active, hands-on daily life. Set in platinum for durability and a bright white finish that won’t require replating, the ring keeps the band deliberately plain and low-profile so the stone clusters read as the focal point without adding bulk between the fingers. A short inside-band engraving with an infinity symbol and heart completes the piece. The result balances a symbolic, nature-inspired design language with the practical demands of everyday wear.

This eternity band pairs two December birthstones — faceted blue topaz and cabochon-cut turquoise — set alternately all the way around a 14k white gold band. The continuous stone coverage makes it a natural stacking piece, sitting flush against other rings without an obvious front or back. Turquoise is a softer stone than most ring-set gems, so this design suits someone who wants the birthstone combination as a meaningful detail rather than a piece worn during heavy hands-on activity. The band width was kept slim at 2mm to keep the piece delicate and wearable alongside other rings.
