Natural diamond

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 S-shaped bypass ring was rebuilt in platinum after the original — a custom piece from the 1950s — was stolen. Three round natural diamonds sit in a raised box setting at the center, with pave-set round diamonds tracing both curves of the S so no metal band is left bare. The design was refined over several rounds of sketches and 3D renders to match the client’s memory of the original as closely as possible, including a solid, gap-free profile between the stones and the band. Platinum was chosen over white gold for its durability and because it holds its white color without replating over decades of wear. The piece is intended to be worn daily and eventually passed down to a family member.

This 14k yellow gold band alternates five marquise-cut natural rubies with four round natural diamonds, set across the top portion of a slim polished band that stays smooth underneath. The marquise cut was chosen to match the elongated shape of the rubies in the original piece, worked out from photos and careful comparison of stone proportions. It sits low and close to the finger, making it easy to stack or wear on its own every day. The design suits anyone who wants to bring a family piece back into daily rotation without it feeling fragile or precious to the point of being set aside.

This round pendant reproduces a street map as fine engraved linework across a solid gold-plated silver disc, with the road lines darkened to stand out clearly against the polished gold surface. Two natural round diamonds are bezel-set directly into the map at two specific points the client wanted marked. Originally envisioned as an open cut-out design, the piece was adapted to a solid engraved background after production concerns about stability and castability in silver. The result is a wearable, personal map that reads clearly as a real place rather than an abstract pattern, suited to anyone who wants to carry a specific location with them every day.

This pendant depicts a small winged fairy figure rendered in polished 14k white gold, holding a single round diamond in her outstretched hand. The wings feature open cut-out detailing that catches light from multiple angles, while the figure’s pose was refined during the design phase to get the proportions and orientation just right. Made to pair with a chain the client already owned, the pendant is sized at approximately 0.75 inches to sit comfortably as a everyday piece. It suits anyone drawn to whimsical, figural pendant designs with a touch of sparkle.
