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 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 sterling silver pendant centers on two koi fish facing one another beneath the phrase “This is water,” arranged along the top of the circular frame. A vine-and-leaf border wraps the edge, and the background carries a soft matte texture that sets off the polished fish, lettering, and vine work in the foreground. The piece was refined over several rounds of feedback to get the fish symmetrical, the lettering evenly curved around the circle, and the finish contrast just right. At roughly seven-eighths of an inch across, it sits as a compact, wearable pendant on an 18-inch cable chain. It suits anyone drawn to symbolic, nature-inspired jewelry with a personal phrase at its center, and who wants a subtle two-finish look rather than an all-over polish.

This sterling silver pendant reinterprets a compass-rose design the client commissioned once before, rebuilt smaller and simplified to four sapphires instead of a fuller stone layout. The dimensional metalwork sits raised above a matte-textured background, with polished directional points radiating from a central ring. A blue sapphire is set into the tip of each main point, and the oversized bail is sized to take an 8mm chain. The piece suits anyone who wants a returning design made their own, in a size and stone count personalized to a second commission.
