Don and Jen are often not in the same city at the same time due to their jobs so Don took the opportunity to have a custom modern engagement ring designed for Jen, to whom he was planning on proposing. He knew she had been hinting at the next step in their relationship.
He was referred to me by another jewelry designer who knew my work was in alignment with what Don had envisioned. We talked and he had some ideas. He also showed up with a handful of rings some of them with diamonds from Jen’s mother. She had given them to Don after he told her he wanted to propose to her daughter. Jen’s mother, now privy to the surprise, suggested he chose one of the stones for Jen. Making the ring all the more special with the connection to her mother. We pulled out a 5mm center stone from one of the rings. Don was very specific, it was not about how big the stone was just how perfect it was represented as an expression of his love to his future fiancée.
The setting was carved out of wax. He wanted it to be noticeable but not stick up. We decided to mount the stone into the band rather than have a bezel or prongs. The stone was set into a V in a solid platinum ring, opening the sides and giving it a satin finish to make the stone pop. He proposed with the CED custom ring on the sandy beaches during a vacation they had been planning together. “We just got back in town from a great trip, and wanted to let you know that the ring was a HUGE hit… and thankfully she said yes, so it’s official!”
Congratulations to both Don and Jen!
CED custom modern engagement ring, finished!
