This Summer, we had the pleasure of working with a long time client. She is always on the move, crisscrossing the country. Boston is a frequent stop for her, however the West Coast is where she calls home. She has a deep appreciation for all jewelry, so we can all connect on that level creating some amazing pieces for her through the years. Recently she became engaged, her fiancé gave her an amazing and unique vintage ring including twin European cut diamonds bezel set side by side on top if the ring. The condition of the ring was typical for a ring that is over 100 years old. The shank was worn, thin and split. All the settings on the sides were worn as well as the under gallery being compromised by wear over the years.

incredible gem in the center sandwiched between the two twin diamonds. She has an impressive collection of loose gemstones in various shades and intensities, but a cushion shaped sapphire with intense color was the perfect selection. The bezel setting was created in CAD and fitted into place, however the remainder of the transformation was hand tooled in our workshop. Our team worked together to make our client's dream of the perfect 'enhanced" engagement ring possible.
