for Naomi Anderson, Birmingham – UK, 2005<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

This has to be my favorite engagement ring commission! Naomi approached me with the wonderful news that she was getting engaged and her fiance had given her his mother’s cluster ring with a center stone surrounded by prong set diamonds. A lovely ring indeed but Naomi wanted something a bit more contemporary looking.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

So after discussing with Naomi that she wanted something substantial in look and weight \u00a0plus for it to look a bit more contemporary we agreed to the above design. The pink tourmaline is set low (so not to catch on things as she works)\u00a0in a bezel setting (framed in metal not set with prongs or claws) with the diamonds flush-set\u00a0down the side of the ring and an extra diamond set on the side of the ring for a unique detail.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

The result is a custom made ring tailored to Naomi’s style and functional tastes with the added sentimental value of incorporating the stones of her mother-in-law’s ring.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Watch out later in 2008 I’ll be making their wedding bands.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
