Description
This exquisite, antique-style engagement ring features round brilliant cut diamonds in a three-stone setting, with custom filigree and hand engraving on the yellow gold band. The design was developed in consultation with a couple from Seattle, WA, who communicated with our staff both online and in person in our Bellevue, WA location.
Read the full description
They initially came into the showroom to view some different types of pieces and decide on the types of features they liked. Once we knew what style they were leaning towards, we created a CAD model of their piece, which we shared with them online. After several rounds of adjustments, they were satisfied that we had perfectly captured their vision, and they gave approval to move their piece into production. Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Three-stone Setting
The main stone in this ring is a 1.01 carat round brilliant cut diamond. It’s cradled in a four prong platinum setting, and the way the flat prongs curl up to wrap around the stone really help highlight its beautiful shape.
On either side of this larger stone, a smaller round diamond is bright cut set in 18k yellow gold. These each sit in a small pocket on the shank shoulders, which are formed in the same style as the looping filigree below the main setting. They are also lined with milgrain beading, and this intensifies the antique effect while also framing the stones beautifully.
FIligree and Engraving
The fronts of the ring below the center stone are covered with an intricate, open filigree design, which is another element that contributes to the antique style of the piece. Custom hand engraving begins right where this filigree ends as well, and our client picked out the pattern specifically for its compatibility with the design of the filigree. The engraving continues all the way down almost to the bottom of the ring on both fronts, while the top of the band remains smooth and slightly rounded. Vintage Engagement Rings
Two-tone Band
While the majority of this ring is made from yellow gold, the setting for the main diamond is platinum. The entire ring was going to be platinum in our initial design, but our client decided she liked the look of yellow gold better and opted to keep the center setting platinum for added security and stability.
