Description
This stunning engagement ring features a round blue sapphire set at the top of a wrapped white gold shank, accented with diamonds, sapphires, custom hand-engraving, and filigree. It was created for a couple from Redmond, WA, who visited our Bellevue, WA showroom to begin the custom design process.

They subsequently communicated with our team online to view renderings of various alternative designs and decide which they liked best. They also came into our showroom again to select the sapphire they wanted to use in the center, and they were very happy with the way the ring turned out. Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Sapphire Center
The centerpiece of this ring is a 1.72 carat blue sapphire. It’s held in a tension setting that’s formed by the wrapped ends of the shank, and the way these strands curve around the large center stone bring a graceful dynamic to the ring. Although diamonds are the most common choice for engagement rings, sapphires are frequently used as well, and the wide variety of colors they come in gives you many options if you’re looking to work in a personal detail to your piece.
Diamond and Sapphire Accents
Small round diamonds and sapphires are bright cut set in an alternating pattern along the shoulders of the shank. They begin at about the mid-point on the band, and they continue all the way up to the tapered ends of the strands that wrap around the center stone. They’re lined with milgrain beading, which lends some vintage flair to the design, and they bring their own special sparkle as well. Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Rings
Filigree and Engraving
A beautiful hand-engraved organic scroll pattern covers the top of the band below where the diamond and sapphire accents stop. This detail also runs up one front of each side, continuing up to cover the fronts of the main setting as well.
On the side of the shank that’s not engraved, lovely floral filigree fills the space between the band and the center sapphire. This integrates well with the pattern in the hand-engraving, and it establishes a decidedly organic theme for the piece. The clients briefly considered working small accent diamonds into these filigree flowers as well, but eventually decided it was perfect without them.
