Description
This exquisite engagement ring features a cushion cut ruby surrounded by a diamond halo, with custom hand engraving and filigree accents. The design was developed for a couple from Seattle, WA, who initially reached out to us online to share their ideas for their dream ring.
Read the full description
With the information they gave us, we came up with an original design that they were very happy with. At their request, we also designed wedding band #101225 to go with this piece, and after getting final approval of the CAD images for both pieces, we turned the project over to our expert artisans to begin production.
Center Ruby and Halo
The stone in the center of this ring is a 0.71 carat cushion cut ruby, whose stunning fire is emphasized by the contrast with the brilliant white of the diamonds in the surrounding halo. The ruby is bezel set, and the diamonds are bright cut, a combination that helps give the ring a more classical feel.
Hand Engraving and Filigree
Both the top and the fronts of the spit shank are covered with beautiful hand engraving down to about the three-quarter point on the band. This is lined with milgrain beading for a bit of vintage flair and to give the ring a more finished look. A custom hand-made filigree in the shape of twisted rope also fills the space between the two split pieces of the shank as they move outward to wrap around the center setting.
