Description
This dazzling engagement ring features a square blue sapphire prong set in white gold, with a halo of split prong set diamonds surrounding it, and additional diamond accents on the shank. It was created for a client from Redmond, WA, who visited our Bellevue, WA showroom in person to begin the custom design process.

Following that initial consultation, we communicated with him online through the workroom we set up to manage his project. In this way, we shared CAD models of the piece with him, and he provided feedback that we used to adjust the model until he was completely satisfied. He did also come in again in person to view some options for the center stone and to ensure it was the perfect centerpiece to his ring. Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Sapphire Center
The square blue sapphire that sits atop this piece is 0.81 carats, and its deep blue color is accentuated by the perfect lines of the cut. It’s held in place by four white gold prongs that cradle the corners, helping to protect them from damage while also highlighting the stone’s perfectly square shape.
Sapphires are nearly as hard as diamonds, making them a great alternative to fill the main spot in an engagement ring. They also come in a variety of colors, and that means you can use one to add some special meaning to your piece as well. For instance, picking a sapphire that’s the same color as your partner’s eyes is a wonderful way to work a personal connection into such a significant piece. Sapphire Engagement Rings
Diamond Halo and Accents
Surrounding the center sapphire is a squared halo of round split prong set diamonds. Our original design had the corners of the halo more pronounced, mirroring the shape of the sapphire exactly. After some consideration, however, the client decided he wanted a slightly softer look, and so we rounded the contours of the halo just a bit.
Split prong set diamonds also run down the shoulders of the shank, helping to tie the two sections of the ring together and providing some vintage flair along the way. As a finishing touch, round bright cut set diamonds line the basket below the center setting, which brings some surprise sparkle to the design as well.
