This beautiful engagement ring features an emerald cut ruby prong set in platinum and surrounded by a diamond halo, with additional diamond accents on the tapered shank. It was created for a client from Renton, WA, who worked with our team primarily onsite in our Bellevue showroom. Design Your Own Engagement Ring

He came in with a good idea about the type of piece he wanted us to design, and after discussing his preferences with him, we outlined the ring we proposed to build in CAD. He requested a few revisions to this initial model, and we incorporated his feedback into a new design which he then approved to move into production.
Center Ruby and Halo
The center stone in this ring is a 1.26 carat emerald cut ruby with a rich, dark red color. The clean lines of the emerald cut only work to enhance the stone’s natural beauty, and the way the talon prongs curl up over the truncated corners frames it perfectly.
Just outside the prongs and slightly below the main stone, a contoured ring of round bright cut set diamonds lined with milgrain form a halo around it. These add wonderful sparkle to the piece, and their round shape helps reinforce the contrast between them and the larger, angular ruby.
Diamond Accents
Additional bright cut set diamonds run down the shoulders of the shank, tapering in various places to perfectly fill the space available. The band itself also tapers, and it is divided into multiple smaller sections by lines of milgrain beading. These details help tie in with the halo at the top, unifying the design and adding some vintage flair along the way.
Band Design
The band widens somewhat dramatically at the top to smoothly integrate into the main setting. It is made of platinum, which is a popular choice for everyday pieces like engagement rings due to its impressive durability and the fact that it does not need replating to maintain its stunning white color.
