Diamond Solitaire
The center diamond in this ring is a 1.59 carat round stone, whose natural beauty is only enhanced by the quality Star 129 cut. The technique used to shape this type of gem involves creating 129 precisely-placed facets in order to maximize the amount of light reflected back out. To put this in context, a standard round brilliant cut diamond has about 58 facets, and a princess cut averages around 76.
The elegance of this ring helps highlight the diamond’s natural beauty as well by placing it at the center of the classic solitaire design. Long a traditional favorite for engagement rings, the diamond solitaire carries with it overtones of everlasting romantic love, and it’s a wonderful way to represent the depth and purity of your relationship.

Band Design
Adding to the elegance of this piece is the shape of the tapered cathedral shank, which rises to meet the side of the center diamond just as it narrows to a point. These ends of the shank shoulders lie between the two prongs on each side of the center stone, and the way they curve gently in right before meeting the main setting gives the impression that they’re helping to lift the diamond up and hold it out for all to see.
Custom Wedding Sets
Because you’re likely to wear your engagement ring and wedding band together for many years to come, it’s a good idea to have them made to match each other. Due to the nature of the custom design and production process, we recommend you have both pieces made at the same time, but we can also make a wedding band to match an engagement ring you already have. Matching Wedding Sets
This is true no matter what style you’re after or how clear of an idea you have of the kind of pieces you want, and thanks to the advanced technological tools we have at our disposal, we can collaborate with you in person in our Bellevue, WA showroom or online, whichever is most convenient for you.
