Description
This elegant engagement ring features a round brilliant cut diamond tension set between the two ends of the twisted shank, with bright cut set diamond accents on the palladium band. It was made for a client from Houston, TX, and we subsequently made an intertwined wedding band to match.
Read the full description
The client initially visited our Bellevue, WA showroom personally to begin the custom design process. We then communicated with him via the online workroom we set up to manage his project, and he used this platform to approve the CAD models of his pieces so that we could begin production.

Center Diamond and Accents
The main diamond in this ring is a 0.50 carat round brilliant cut stone, and it’s tension set between the two ends of the twisted palladium shank. The band is flat and straight most of the way around, but as it nears the top, it thickens vertically and begins to curl off to the left, leading it into perfect position to frame the large stone at the top.
Each of these twisted shank shoulders holds small round diamonds that are bright cut set in a line extending down to the mid-point on the band. These add a lovely sparkle and a glamorous flair to the design, and the choice of setting style helps introduce some classical overtones as well.
Intertwined Wedding Band
A narrow, flat wedding band passes directly below the center diamond, crossing from one side to the other as it intertwines with the shank of the engagement ring. The two pieces are soldered together at the bottom to keep them perfectly aligned, and the small wave in the wedding band at the top perfectly complements the movement in the engagement ring design, helping to unify the set. Matching Wedding Sets
The client had the engagement ring made first, and he then inquired about the options for making a matching wedding band. We shared several different designs with him, some of which would be soldered to the engagement ring and some that could remain separate. He chose to go with this intertwining option without accent diamonds, although those could be added to a piece like this as well if you’re interested in an even more dazzling display.
