Description
This dazzling engagement ring features a Padparadscha sapphire in the center, with marquise diamond accents and diamond pave on the shank of the ring, all set in a rose gold and platinum two tone design. It was created for a client from Seattle, WA, who initially visited our Bellevue, WA showroom to learn more about the custom design process and our gemstone selections.
Read the full description
The initial designs involved half moon diamond accent stones, but after collaborating with our designers, the client tried a few different accent shapes, and decided on the smaller marquise shapes. We printed wax models of each option, which helped aid in the decision. Our custom design process allowed them to see the different models in comparison. Design Your Own Engagement Ring
Padparadscha Sapphire Center
A Padparadscha sapphire is one of the most rare colors of sapphire. It is pinkish-orange, sometimes salmon-colored, and usually from Sri Lanka. These specific sapphires sometimes have uneven coloring, with spots of yellow and pink along with the salmon color. The name means “aquatic lotus blossom”, and this ring's center is truly a unique gem because of it's 3.38 carat size, cut, and color. Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Rings
The client chose to have the basket of the ring cast in rose gold to better accentuate the colors of the sapphire, while the rest of the ring is cast in platinum to let the icy diamonds sparkle. Claw prongs hold the center stone in place.
Diamond Accents
There are many different diamond elements on this ring's design that work together to create a truly unique piece. Underneath the center, there are four tiny diamonds adding extra sparkle to the rose gold basket. Framing the center stone, there are three marquise diamonds on each side, set East-West to point towards the center sapphire. Then, after a slight split shank section, pave diamonds run down each shoulder to the three quarter mark, leaving a sizing section, just in case.
