Description
This elegant women’s fashion ring features an oval tanzanite prong set in the center of a wrapped, criss-cross shank. It was created for a client from Seattle, WA, who came into our Bellevue, WA showroom personally to discuss the type of ring she was envisioning.

After learning a bit about her tastes and style preferences, we created a CAD model of the ring we proposed to build for her. She did have a few questions about this model, and once she was sure we had every detail the way she wanted, she approved the design to move into production. Design Your Own Ring
Tanzanite Center
A 3.36 oval tanzanite takes center stage in this piece. It’s dazzling blue color is the perfect complement to the 14k white gold it’s set in, and the contrast produced only helps to intensify the gem’s beautiful shine.
Tanzanite was first discovered relatively recently, and it’s only found in a small section of Tanzania, which is where it gets its name. It has a beautiful blue color, and it ranges from 6.5 to 7 on Mohs’ hardness scale. This puts it below diamonds and sapphires, but still in a reasonable range for use in fine custom jewelry like this.
Wrapped Split Shank
The shank of this ring begins as a solid piece, but it splits in two just below the mid-point. From here, the two strands diverge quickly before coming back in to cross over each other, and then separating again to wrap around the lower portion of the main setting. This gives the ring a lovely fluidity, and it complements the oval shape of the center stone nicely. Custom Rings
Diamond Accents
One strand of the split shank on each side has split prong set diamonds running up from the spot of the split all the way to the top. Because of this, they wrap around the top and bottom of the tanzanite as well, helping to intensify the brilliance of the center gem while also adding some sparkle of their own to create a truly glamorous look.

Customer reviews
What a wonderful company! I was able to bring in a beautiful Tanzanite which they helped me design the most beautiful setting I could imagine. My taste in jewelry is not as "mainstream" as others, and they worked with my likes and dislikes to help create exactly what I wanted. There was no pressure to conform to any particular design. It was "my ring" and they helped me make it "my way". Their job is your satisfaction and happiness and I would strongly recommend this company to anyone and everyone!
