Blue Tanzanite Criss-cross Engagement Ring
Item #1314Fashion Ring Description
Tanzanite Center
At the top of this ring, a 2.50 carat cushion cut tanzanite sits in a four prong setting made from 18k white gold. All of the prongs originate from a single point directly below the main setting, and they angle in slightly on the way up to complement the elegant shape of the center stone.
The rich color of the tanzanite, with its deep blue accented with hints of purple, makes for a dramatic centerpiece while also enhancing the uniqueness of the design. Tanzanite is a relative newcomer to the world of fine jewelry, but it’s rapidly increasing in popularity and makes for a wonderful alternative to diamond or sapphire in an engagement ring.
Diamond and Milgrain Accents
On either side of the tanzanite, a trillion shaped diamond is chevron prong set within the opening created between the two strands of the split, criss-cross shank. These diamonds combined total 0.25 carats, and they provide just the right amount of contrast with their brilliant white sparkle, helping to enhance the beauty of the larger blue stone above.

Both strands of the shank are also bright cut set with round diamonds, and milgrain beading frames these accent stones for a lovely hint of vintage flair. The diamonds continue down nearly to the bottom of the ring, leaving just enough space between them to accommodate a sizing bar, and they highlight the elegant movement of the shank design nicely as well.

Customizing This Design
Any Joseph Jewelry item can be customized or used as the starting point for a new custom design. The gemstones, metal, proportions, setting style, surface details, and overall profile can be adjusted to better match your preferences, style, and budget.
Every custom piece begins with a conversation about what you want to create and what matters most to you. You work one-on-one with a designer to refine the concept, review the design direction, and create a detailed 3D CAD image of the item before it is made.
After the design is approved, we can create a wax model so you can review the piece physically. This step helps you evaluate scale, proportions, shape, and overall presence before final production begins.
Once the wax model is approved, our jewelers craft the finished piece with attention to structure, finish, stone security, and long-term wear. Each adjustment is reviewed carefully so the final item feels intentional, balanced, and made specifically for you.
You do not need to have every detail figured out before starting. If you like this item but want to change the stone, metal, size, shape, width, engraving, or overall style, we can guide those decisions through the custom design process.
Quality & Craftsmanship
At Joseph Jewelry, quality begins with the structure. We follow strict design and construction standards for metal thickness, weight, stone support, setting security, and long-term durability. These details help ensure the item is substantial enough for everyday wear while still maintaining a refined appearance.
We do not design custom jewelry to be unnecessarily thin or fragile. If a setting, band, gallery, or accent detail needs more support, we address it before production begins. The goal is to protect the stones, preserve the shape of the ring, and create a piece that can be worn confidently over time.
Gemstone selection is also part of our quality process. We help choose the center stone, side stones, and melee diamonds used in each ring, reviewing them for cut, color, clarity, consistency, and how well they fit the design. Even when a ring is designed around a specific budget, we maintain careful standards for the materials and craftsmanship that determine the quality of the finished piece.
Before completion, each custom piece is reviewed for proportion, comfort, stone security, finishing, and long-term wear.
Care & Warranty
All Joseph Jewelry custom pieces are supported by our lifetime warranty. We also provide long-term care, including complimentary cleaning and regular inspection, so your jewelry can be maintained properly over time.
Routine inspection is especially valuable for pieces worn every day. It allows the setting, stones, and overall structure to be checked as the jewelry is worn.
