Platinum And 14K Gold Custom Ring Of Barahir
Item #101867Fashion Ring Description
He began the process by sending us the description from the book as well as an image of the ring as it appeared in the movies, and we worked to develop a design that stayed true to the spirit of the piece. Although he couldn’t visit our Bellevue, WA showroom personally, we utilized both high-quality CAD images and wax molds to let him examine and approve all aspects of the ring before we put it into production.
Emerald Center
The stone that sits atop this ring is a 0.37 carat Chatham emerald that’s bezel set in palladium, and the contrast of the setting with the brilliant green of the emerald helps to enhance the color of the stone. The emerald itself is marquise cut so it resembles the eye of a snake, and this works to unite the upper and lower portions of the ring.
Band Design
While the emerald is beautiful on its own, it’s the band that really sets this piece apart. It includes a split shank that’s hand engraved with scales, so that it looks like the body of the two snakes, and that crosses back and forth as it moves up towards the main setting.
At the top of the ring, the serpents’ heads frame the stone nicely, and the detail of their faces and mouths is exquisite, and that is a testament to the impressive skill of our professional artisans. The snakes are depicted, as described in the book, with one snake upholding a “crown of golden flowers” while the other devours it, and for these flowers we used yellow gold so that they would really stand out.
The touch of color that the yellow gold brings to the piece helps to clearly mark off the different parts of the design. It may seem like a small detail, but those are what can make all the difference in a ring like this.

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.

Amazing Product and Communication! I had an amazing experience with Joseph Jewelry as they made me feel at ease with the entire purchasing process. I approached them to do a Lord of the Rings-based ring and the agent knew the item and handled the execution with care. I was shown a 3D model and then sent a wax mold of it prior to finalizing. At any stage, I felt that I could cancel or adjust my order. The final product was astounding and I am really happy with the level of detail, work, communication, and price!
