Description
This beautiful men’s band features a cross design in yellow gold, highlighted by contrasting finishes. It was created for a client from Kfarhbeb, Lebanon, who worked with our team online and over the phone to finalize the details of this ring, which was a gift for his father.

Band Design
Two grooves run all the way around the band, creating a wider center section bordered by narrower rails on the outside. At the top of the band, a cross shape spans the entire width of the ring, and it is offset from the rest of the piece by small gaps on the sides. The pieces of the cross are as wide as the center section of the band, giving the ring a nice balance and symmetry.
The cross itself went through several iterations during the design process. It began as a variant of the Saint George’s cross, but after viewing several different ring options using this shape, the client opted for the more squared version seen here.
Contrasting Finishes
The entire band including the cross is made of 18k yellow gold, and so contrasting finishes were used to further highlight the differences between the sections. The center section has a brushed finish for a nice matte effect, while the rails and cross are polished.
Custom Fine Jewelry
Whether you want a ring very much like this one, or you want to go in a completely different direction, our custom design process is set up to ensure you get exactly what you are imagining. Our team of skilled designers will take your ideas and turn them into a highly detailed model of a unique piece, that you can then revise and tweak as much as you need until you are completely satisfied.
It is only once you give your final approval that we’ll turn your project over to our expert artisans to begin production. And we can even grow a wax mold for you to inspect before you give the go-ahead if you would like to see a physical representation of your piece before the production process begins.

Customer reviews
My husband and I both love our anniversary rings from Joseph Jewelry! From customer service, to design and craftsmanship, the process was flawless and the team at Joseph Jewelry did an AMAZING job. They were able to show us our rings in 3D, the process allowed us to make modifications to what I originally had in mind. The rings design were perfect, exactly what we wanted. Production took about 3 weeks and the beautiful work on our rings exceeded all my expectations! We worked with Joseph and his team virtually through their website and the communication was seamless. We both are happy clients of Joseph Jewelry and recommend them to all our friends.
