Description
This stylish men’s wedding ring features bezel set blue sapphires evenly spaced around the center of a sandblasted platinum band, bordered on either side by polished rails. It was created for a couple from Issaquah, WA, who worked with our team both on site in our Bellevue, WA showroom and online to finalize the details of their project. Design Your Own Wedding Ring

They initially visited our store in person to pick out an inspiration piece, and they then communicated with our team online to adjust our models until they were perfect. The clients thought at first that they wanted to have a Celtic knot design running down the center portion of the ring. But after seeing mock ups of the piece with and without the design, they decided to go for the smooth surface seen here. Celtic Rings
Blue Sapphires
There are six princess cut blue sapphires in this ring, all of which are bezel set in a compass position so that their corners point north, south, east, and west. This sets them at odds with the straight rails on either side, and the contrast helps bring some interesting interplay to the design. The rich blue of the sapphires also contrasts nicely with the brilliant white of the platinum band, and the matte surface they’re set in really helps their sparkle stand out.

Contrasting Finishes
The center portion of this ring where the sapphires are set is sandblasted to create a fine, almost velvety surface. The rails on either side are separated from this main section by a narrow grooves that run all the way around the ring, and both the grooves and rails are polished to a high shine.
This contrast between the finishes helps highlight the separation between them, and it also brings another layer of complexity to the piece. The bezel settings around the sapphires are polished, and as they sit up slightly higher than the sandblasted center, this makes their margins clearer as well.
