Description
This elegant men’s wedding ring features a checkerboard garnet flush set in the center, with flush set diamond accents on the fronts, and a custom filigree plate inside the band. It was created for a client from Concord, CA, and we made a wedding band for his fiancee at the same time. He had previously come to us for a custom garnet engagement ring, and he was so happy with the way that turned out that he wanted us to make their wedding rings as well. Matching Wedding Sets

Flush Set Garnet
A 2.77 carat garnet sits at the top if this ring. It’s roughly square in shape, with slightly rounded edges, and the interior features what’s known as a checkerboard pattern formed by the positioning of the facets. This creates a lovely effect as the light catches the stone at different angles, and the contrast of the rich red of the garnet with the brilliant white of the platinum it’s set in really helps the stone stand out.

Diamond Accents and Band Design
The band itself is flat and wide, although it tapers slightly as it moves away from the top. On the fronts, however, it thickens significantly near the center setting, which allows for the depth of the garnet at the top. On each of these fronts, a small round diamond is flush set, and these add a surprise sparkle that really brings character and depth to the design. Men’s Custom Wedding Bands
On the inside of the band, a custom filigree plate runs below the center setting from the middle of one shank shoulder to the other. It features a criss-cross pattern that the client requested, and it’s a special personal touch that stays hidden when the ring is being worn.
Matching Wedding Sets
The client chose a garnet for his center stone to match the engagement ring and wedding band we made for his fiancee. This use of the same type of gemstone across all pieces in the wedding set really helps unite them and serves as a wonderful symbol of the bond between the couple.
