Pave Set Alexandrites
The 14 alexandrites in this piece are all round and pave set in the leaf shape of the pendant. This creates an area of dense color and beautiful sparkle that complements perfectly the organic design of the piece. Alexandrites are a relatively recent discovery, and they’re quite rare. Possibly their most notable feature is their ability to change color, which allows them to appear green in natural light and red under incandescent lighting.
Diamond Accents
A line of pave set diamonds begins in the middle of the alexandrites and extends up, widening as it goes, to transition into the bale. This forms the stem of the leaf, continuing with the organic themes while also integrating necessary hardware into the design.
The diamonds taper as they move down into the leaf, with the largest at the top of the bale and the smallest close to the edge of the leaf. Once the space becomes too small for diamonds, decorative beading continues the effect. The line of diamonds follows a gentle curve as well, and this gives it a look more like a natural leaf, while the sparkle of the diamonds contrasts beautifully with the delicate glimmer of the alexandrites.
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.
