Ideation & Inspiration
Every project begins with a dialogue. For Sam, we knew we wanted to base the ring around some exceptional celestial-inspired hand engraving for his partner, Myranda. Our associate, Shelby, began by reviewing some inspiration images with Sam and helped narrow down a motif we could show our hand engraver for reference. The motif Sam landed on included scrolling linework and moons, dotted intermittently with sparkling diamond stars.
Once the band was decided on, Shelby and Sam focused on the perfect center stone. The marquise shape suited the design perfectly, evoking the shape of the moon and the radiance of the sun. Shelby sourced a 1.59 CT diamond and got to work with our CAD designer creating a setting specifically created for the dimensions of the stone they chose.
Technical Engineering
Precision meets artistry. Using advanced CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, we translate the sketch into a 3D model. This ensures structural integrity as defined by a professional and allows the client to see their piece in their specifications from every angle. The CAD doesn't just help the customer, either. It's the exact same file we use to cast the setting!
The first version of the CAD featured 6 standard prongs instead of a bezel. Sam noted upon seeing the CAD that it "felt a little busy" with the prongs, and we have to agree! The addition of a bezel setting on the finished design really allows the hand engraving to pop.
The Finished Product
The culmination of weeks of labor and ready to be worn for a lifetime. From hand-setting the stones to the addition of the celestial engraving, this beauty now rests on Myranda's finger forever.
