Celebrating May and Emiley's beautiful emerald and diamond ring!
🌟Story: Emiley came in by the recommendation of her friend, Susan, for whom I created a beautiful Asscher cut diamond ring. This was going to be a self purchase, a meaningful ring that celebrated Emiley's personal journey, as a mother, wife and career woman. She wanted an emerald center stone in a gold setting. She was open to the design of the ring.
I looked at her hand structure and personal style, and I asked her questions to fully understand what she wanted to express through her ring. Then I sketched a preliminary design and suggested leaving it open until she chooses her center stone.
For the second appointment, I brought several emeralds for Emiley to compare, and choose from. She picked the most beautiful Asscher-cut emerald. Then I started thinking about the design and once I was ready, she came in to see the options I had prepared. I suggested a textured gold band versus a smooth high polish look. I showed her different textures and she loved my signature "Coarse Linen Suit" texture. I love the texture of fabrics and for this design, I was inspired by the weave of a coarse linen and silk fabric. Since the texture has a structured look, I suggested putting Asscher cut diamonds for added pizzazz. I suggested the option of having either one larger Asscher-cut diamond or a few smaller Asscher diamonds on either side of the emerald. Emiley chose the look of a few smaller Asscher cut diamonds.
After I completed Emiley's ring, she came in and I got to see the expression on her face when she opened the box and slid the ring onto her finger!
Thank you, Emiley, for giving me the opportunity to create for you. Enjoy your ring and may life always surprise you with beautiful moments. Thank you, Susan, for recommending me to Emiley.
