The Halo Moon Engagement Ring Set but make it bezel, chunky, and Montana Sapphire!

our client fell in love with the halo Moon ring, but wanted to make it a bit more chunky a bit more organic, and a bit more her!

We bumped the width of the halo Moon wedding band up to 3 mm and sprinkled the diamonds to make the pattern a bit more organic and random.
For the setting, she decided a wide hand carved chunky basil is what she was streaming of along with this stunning 1 carat blue Montana, Sapphire, from our favorite gemstone vendors, Misfit Diamonds and Sapphire’s! She selected the sapphire write from her website …
A few things that we did with the halo moon engagement ring, we removed the diamond halo and the prongs created it just as a bezel with a lower profile and a wider 4 mm hand carved organic band.

What do you think of our co-creation bringing our clients vision to life?

Each piece is handcrafted in our Wilmington NC studio by the sea! There’s always a little bit of ocean inspired influence, organic, and artisan handcrafted!

The #1 question I get in my DMs every single week

"How much does a custom ring actually cost?"

Honest answer: it depends. But it's probably not as out of reach as you think.

Our rings start around $2,000 for moissanite, and go from there depending on the stone and design. Most of my clients land in the $5–7K range for a lab diamond. Natural diamonds start around $10K+.

And yes — we offer payment plans. Because love shouldn't have to wait.

That time a little studio from Wilmington, NC ended up at Fashion Week.

Still surreal. Still grateful. Still making rings in my studio by the sea like nothing happened.

But honestly — this is proof that when you make something truly original, the world notices. No matter where you're doing it from.

For every small-town maker out there: keep going.

Making rings by the sea since 1999. ! This never gets old.

There's something about being close to the water that informs everything I make. The texture of the hammered bands. The organic shapes. he way I think about design—nothing too rigid, nothing too perfect.

Wilmington, NC has been my home and my muse for 25 years. Every ring that leaves this studio carries a little piece of it.

"I cried when I opened the box."

This is the message I live for.

When someone trusts you with something this important — the ring they'll wear every single day for the rest of their life — and then tells you it made them cry happy tears...

This is why I do what I do. 25 years in and it never gets old.

Thank you [client name] for letting me be part of your story.

5 things people get wrong about lab diamonds (from your jeweler bestie)

"Are they real?" Yes. "Do they hold value?" Let's talk. "Are they ethical?" More than you might think.

I get these questions every week. So here's my honest, no-nonsense breakdown — no agenda, just facts. Save this one.

And if you have more questions after? My DMs are always open.

The green sapphire people. You know who you are.

There's a whole community of people who see a green sapphire and just... know. They weren't looking for a diamond. They wanted color. Life. Something that felt alive on their finger.

I get it. I get you. Come find me.

From "I have an idea" to "I can't stop staring at my hand" — the custom
process.

People are sometimes nervous about going custom. They think it's complicated or expensive or risky.

So let me walk you through exactly what happens — start to finish — when you work with me. Swipe through. I promise it's way less scary than you think.

And yes, you'll be involved every step of the way.
