For this project, we began with a well-loved engagement ring. It had a stunning center diamond and smaller diamonds on the shoulders that were constantly falling out. After replacing almost all of them, this client came to see if I might have a better suggestion. To keep with the simplicity of the ring, I suggested that we remove the remaining shoulder diamonds and fit platinum wire into the shoulders, replacing where the small stones were. She loved the idea. In order to make this work, we had to straighten out the under gallery where it had been misshaped as good as possible. We mutually decided that we didn’t want to do anything more elaborate, to keep with the integrity of the original design. After all, that center diamond is small… but it’s mighty – an E color with internally flawless clarity grade. This beauty does a fabulous job all on its own!
