I have a cushion cut 3.50 natural untreated blue sapphire ring in the store, that ring gets so much attention but it also comes with a hefty price tag as it is untreated, and due to the size, intense blue color and the almost rounded cushion shape which is very rare. Most cushion cut sapphires [...]

This client came back to get matching wedding band for her engagement ring. When I made this engageament ring, I’ve already advised him what kind of wedding band he will be looking at although it would be her choice when the time comes, just because with this kind of engagement ring, with a typical wedding [...]

This client was referred to me by another good client of mine. He had no idea about diamond or jewellery at all before he came across my door. We sat down for a casual chat, I ran thru some basic diamond knowledge with him, not in depth as I could go on forever and really [...]

This client came back to get a matching wedding band, they wanted to keep the “sapphire” theme so we used white sapphires instead of white diamonds with blue sapphires in her band to match with her blue sapphire solitaire engagement ring. White sapphires don’t usually sparkle as much as diamonds because they are not as [...]

This client is a geologist so he appreciates all types of stones but he is especially fond of color green, so of course he goes for emerald, we have looked into tourmaline together as that’s his second choice but it just can’t compete with emerald.

I’ve been emailing with this client back and fourth for a bit and explored a few ring designs. After looking thru many designs she still comes back and loves this one. It is bascially a triple halo ring mount, to accomondate a 2.50ct cushion cut she already has. I suggested some design details that will [...]

It’s always easier to choose wedding bands than engagement rings. You start with thinking if you want diamonds in your band or no diamonds, then it makes sense to use the same metal in your engagement ring for wedding band as well.
