I used heirloom gemstones to create this one-of-a-kind ruby and diamond engagement ring. The pear ruby sits at a jaunty angle, and the tine bead-set diamonds weave down each side of the ring This was such a fun custom project, and even more special because it's for my besties. Congratulations, Pat and Rosie!! About this ring, Rosie said "I couldn't be happier with my ring! It turned out elegant and unique just as I wanted!! I loved being able to repurpose family stones and give them a second life. I'm already looking forward to designing my custom wedding band! Thanks so much Christine....

I made this antique-inspired halo engagement ring for my sister-in-law, and she chose a simple rose gold wedding band to stack with it.  I love mixed metals! You don't have to worry about matching your jewelry when you intentionally mix metals. Wear what you love, what makes you feel good.

Nicholas and Lindsey just sent these gorgeous engagement shots to me, and I'm so excited to share them! I created a custom pear halo engagement ring for Nicholas, making sure that it would fit well with a simple, classic diamond pavé wedding band. Sometimes a wedding band for a pear shaped engagement ring has to be contoured, but I try to design my engagement rings so that both straight and contour bands will work.

Do you have diamonds from your grandmother's engagement ring that you'd like to turn into a new piece of jewelry? Let's reimagine your family heirlooms! I removed this round brilliant diamond from an old family ring my client had laying around. We reset the diamond in a simple white gold bezel pendant, so she could wear it every day. It doesn't get any better than that! Do you have old jewelry laying around the house? Let's give it a new lease on life! Send me a message to get started.

I reused some of my customer's heirloom diamonds (from her mother's engagement ring), and added more pavé diamonds to complete these custom halo earrings. They're .25" in diameter, which is perfect for everyday wear. There's nothing better than giving new life to old jewelry! Do you have jewelry that's gathering dust in your jewelry box? Let's make something new together!
