I was very excited when my client came to me asking for a flower inspired engagement ring with a vintage feel. With this in mind we talked through possible design features and ways of holding the diamonds, as well as how the engagement ring would sit next to a wedding ring in the future. We settled on a trilogy ring design to be made in 18 carat gold to compliment his (now) fiancé’s existing jewellery.
The next decision to make was choosing the perfect stones for the setting. I sourced different options and we looked at these together. After seeing these he decided he wanted the shoulder diamonds to be of a similar size to the centre stone. We felt this added to the vintage look and would definitely provide eye-catching impact.
To really get a feel of how the ring would look, and to make sure the stones were the right size for his liking, we modelled the CAD design on hand images and also on his fiancé finger using a photo of her. This really helped to give a better idea of scale.
