Have you found the dream engagement ring design?

 

Every other day, I will meet a client who will be beaming as he or she shows me a picture cut-out from a magazine, or on their iPad or iPhone with an image of the most beautiful ring they had seen. 

This stunningly rare 16.01-carat yellow diamond ring unveiled by Birks Jewelry Store is a fine example. Bear in mind an image that takes your breath away is often done so with clever photoshop and most of all its proportion in size of the centre gem. 

It is a designer's dream to design with a large diamond for it does allow more room to play with especially details in the bezel setting. Look close to see more yellow diamonds and a lovely petal shape formation underneath the main stone. This unfortunately cannot be achieved with a stone under the 1.00ct. And sometimes my job to bring a happy lady back down earth. My finished sketch for the client is of a 5 carat Cushion cut center diamond with just beautiful proportions. I had so much fun and look forward to see the finished product.

To be honest a 1.00ct to 1.50ct diamond is much easier to wear everyday than a 5.00ct (lifestyle depending of course). So if a 5.00ct or a 16 carat diamond is not for now, a smaller gem will can still be crafted to a stunning, gorgeous finish custom designed ring.
