Superior Craftsmanship And Attention To Often Neglected Details

Quality and craftsmanship are important to our clients. But how can you determine the quality of a jeweler's work? Here are some details that are often neglected by ring setters.

Seamless Design

When there is a dark gap between the diamond and the setting, your eye focuses on the dark gap; it takes away from the beautiful, sparkling diamond.

In this video, Vanessa demonstrates how she sets the proportions of the setting and the position of the diamond to make the ring look seamless from any angle.

Prongs That Disappear Into The Center Stone

Maximizing Brilliance

The secret to making a diamond ring sparkle from every angle is that every stone in the setting needs to be hand selected to match in quality and proportions so they look identical and fit snugly together.

Each stone in the setting needs to be set so they are practically touching. The uniformity and positioning of the diamonds make the ring sparkle from every angle.

Polishing the metal inside the support basket, under the diamond is typically not done with most rings purchased in retail stores because no one can really tell. This small detail adds that extra sparkle to the center diamond.

Comfort and Practicality

An engagement ring is a jewelry piece she will wear every day of her life so it should feel comfortable. Vanessa shapes the band and rounds edges so it molds to the shape on the finger.

Each prong on the stone setting is hand sculpted and polished so the prongs don't snag on fabric. Vanessa runs the ring through fabric to check if it catches.

Diamond Sourcing

Once you've decided on the type of diamond you want, Vanessa will typically look at three similar diamonds to make her recommendation. Three different stones can have the same characteristics on paper, but in person can look quite different. She'll walk you through the pros and cons of each diamond so you can make the best informed decision.

She also hand selects diamonds for the setting so that each diamond is proportional to the others and similar in color and quality. This is an often overlooked part of the process. But taking the time to pair diamonds properly makes a big impact on the overall sparkle of the ring and not paid attention to in custom jewelry design.

In fact, many clients have Vanessa create a diamond band for their wedding ring so that it matches the engagement ring in quality and fit.

Lab grown diamonds are growing in popularity. Vanessa will help you source and select a mined diamond or lab created diamond of your choice, ensuring you get a fair price.
