Custom-Made 18 Karat Natural Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring
Crafting a custom engagement ring that embodies the customer’s personal style and creativity is a detailed and rewarding process. Here's a step-by-step outline of how this unique 18 Karat Natural Marquise Diamond Engagement Ring with a floral pattern in the head was made, from concept to completion:
Customer’s Design Vision and Consultation
The journey started with the customer having a clear vision for a distinctive engagement ring. They desired an elegant solitaire natural marquise diamond as the centerpiece, with three details:
1) The Marquise must be in an East-West orientation,
2) The head holding the diamond must have a floral pattern,
3) The unique design of the head must seamlessly be built into a cathedral style shank.
The choice of 18 Karat yellow gold was also key to their vision, enhancing the warmth and vintage feel of the design. During the consultation, details like the marquise diamond’s size, the complexity of the floral head design, and the overall aesthetic were discussed to capture the customer’s unique vision.
Creating a 3D Model with Computer Aided Design (CAD) Technology
Once the design concept was clear, the next step involved using computer-aided design (CAD) software to bring the customer’s ideas to life. The CAD model allowed the jeweler to translate the intricate floral pattern envisioned in the head of the ring into a realistic 3D rendering. Every detail of the floral design was fine-tuned, from the placement of petals to how the marquise diamond would be cradled in the floral head. The customer could visualize the ring from different angles, ensuring the proportions and aesthetics were exactly as desired before proceeding to production.
Casting in 18 Karat Yellow Gold
Once the 3D model was approved, the ring was ready to be cast. The choice of 18 Karat yellow gold, known for its rich color and durability, was essential to the design. A mold was created based on the 3D model, capturing both the band and the delicate floral details in the head. Molten 18 Karat yellow gold was poured into the mold, forming the base of the ring. After the gold cooled and solidified, the ring was carefully removed from the mold, revealing the floral pattern and marquise setting in its rough form. The gold was then polished to smooth out any imperfections, ensuring a refined finish.
Setting the Natural Marquise Diamond
The centerpiece of this custom engagement ring was the natural marquise diamond, chosen for its unique shape and brilliance. The marquise diamond was carefully set into the floral head design, with the petals framing the stone in a way that enhanced its elegance. The setting process required precision to ensure the diamond was securely held in place while maintaining the delicate floral aesthetic around it. The floral design not only added artistic beauty but also created a sense of balance around the diamond.
Final Polishing and Quality Inspection
After the marquise diamond was set, the entire ring was polished to a high shine. The 18 Karat yellow gold band was buffed to bring out its rich luster, while the floral head design was polished to highlight its details. Every aspect of the ring, from the symmetry of the marquise diamond to the refinement of the floral pattern, was carefully inspected to ensure the highest standards of craftsmanship.
The result was a custom-made engagement ring that perfectly captured the customer’s vision—a stunning 18 Karat yellow gold ring featuring a natural marquise diamond, nestled in a beautifully detailed floral head in an East-West orientation. This one-of-a-kind ring not only symbolized the customer’s unique style but also served as a timeless piece of artistry.
