Sapphire and Diamond Engagement Ring




My client was getting engaged and wanted a ring to have a deep personal connection with his fiancé. He knew that she loved pink and so we designed this ring together. I first thought that the center gem should be surrounded solely with pink sapphires, but we then decided to add a mixture of diamond and sapphire pavé. I was very proud of the end-piece and my client’s fiancé loved the piece.

The piece was entirely hand-made. I designed a model in 3-D software. The 3-D render is shown below.


In the end, I hand carved the model from wax to ensure that the ring’s lines were soft and sexy.

Pink Sapphire and Pearl Pendant

pink sapphire pearl pendant
I made this pendant with a pair of wonderful mabe, saltwater pearls together with pink sapphires and set in 18K yellow gold. The pendant is symbolic of a mother and daughter relationship, the mother being the bottom pearl and the daughter the top pearl.  The mother and daughter are bound together by a field of love symbolized by the pink sapphires.  The pink luminescence in the pearls complements and reflects the sapphires, showing the strength of union between the mother and her daughter.
The hues and lustre in these very large pearls are breathtaking. The piece was a joy to make, and hopefully a joy to wear.

Sapphire Flower Earrings

This is a set of blue and white 18 kt gold and sapphire flower earrings that I recently made for a client. These earrings can be made with diamonds or white sapphire surrounding stones. Not many people realize that you can get white sapphires that rival the elegance of diamonds.

Sapphire Cufflinks


These are white gold, sapphire cufflinks. I added a small diamond on the button piece to add a touch of flair. The sapphires have a remarkable clarity, weigh 5.5 cts and have a wonderful fire to them. The cufflinks are quite special and can make you stand out from across the room.
