If you are a modern woman who likes to move away from tradition, you won’t be restrained by custom or trends and if you happen to follow your birthstone, this could form the basis of an engagement ring design. Here are a few ideas to contemplate.
Twisted Bands
If you want an engagement ring that draws the eye, a gold and platinum twisted band would be about as unique as you can get. The intertwining of the two precious metals symbolises the union in a brilliant way. Talk to a leading custom jeweller with a studio in Sydney and they can show you some stunning images of previous projects, including twisted bands.
Sapphire & Rubies
The perfect deep colour contrast, a fancy blue sapphire surrounded by an arrangement of blood-red rubies would make for a wonderful engagement ring. The cushion cut is ideal for the central sapphire, with an excellent cut grade, while the rubies should be round cut. The custom jeweller has all the solutions and would have created quite a few sapphire-ruby combinations, which gives you a starting point.
Garnet & Champagne Diamonds
If you are naturally attracted to garnet, you certainly aren’t alone and a large garnet surrounded by champagne Argyle diamonds would make for a stunning symbol of the union. You can find and buy garnet stone when you approach a custom jeweller, who has access to the best quality gemstones at wholesale prices, which saves you around 15%. Garnet has a rating of 6.0 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it suitable for a central stone and the range of colours includes, reds, greens, with blues being the rarest and most valuable.
Single Black Diamond Set In Yellow Gold
This is a real head-turner and perfect for the woman who doesn’t follow trends; you get to choose the black diamond in raw and uncut form, then discuss the cut with the jewellery maker, who can build the design using 3D imagery. If you love the raunchy contrast of black and gold, this is the ring for you. Perfect for the gothic girl, you could replace the gold with platinum for a futuristic look; you either love of hate black diamonds, there’s no in between.
Asscher Cut Emerald In A Rose Gold Setting
Once you see an image of such a ring, it will be hard to look any further, especially if you love deep green; acquire a fancy stone on the wholesale market and let the custom jeweller create a work of art. Pear shape with a marquise cut would be a great combination; decide on a budget for the ring and approach a jewellery maker.
The above are just a few ideas and the custom jeweller has hundreds of images to give you a little inspiration, with your input, the perfect engagement ring awaits! Once the jeweller knows your budget, he can start giving you some ideas and the right design will be discovered.
