Custom Emerald-cut Diamond Ring








Celebrating an important anniversary requires a celebratory ring, especially when you live in Celebration, Florida! We helped a wonderful couple from Celebration create this beautiful ring.
First we worked with the couple to select three beautifully matched Emerald-cut diamonds. The center diamond weighs over 3.0 carats and the side diamonds are just over 1.6 carats in total. They were carefully selected to match in color, cut and clarity, as well as shape and proportions.
To showcase the diamonds, we custom created a platinum ring inspired by our Regal Elegance design. The surfaces of the ring were expertly hand engraved with a cascading foliage design and accented with seven small diamonds. For an added touch of elegance, we milgrained the edges of the band.
The diamonds are set in sturdy four-prong heads that are angled and tapered slightly outward. The diamonds were carefully positioned in the hand-crafted settings with the center diamond set slightly above the side diamonds. The result is a beautiful, flowing arrangement of gems across the top of the ring. Note the thickness of the band and the strength of the settings. This ring was hand crafted to last a lifetime and become a family heirloom that will be passed from generation to generation.
The inside of the ring is as beautiful as the top. The undersides of the settings are sturdy and well crafted. The inner surfaces are beautifully polished and the edges slightly rounded to create a comfortable fit.

No fine jewel is complete without the hallmark of the maker and the precious metal marks. Inside the band you can see Bijoux Extraordinaire's registered maker's mark ("BEL") and the precious metal mark for the purity of the platinum ("PLAT"). These marks are your assurance of elegant design, uncompromising craftsmanship and superior grade gemstones and metals.
