Ms D's 5 Stone Ring


Ring designs more often than not, revolve around the idea of showcasing the beauty of a single solitaire diamond. In this post, we are to going to share a customization process that is a little different. A custom setting that is made to house 5 diamonds!

Having done a few designs where 5 diamonds were used as the main stones, coming out with a design like this isn’t new to our designers.    




However, our client Ms D wanted something different. A new design that will boast the following features:


  • More curves adding to a more feminine look
  • Less details around prongs to show off more of the diamond’s side profile
  • Utilizing lesser prongs for a less overall chunky look (while maintaining diamond security of course)


With this in mind, our designers created these 3D designs.




    



After approval, we proceed to craft the wax mould of the ring, for it to be crafted in gold.


Below are the specifications of the diamonds.


  • A 0.63 F VS2 as the main stone
  • 2 X 0.42 G VS1 Diamonds as the outer shoulder stones
  • 2 X 0.52 F VS2 Diamonds as the inner shoulder stones

After 4 exciting weeks, this is the final product!

Julian's Ring Customization Process


We met Julian in July 2014, when he approached us to help him create his perfect diamond ring.

He sat through our education session, which includes the use of the HCA tool, Ideal scope, ASET scope and Hearts & Arrows scope. After, his eyes were set on a Super Ideal Cut 0.45 D VVS1 diamond.




In this post, we will be sharing his ring customization journey and how we came about crafting his perfect ring!

This is his story…….

Games of Thrones Theme

Julian’s perfect ring revolves around a few key points:

1) Infinity symbol
     - Symbolizes the eternal bond shared amongst the 2 of them
2) Twisted band setting
3) Moon of my life, Sun & Stars


Julian’s Sketch & Concept



One of the most challenging areas was to fit their initials into the infinity sign. The space is just too small to fit them in!

Version 1



We then created his first 3D render. This helped Julian to visualize how the actual ring design will look like. Using this as a baseline, we further discussed on additional features to customize.

Although we could not fit their initials under the underneath the diamond, we could craft them on the band’s shoulder. After a few modifications, this was his final render.

Final Version




Wax Model



Julian confirmed the design render with us and we proceeded to handcraft his ring. After a few weeks, his ring finally arrived.

Actual Ring



In total, 2 months of sketching, designing and crafting, Julian was finally able to lay his hands on the ring that he had envisioned to create for his fiancée.

JannPaul Diamonds Everything Brellia




The brellia has always been my favorite diamond all time. I still remember the day when i held the first prototype on my hands. To me, it was probably the same feeling people got when they first saw the first rocket launch into space!

Unlike any other cut, the brellia possesses everything anyone can ask for:

1. The X-factor
Cushion. Hearts and Arrows. Need I say more?

2.Brightness
The sheer brightness of the brellia even surpasses most rounds. It was made to show have such high brightness to enhance the whiteness and hence emphasize on the arrows.. Afterall, it's a cushion hearts and arrows! Show it off people 

3.Fire
This the department where everyone loves the brellia. The pavilions(arrows) are designed fatter to create large bold flashes of fire that people love to see from that distance.

4.Scintillation
Since the brellia is designed at the 57 facet mark just like rounds, it retains that balanced scintillation. It isn't made to be a gimmick. It's made to be balanced, perfect!

Till this day, the Brellia never fails to bore me! Always cute, always fashionable, you'll fall in love with this baby once you see it! Remember to always check it out even if your heart is set on a round!
