Brian Gavin Creates Magnificent Platinum 5 Stone Graduated Diamond Trellis Ring for Australian Customer…
Alani contacted us at the beginning of November with a reset project in mind:
Hi Denise, Leslie, Brian and friends! Hope you are all well and nice and busy leading up to Christmas. 🙂 I am currently researching the idea of resetting my engagement ring (1ct, in a simple solitaire setting) as I recently broke my wedding band and I'm not too sure if I want to stay with the traditional e ring / w band. I'm pretty hard on my rings and everything that I am drawn to with a lot of bling (pave, halos) isn't really right for my lifestyle. Anyway, I was thinking of resetting into a 3 stone, but then I'm not sure if that will be enough bling so I'm looking at a Graduated 5 stone using my current 1ct stone as the center.
Denise worked with Alani to come up with the best combination of diamond sizes to get the flowing, graduated look she was after and also worked on several different ideas for the setting. The final diamond specs were as follows:
- Center stone 1.05ct F SI1 is a GIA XXX round diamond.
- 2 x 0.423ct F SI1 Brian Gavin Signature Hearts and Arrows diamonds.
- 2 x 0.20ct F VS Brian Gavin Signature diamond melee.
Alani decided not to ship her center stone to us and searched to find a qualified local Australian jeweler to set it. We had all the measurements of the stone and were able to create the CAD with that information. We tweaked the center prongs to make sure that only the prongs showed from the top view, and that the trellis wires were not visible from the top. We sent the updated CAD, received approval and proceeded to caste the ring in platinum and then set the 4 side stones. We e-mailed Glamor Shots of the almost finished ring and then shipped it:
I picked up the package and the ring is beautiful! I can't wait until I get the center stone set…
A few days later we received this e-mail:
Hello Denise, Lesley, Brian and the team at BGD! I am please to let you know that the ring has been completed with the center stone being set today!! I am in love with the ring and it is exactly what I imagined it to be. It's amazing how you guys can take a drawing and bring it to life! The ring is just one ball of sparkle at the moment. It is really unbelievable! I find myself laughing every time I catch a glimpse of it because it is just so unreal. Thanks again, Alani.
