Tanzanite and Diamond Ring
This Tanzanite and Diamond ring is going to be the next piece I manufacture because I love it!
My goal with this piece was to make a ring that looked dainty and classical but had some real punch because of the depth of the Tanzanite.
The ring is designed around a 7mm trillion cut Tanzanite. The stone has a great deep purple-blue color and I wanted to highlight the stone without taking anything away from it’s beauty.
I chose a very classical simple design that uses 42 1.5mm full cut diamonds. The diamonds frame the stone and add some sparkle to it’s deep color. Diamonds also go down the split shank and give the dainty ring some sparkle!
The problem with a design like this are the size of the prongs. Some people would look at this design and say that the prongs are way too big. Unfortunately, in order to have a piece come out in casting, you have to maintain certain thicknesses (generally 0.7mm.)
The way you combat this problem is with a really good jeweler. The jeweler will shave off any excess gold on the prongs that he doesn’t need to safely set the stones.
I hope this ring will turn out as beautiful as I hope it will! Pics to come when it is finished.
