“Entwined”: A Custom Platinum Engagement Ring

Born in the Sierra Nevada, California, this ring is an example of true custom collaboration. Joey approached me with an idea for a 14k white gold ring with an intertwining design. We elevated his concept and personalized it with a unique fair trade Pink Spinel from Sri Lanka and platinum. This ring was created entirely by hand- from design to completion. The spinel is hammer set for durability and surrounded by 1mm-0.6mm diamonds. Every aspect of this ring was made with the wearer in mind-it had to be durable for real life use, understated yet fine. The spinel was specifically chosen over a diamond or sapphire for its sultry, understated look. Durable, elegant and understated- this ring represents mastery in fine art jewelry and true custom design.
