Start with a Stone
Choose the center of gravity before the ring takes shape.
Choose the center of gravity before the ring takes shape.
For clients who are drawn first to color, depth, or energy, the stone becomes the beginning of the design. Choose the center of gravity: salt and pepper diamond, black diamond, moissanite, moonstone, garnet, sapphire, opal, or something rarer.
Once the stone is selected, we shape the silhouette around it: prongs, band width, metal color, profile, and proportion. The goal is not to force a stone into a standard design, but to build the setting that makes it feel inevitable.
After the stone and setting direction are clear, we refine scale, metal, texture, and wearability. The final piece should feel like it grew from the stone instead of being forced around it.
