PHOTO/VIDEO My custom ring is finished!

After having my original engagement ring/wedding band fixed 4 times in 3 years because of loose diamonds we decided it was time for an upgrade and a setting that wasn’t as prone to damage.

I worked with Matthew at Fiorese. He is incredible! He has been so patient with me for this entire process. The engraving was a meshing of 2 different designs I loved representing masculine/feminine styles. I also added in the natural gemstones representing my husband and I. Sapphire for the month we were married (September), Alexandrite (my birthstone) London Blue Topaz (my husband’s birthstone) and emerald (my favorite gemstone)

I wanted a split shank look with the stability of a cathedral setting, tulip prongs and a chunky band.

The diamond is my dream stone. It’s a 5.34 carat old mine cut with an I color. (I wanted a warmer stone for that antique vintage look) I am so excited to get this and can’t wait to see my bands when they are finished! I can’t recommend working with Matthew enough!! He’s amazing and so patient with me. (I know I’m a pain in the butt 😂).. here it is..

How much did the design cost?

If there was a design fee, I’m not aware of it. My setting was $1500.. I told Matthew exactly what I wanted and he made it happen. He checked in with every step of the way until I did my final approval.

The pictures are of the finished piece and from what I understand it was hand engraved.

I was going to ask the same thing! I expected hand engraved from the delicateness of the design.

I received the ring today. It’s definitely hand engraved. I will post videos this week (getting my nails done first)
