AB-superb technical marvel

This is probably one of my truly breathtaking concepts ever, I actually challenged myself to show my client that I can deliver stunning designs that she is used to from another premier design house in the city. And at the end of it all she was quite impressed and came for another piece to be created.

One of things the client was looking for, was something truly amazing, and what is more amazing than a one of a kind hand crafted piece by DGZdesigns. We created a jacket to match her existing white gold engagement ring with multi-stones in the sides, it was quite a challenge since the existing ring has a specific design aspect. Swirly on the one side and a more boxy shaped on the other, with the center diamond set in the middle. So making a jacket on a 2 completely different shaped sides would be for sure a challenge but the finished product is such a display of wearable art both technically and beauty.

The piece started out with a hand cut wax impression from my goldsmith that I later on re-cut to be closer to the initial concept. The goldsmith doubted that the wax can be cutted to the actual sketch so I re-cut his wax and achieved the final mould to be used. Set with 2 .07ct RBC diamonds on either side would give this jacket just enough brilliance to complement the diamonds on the engagement ring. One of the diamonds is set on a channel to continue the boxy shape on that side and the other diamond was set in a half bezel to compliment the swirl on the opposite side. The design was accented with a signature touch of treated blue diamonds on the bottom shank, joining the 2 sides.

This would always be one of my favorite pieces due to the true artwork that was created.
