Best of 2025
This past year was defined by creativity, collaboration, and an extraordinary range of custom designs. From heirloom recreations and vintage-inspired engagement rings to nature-driven motifs and intricate hand engraving, each piece reflects the individuality of the wearer and the skill of the artists who brought it to life. Together, these designs represent a year of thoughtful craftsmanship, meaningful stories, and some of our most inspired work yet.
Art Nouveau Rose Gold Engagement Ring
This Art Nouveau–inspired ring is crafted in rose gold and features a bezel-set Old European cut diamond, finished with delicate milgrain border. A sculptural, multi-strand design and hand-engraved details bring movement and emphasis to every curve.
This custom ring was created for @sewstine on YouTube, whose vision guided the design from the very beginning. Drawn to the iconic whiplash curves of the Art Nouveau era—particularly the work of Hector Guimard—she shared early sketches and ideas that shaped the flowing, sculptural form. That inspiration carried through every stage of the process, resulting in a design that feels both intentional and deeply personal.
Sculptural Engagement Ring
A radiant diamond takes center stage, surrounded by pear, marquise, and round accent diamonds tucked into sculptural scrollwork. Hand-engraved details flow through the design, while a fleur-de-lis motif emerges in the gallery, framed by elegant, sweeping curves beneath the setting.
Mushroom Engagement Ring
A round diamond emerges from a sculptural cluster of platinum and hand-fabricated 14k yellow gold mushroom caps, each accented with flashes of melee diamonds. Hand-engraved lines trace the stems as they taper, twist, and intertwine to form the band, finished with a mix of textures that brings the entire woodland-inspired design to life.
Botanical Vine Sapphire Ring
Softly sculpted and rich in detail, this two-tone ring centers on a cabochon oval sapphire in a leaf-accented setting that feels both protective and poetic. Hand-fabricated yellow gold vines and leaves wind across the platinum form, their Florentine engraving adding texture and depth as they travel most of the way around the ring. A mix of polished and stippled finishes brings the botanical design to life.
Recreated Antique Diamond Ring
This platinum ring was thoughtfully recreated from a client’s damaged antique original, preserving the spirit and character of the heirloom while giving it new life. A pierced top plate showcases bead- and prong-set diamonds arranged in an intricate cluster, framed by delicate milgrain and scrolling details.
“The clients came to us with an insurance claim to repair their antique ring, but due to extensive damage, previous repairs, and a century of wear, a traditional repair wouldn’t have been successful. The undergallery had begun separating from the top plate, so we decided to remake the ring using new material, with a few structural adjustments for longevity. Using the original diamonds and many of the same techniques used to create the antique, the new piece is now ready to be passed down for another century.” -Jeweler/Designer Nathan K.
Ginkgo Leaf Montana Sapphire Engagement Ring
An exceptional 8.93 carat radiant Montana sapphire anchors this vintage-inspired platinum engagement ring, its rich green hue framed by hand-fabricated ginkgo leaves and intricate hand engraving. Milgrain edges and bead-set diamond melee trace the soft knife-edge band, adding subtle sparkle and texture throughout. Delicate diamond-filled leaf details and organic swirls complete the basket gallery, creating a design that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in nature.
Lotus Motif Radiant Diamond Engagement Ring
Handcrafted in 18kt yellow gold, this engagement ring centers a radiant-cut diamond secured in a bold four-prong setting with distinctive double-pointed prongs. Pear, kite, and round diamonds are artfully clustered along each shoulder, drawing the eye toward the center with petal-like elegance. Pierced lotus motifs with diamond accents adorn the side faces, while hand-engraved scrollwork and soft milgrain edges.
Princess Sapphire Halo Engagement Ring
This platinum engagement ring is a vintage recreation centered around a bezel-set princess-cut sapphire. A bead-set halo frames the center stone, with clusters of custom-cut sapphires on either side. Hand-engraved half-wheat detailing and fine milgrain edges complete the design.
Teal Montana Sapphire Filigree Engagement Ring
This platinum engagement ring features an oval teal Montana sapphire set in a compass-style four-prong setting with delicate pointed prongs. Tapered shoulders are accented with pear-cut diamond melee, while intricate filigree curls and leaf motifs flow across the top of the shank. Marquise and pear-cut diamonds, hand-fabricated filigree beneath the bridge, engraved wheat detailing, and fine milgrain edges complete the design—creating a richly detailed ring with depth and elegance from every angle.
Architectural Ruby Band
Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this striking ring features an architectural design defined by pierced windows and arch-like openings that create depth and structure throughout the band. A cushion-cut ruby sits at the center in a kite-set frame with compass-style prongs, anchoring the design with rich color and balance. A matte finish paired with subtle hand engraving enhances the intricate details, giving this piece a bold, sculptural presence with thoughtful refinement.
Lotus & Filigree Diamond Engagement Ring
This 14kt yellow gold engagement ring showcases a round diamond in a classic four-prong setting, elevated by intricate detailing throughout. Lotus-inspired petal motifs and bead-set diamonds accent the north and south faces of the setting, while additional diamond melee trace the bridge for subtle sparkle from every angle. Hand-fabricated filigree curls, engraved lotus flowers and scrollwork, and fine milgrain framing complete the design, creating a richly detailed ring with timeless elegance and depth.
Classic from the top, intricate from the side. The gallery view reveals hand-engraved lotus flowers, flowing scrollwork, and two elegant filigree curls beneath the setting.
Symbolic Two-Tone Diamond & Gemstone Band
Raised motifs tell a story in the round: Detailed pairs of lions, eagles, and Stone Tablets are accented by pomegranates, palm fronds, willow and myrtle branches, and a menorah. Birthstone accents are interwoven through this intricate center panel —diamond, alexandrite, peridot, and aquamarine. Framing the central story panel are finely engraved gold rails with half-wheat patterning and milgrain edges, which complete the band with remarkable depth and precision.
