Bespoke Jewellery; Marquise Cluster Diamond Engagement Ring
Crafting this bespoke jewellery piece, a marquise cluster diamond engagement ring, was a delightful and intricate journey, evolving from a series of inspirations and ideas. When my client approached me, they brought an array of pictures of diamond rings they admired, each carrying elements of delicacy and elegance. I love when a client comes to me with such a clear vision because it allows us to collaborate on a truly bespoke jewellery journey.
We began with an exploration of different designs, drawing on the elements that resonated with my client. It’s one of the most exciting parts of the bespoke jewellery process: translating a client’s dreams into a tangible, wearable reality. As I sketched, I worked to honor the delicate details my client loved while ensuring that the ring would be resilient enough to withstand the years ahead. After all, bespoke jewellery should be more than beautiful; it should last a lifetime.
In my experience as a jewellery designer, I know how important it is to balance beauty with durability, especially in the places you don’t immediately see, like the back of the band. A band that’s only a millimeter wide may look fragile and elegant, but it simply won’t stand the test of time. With this in mind, I crafted the band to a depth and width that would support everyday wear while still achieving that delicate look my client adored.
This particular bespoke jewellery design centers on a stunning marquise diamond set in rose gold. My client was drawn to the warmth and romance of rose gold, and to enhance the brilliance of the central diamond, I suggested setting the surrounding stones in platinum. Not only does platinum contrast beautifully with rose gold, but it also enhances the cool white sparkle of the diamonds. Moreover, platinum is more hard-wearing than white gold, making it the perfect choice to house the diamonds securely in this bespoke piece.
To further elevate the design, the shoulder diamonds are set in a trefoil formation, creating a graceful flow that draws the eye directly to the central marquise. This subtle touch is a nod to the unique, personalized nature of bespoke jewellery, where every element is thoughtfully curated to tell a story. Even from the side, the ring's profile is clean and elegant, allowing the brilliance of the diamonds to be the focal point without any distractions.
This marquise cluster diamond ring is not just a piece of jewellery; it’s a true expression of bespoke craftsmanship, balancing elegance with durability, romance with practicality. Every angle, material, and setting choice was made to honor my client’s vision and create a piece that will endure as beautifully as the love it represents. This is the magic of bespoke jewellery: it’s not just about creating a ring but bringing a deeply personal story to life, one that will be treasured for generations.
