Some commissions stay with you long after they leave the workshop. This bespoke trilogy ring, created for two of our wonderful clients right here at our Harrogate showroom, is one of them.
At its centre sits a rare 3.50ct oval cut Fancy Brown diamond, a genuinely exceptional natural coloured diamond, flanked by two natural pear cut diamonds, all set by hand in warm 18ct yellow gold. It's the kind of piece that reminds us exactly why we love bespoke jewellery design so much.
Why bespoke engagement rings start with the stone
Every bespoke engagement ring we create in Harrogate begins the same way: with the stone itself. For this commission, sourcing a natural fancy coloured diamond of this rarity and quality took real time and care. Fancy brown diamonds are prized for their warmth and depth of colour, and no two are ever quite the same, which is exactly what made this centre stone so special.
We talked our clients through everything, colour intensity, cut quality, and how the diamond would sit and catch light once set, so they could choose with complete confidence and full understanding of what they were investing in.
From concept to CAD: designing a bespoke ring in Harrogate
Once the diamonds were chosen, the design process moved into CAD (computer-aided design). This stage is where a bespoke engagement ring really starts to take shape, allowing our clients to see an accurate, three-dimensional model of their ring before a single piece of gold is cast. We refined the trilogy setting together, balancing the proportions of the pear cut side stones against that rare centre diamond, until the design felt exactly right.
Expertly set by our goldsmith
From CAD, the design was brought to life by our goldsmith here in the UK, hand-finishing and setting each diamond with the precision this kind of commission demands. Setting a rare fancy coloured diamond alongside natural pear cut side stones takes real skill, every claw, every angle considered, to ensure the finished ring does justice to the diamonds within it.
