This is a stunning Asscher Diamond ring I custom designed and made for a couple in Texas. I called this design The Majestic because it makes such a bold and elegant statement. The center diamond is 3 ½ carats. The side diamonds weigh a total of 1 ½ carats. That's a total of 5 carats ! This is some serious bling !! I love Asscher Cut Diamonds and have created many different designs featuring this elegant style of cut. I hope that you too will deem this design worthy of its name. Judi

Recently we took a day trip to Maine to preview the jewelry at an estate auction. After viewing the jewelry, we visited one of our favorite Mid-Coast bakeries, Sweet Sensations in Rockport. As usual, we were tempted with a delicious assortment of Cinnamon Twists, Lemon Coconut Cake (my favorite), Praline Cookies, Macaroons and other delectable treats. Naturally we stocked up! If your visit to our Gallery in Manchester, New Hampshire includes a side trip to the Maine coast, be sure to visit Sweet Sensations Pastry Shop. It is the ideal destination for the committed sweet-tooth connoisseur! |

After assembling a fabulous layout of gemstones, working with our client through various design options, and hand crafting the ring, the final result is a stunning engagement ring and wedding band that not only showcases her beautiful Ruby, but also features a dazzling pair of trilliant diamonds and beautiful hand engraving. Her ring and band are truly miniature masterpieces, works of Art! There are many steps involved in creating a beautiful jewel of lasting quality and beauty, but the finished piece is definitely worth the time and care we take to create a ring you will admire and enjoy for many years. Tell us what you think of this design. If you have any questions about Rubies, the ring, or how the design can be tailored to your own lifestyle and taste, just send us an email ! Judi

After hiking up Mount Cardigan on July 6th , Art and I did some back road exploring and discovered a wonderful ice cream cafe in Bristol, New Hampshire. I must admit that I am somewhat of an ice cream junkie so this was indeed a wonderful find, especially after a good hike up the mountain. If you are visiting our wonderful state, be sure to check out The Mill Ice Cream Cafe and Fudge Factory. |
Hi Judi - Last year I hiked up Cardigan with some friends. The ledge scramble near the top was awesome. Next time I'll check out the ice cream parlour. Thanks for the tip. Mike from NY |

Dear Judi - I love the look of the Alluring Aquamarine Design. Is it possible to do something like this with a different gemstone, like Emerald? Also, can this be done in yellow gold? Nancy P. in St. Louis.
Hi Nancy. Thanks for your comment and question. The Alluring design would be stunning with a fine quality emerald. And if you prefer yellow gold, I would recommend building the band portion and the center head (prongs) in 18kt yellow gold, but lining the channel for the diamonds in platinum. Or the band can be made completely in yellow gold, including the channel walls. Regards, Judi |
