A Custom Ring with Mom's Diamond

Our client's princess cut diamond with her mom's round diamond pendant.
 
 
This design project was a special one: our client came to us with her mother--another former client who we had made a sapphire and diamond statement ring for several years ago. With three diamonds from an old necklace, we used two to flank a center cushion cut sapphire we sourced for this design. 
 
Our client's mom's ring we custom made several years ago.
 
With only two diamonds used in this design, one remained--and our client brought in her mom's stone along with her own princess cut diamond wanting a new ring she could wear every day. 
After talking through several design options and sketches, we landed on a design that mirrored her mom's custom ring. 
The final, finished design.
 
The combination of the open and closed bezel settings, as well as the open gallery of the ring, not only allows more light in for the stones to sparkle a little brighter, but the design was specifically made to fit her active lifestyle and desire to "rarely take her ring off".
