Case Studies: Complications

Each of these one-of-a-kind pieces has been designated a Complication as a result of being either a marvel of metalsmithing or containing a gemstone stone so rare it took scouring the planet to locate.

Complication Ten

 
 

Brief

  • 2ct or larger Alexandrite

  • Rose Gold

  • Classic yet modern Setting

 

The Gem

Alexandrites are extremely rare stones whose per carat easily rivals a diamond of similar size.

Their claim to fame is their ability to be one color in one light and a completely different color in another light. Their value is depending solely of the intensity of each color and the degree of difference in color with going from a strong dark red to an equally strong dark green as the mist desired. It took using my resources abroad to locate this stunning 2.6ct well proportioned Alexandrite with its Exquisite red and green colors.

The Ring

With the client requesting Rose Gold the Ring started off with a contemporary foundation. Using the traditional 3 diamonds on each side of the center gem kept the classic engagement ring presentation however making the middle stone on each side an oval as oppose to round gives it that modern twist that has it be visually interesting.
