A custom diamond mother’s ring made of white and rose gold has a terrific story behind it.
When Julie tragically lost her young husband several years ago, after only six months of marriage, she wasn’t ready to put her wedding ring away.
She continued wearing it on her right hand to honor her short marriage.
Turning a Wedding Ring Into Something New
Life has a way of going on, and Julie eventually found herself in a new relationship.
While she didn’t want to look married, she also didn’t want to change the ring too much.
She was living in Columbus, OH at the time and stopped into our store, Scott’s Custom Jewelers, to talk about custom jewelry options.
She met with our son, Zack, and told him her story. She loved what we could do, but unfortunately, she was moving.
To Akron!
So she decided to settle into the area first and visit our Fairlawn, OH store after the move.
Creating a Custom Mother’s Ring
A few months later, Julie made an appointment and showed up with her gorgeous newborn baby daughter.
Seriously, the baby could be a model — she’s that stunning!
We talked about what Julie loved about her ring and what she wanted to change.
Her original wedding set included:
- A pretty diamond halo band
- More diamonds on the sides
- Two matching diamond wedding bands
I came up with the idea of creating a custom mother’s ring using multiple bands and incorporating her daughter’s birthstone, which was sapphire.
Why Sapphire Was the Perfect Choice
Just a side note: did you know that sapphires come in every color of the rainbow?
They are also extremely hard, almost as hard as diamonds, which makes them very good for rings.
That’s why, in Europe, sapphires — like the famous Princess Diana and Duchess Kate ring — are more popular than diamonds for engagement rings.
Honoring the Past While Celebrating the Future
Scott came over to goo at the baby and suggested that we simply separate the wedding bands from the set and use them in the multi-band design.
Not only would it save a lot of money, which we all love, but it would also honor Julie’s marriage.
We decided to use lovely rose gold for the other two bands and add a pink sapphire for the baby, along with the engagement diamond.
We also used all of the extra halo and side diamonds from the original engagement ring.
A Meaningful Custom Mother’s Ring
The finished mother’s ring was amazing.
Julie said she loved that she could still see her original wedding rings in the piece.
The addition of her daughter’s birthstone made it feel even more personal to her.
And now, her story could continue.
It’s always about the story.
