A custom diamond ring with an unusual story — told by Scott’s Custom Jewelers.
On the surface, this custom diamond ring is certainly stunning.
A crisscross of diamond bands.
A yellow princess-cut diamond accented with a custom diamond halo.
Beautiful.
But the story goes deeper than just a ring.
A Yellow Diamond With a Meaningful Story
The intense yellow diamond started out as a beloved pet dog.
After he passed, the couple sent the dog’s cremated remains to a company that specialized in manufacturing ashes into diamonds.
No kidding — the company is legit.
It took almost a year, but then one day, this gorgeous yellow diamond arrived in the mail, complete with authenticity papers.
Designing the Perfect Custom Diamond Ring
The couple knew they wanted a diamond ring, but the design had to be perfect.
So they made an appointment at Scott’s Custom Jewelers, and the fun began!
Scott listened to their story and used CAD, or computer-aided design technology, to work directly with them on the style.
The band, when worn on her finger, looks like legs, while the yellow diamond center looks like the body.
This actually happened by accident, but it ended up being a terrific part of the overall design.
How CAD Helps Bring Custom Jewelry to Life
Scott has been using CAD to custom design rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets for over 10 years.
He and his staff have become quite good at guiding customers through the jewelry design process.
It’s not a “plug and chug” process where there is a catalog of styles to customize with center stones.
Scott has perfected the custom jewelry design process so that customers not only end up with amazing custom jewelry, but also have a great, stress-free time creating it.
Seeing the Ring Before It Was Made
During the jewelry design process, Scott created pictures of the ring and sent them to the customers by email.
Then, after some tweaking — not twerking, way, way different! — Scott used our 3D printer to make a polymer model of the jewelry.
He painted the model silver and placed the diamonds in it so she could see the jewelry on her hand before it was even cast into gold.
This important step really helps customers visualize their custom jewelry before the final piece is made.
From Model to Finished White Gold Ring
After the model was approved, Scott made another polymer model and cast the piece into white gold.
Jon, our awesome bench jeweler, set all of the diamonds, including the special yellow diamond.
A Custom Ring Worth Remembering
The finished piece looked fabulous.
When the couple came to pick it up, it was hard not to shed a few tears.
Okay, some tears were shed. We’re animal lovers here.
But happy tears are fine.
And being able to make this jewelry dream come true was wonderful.
