Bombé Twist RingMay 2011 14 karat yellow gold, diamond A couple came to me to make a replacement engagement ring for the occasion of their 15th wedding anniversary. The original was a standard raised prong setting and had been re tipped several timesthe bride is a pianist, and the high set diamond kept hitting the keys when she played, twisting and breaking the prongs. They wanted a ring where the stone would sit lower and be less susceptable to being knocked loose,

an anticyclone almost three times as wide as the diameter of the Earth

He also wanted them to reflect his own personal credo

the yin/yang nature of the different phases also represents the different personalities of the couple

After some research and some okay options

and turquoise

and when the light hits them they really do have the fire of a lit match

no illusions

and the chain we used also had a gold tone to match

and because the waxing made it partially stiff

This classic look can be yours for far less at Edelstein Metalsmiths
