CUSTOM MEDALLION

Wishing to incorporate the engraved central monogram from her father's signet ring, this client turned to

Diamonds On The Key to "co-design" a medallion pendant, which she could wear every day, as a remembrance of her beloved dad. Sample images of pendants were studied, as the client did not want something "typical looking" or a plain round disc. A wavy border was decided upon and a bold 1.25 inch diameter drawn. In addition to the monogram, other significant pieces of jewelry were incorporated into the design, such as the diamond from both her original engagement ring and her grandmother's, plus diamonds from the first ring she received from her husband.  

With careful planning, the top monogram was delicately hand cut by a laser, away from the shank of the man's ring, to become the "focal central design" of the new pendant. All diamonds were unset from the rings and arranged in a pleasing pattern by size. After approving the computerized CADD design, the pendant was cast in 18 karat gold, with the four corners of the monogram gently rounded by hand and laser fused into the center of the pendant.  The diamonds were burnish and bezel set, with the entire front of the pendant receiving a "matte finish" by hand and the back side being "high polished". An endearing message in French was hand engraved on the back side and a top bale installed, which was large enough to accommodate an heirloom gold chain, that would be received from her grandmother.  

The end result was a client "blown away" and "elated" with the fine attention to detail given each step of the way, yielding a one of a kind, custom made new medallion, which incorporates generations of family heirloom jewels. The client plans to wear the pendant often as her new "signature" piece of jewelry.  

CUSTOM CREATION OF REPLACEMENT CROSS

After a symbolic and unique style cross, decades old and received from a dear friend, was taken from this client during a hospital stay, the client turned to Diamonds On The Key, in hopes of replacing it.  A rough sketch of the cross was drawn from memory, with the following description: The cross had angled edges, with tiny raised squares, placed in a random pattern across the front surface and the cross had a "rough, textured finish". It was not high polished.  

The sketch and details were then fed into a computer, to generate two CADD designs, from which the client selected the one, which most resembled the missing cross. The design was cast in 14 karat yellow gold, with a "sandblast finish" applied by hand. 

The final result was a client "overjoyed" with his new cross, which looked almost identical to his original one! The cross was promptly blessed at a local church, and suspended on a brand new sturdy gold chain, to wear every day.

EARRING REPAIR AND RING TRANSFORMATION

Unhappy with a pair of gemstone earring that had a dark, black rhodium finish, this client turned to Diamonds On The Key for ideas and brainstorming. Additionally, a beloved but dated Smokey Topaz ring, handed down from a relative, was also brought in, together with an “inspirational ring design” clipped out from a magazine. 

After examining the gems in the earrings, they were found to be colored diamonds and the opportunity to utilized more colored diamonds, to frame the smokey topaz, and coordinate the current earring style with the new ring design was approved! A wax mold was then created for the client to try on and cast in 14K White Gold. Colored Diamonds were sourced, and matched for the ring.  The blackened finish of the earrings was steam cleaned and removed, with new white gold plating to match the ring. The result was a fresh and beautiful new set of earrings and statement ring!
