Redesigning a Family Heirloom Engagement Ring for Monique's Daughter
Monique asked us to create a delicate necklace for her teenaged daughter as a special gift for her 16th birthday using the white gold and central diamond from her mom's engagement ring.
We had a bit more white gold than needed to create just the bezel to securely hold the approximately half carat diamond, and so we also designed a petite charm with an engraving of a violet, which delicately hangs alongside the diamond pendant.
Connecting the generations through a piece like this is so satisfying and we loved creating this!

IN MONIQUE'S WORDS
[SHE] LOVES it!! She didn’t want to take off.
Thank you so much for creating this piece! I’m so happy that my mom’s ring isn’t just sitting in a box, and that this memento of my parents’ love lives on with their granddaughter. - Monique
