Here is a recent design that was a collaboration between myself and the client. We played with a number of designs and layouts of diamonds and arrived at this lovely design. We cast in .950 Palladium and set some of our diamonds (the bigger ones), then incorporated the small diamonds on the sides of the ring, from an heirloom brooch that had been handed down to my client. She got the bling she wanted with the top diamonds, and the sentimentality she wanted with the heirloom diamonds on the sides. Very special, and very beautiful!!

If you have family diamonds or jewelry that you don’t wear, bring them in!! Let’s see if we can re-design and re-mount the stones that you have in a special, custom piece designed for YOU!!

We just completed this simple, elegant .950 palladium “Halo” style diamond engagement ring. The ring features a gorgeous 1.85ct classic Square Cushion Brilliant cut diamond center. This beautiful style of ring design is popular and for a reason, it’s simply elegant!! The halo complements the center diamond and the thin band of diamonds in the shank add just enough sparkle! I believe she is certain to say “YES” when he pops the question!!

I recently completed this super cool palladium filigree style diamond engagement ring. My client gave me a lot of creative license to come up with a design for her. This is what we arrived at. 1.20ct Round Brilliant cut center diamond and about .30ctw of small diamonds set throughout the ring. I was very happy with the result and my client i thrilled with her new ring!!!

This super cool engagement ring was created in 14K white Gold with hand made Rose Gold heart elements in the gallery under the diamond. This John Franklin Jewelers custom piece also featured elegant & expert hand engraving. The ring has a real “old world” feel to it. Very classic and feminine. The client was very happy and we were excited to deliver the piece.
