After all the efforts of her previous academic year under pandemic conditions, a young student from the beautiful Rhineland wanted to reward herself with a very personal gem: a golden morganite ring.
morganite are gems from the berylgroup – as are emeralds. Some people therefore also call this exotic stone “pink emerald”. It comes in many beautiful, more or less intense pastel shades, but mostly in a delicate pink.

Our customer deliberately chose a ring made of 750/- yellow gold with gemstones made of two rather pale pink or almost champagne-colored morganites in very different cuts from our studio decided: One in a faceted teardrop cut and the second in a faceted octagon cut.
Our customer even made the long journey from the Rhineland to our beautiful Vogelsberg with her mother to coordinate all the details with me on site in my studio. In this way, I was able to find out first-hand which color of the precious metal, which type and intensity of gemstones, which shape of the ring band and which ring size perfectly matched the ideas and wishes of my customer.
After the short weekend appointment, all the details were fixed and I was able to order all the materials and the desired gemstones from my suppliers. And my customer and her companion were able to enjoy the beautiful ride back home from the Vogelsberg via the Sauerland and the Westerwald full of anticipation.
In addition to the unusual, upright ring band - which makes the ring appear particularly delicate on the finger - the two elaborate claw settings are also worth mentioning, each of which is sawn out of a previously made, initially closed setting to fit the respective gemstone perfectly:

After the two prong settings were soldered to the ring band, the settings were notched on the inside and the pointed edges of the gemstones were finally "clamped" there and thus securely anchored. This means that from now on, the two special gemstones will always receive enough light to fully exploit the brilliance and sparkle of the two different types of cut.
From my point of view, this has resulted in a wonderfully feminine ring that our customer will hopefully enjoy for a very long time and that will hopefully make the efforts of this challenging academic year quickly forgotten...

Apparently we met the taste of our young customer quite well:
"... the ring has arrived. Thank you very much! It looks great and is beautifully crafted! ..."
Interesting Facts about Morganite
Morganite is a fascinating gemstone characterized by its delicate pink to peach coloring. A variety of the mineral beryl, which also includes emerald and aquamarine, morganite owes its unique coloring to the presence of manganese in its chemical composition. This gemstone is often referred to as the "stone of divine love" because its warm tones are associated with feelings of affection, harmony and emotional healing.
Morganite was discovered in Madagascar at the beginning of the 20th century. It was named after the American banker and gemstone collector JP Morgan, a major promoter of mineralogy. In addition to Madagascar, there are other locations where it is found, such as Brazil, the USA and Afghanistan. Morganite is characterized by its transparency and shine, which give it an elegant and luxurious appearance. The more intense the color, the higher its value.
Morganite is mainly used in jewelry and is particularly popular with lovers of pastel-colored gemstones. It is ideal for rings, pendants and earrings and is a popular alternative to classic diamonds in engagement rings. Due to its hardness of 7,5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, it is relatively durable, but should be protected from extreme impacts.
Morganite has not only aesthetic significance but also spiritual significance. It is often considered a stone of the heart, said to promote compassion and calm. Its gentle aura makes it a gemstone that not only embodies beauty but also conveys a deeper emotional connection.
