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 – like emeralds, by the way. This is why some 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 soldering the two claw settings 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. From now on, the two special gemstones will always get enough light to be able to fully exploit the full 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. Thanks very much! It looks great and is beautifully made! …”
