Process: This ring was designed for a couple who appreciate thoughtful design. The woman took her boyfriend to the gallery to share her preferences, saying, "I trust April's design sensibility, and now that you know what I like, figure it out from here."

After discussing his budget, I sourced beautiful, unique diamonds with older cuts from a trusted supplier. When it was time to cast the ring, the boyfriend visited the studio. Our lead goldsmith involved him in the casting process and even gave him a lesson on the laser welder. He was genuinely enthusiastic about the entire experience. After he proposed on the slopes, he brought her back to our studio to show her where her ring was made.
