Megan’s Customized Pendant

Megan’s Customized Pendant

Sometimes, jewellery pieces can be more than simple accessories. They can be symbolic such as representing the eternal bond of marriage or even a memory of our loved ones.

We received a request to customize a pendant jewellery piece with a special meaning.

Megan previously purchased an engagement ring from us and approached us again to customize a pendant.

The pendant to be a memory for her late dog, Scramble.

In the design, she requested for,

-          27 diamonds, to represent the year which Scamble moved on.

-          “KK” logo, Scramble’s personal trademark.

-          A cylinder with a screw cap, to keep a part of Scramble.

Megan shared the story of Scramble with us. Megan adopted 2 dogs in 2010, Scramble and Skippy. Scramble, being the older dog was nicknamed “Kor Kor” and hence the symbol “KK”.

This is a photo of Scramble with he was adopted.

Weak in nature since young, taking care of Scramble was a demanding process for Megan and her family both physically and financially.

Megan never gave up on Scramble though. She continued to do everything that she could to take care of him. Being able to see him grow day by day and to celebrate his birthdays yearly, was the motivational factor behind Megan’s each and every sacrifice.  

She even joked with us that with Scramble’s high medical bills, she had also called him “Kor Kor Chanel”.

Scrambles day out!

Scramble’s last few weeks

Things took a change for the worst back in September 2014 when Scramble was struck with a brain infection. This left Scramble without the ability to function normally and required 24/7 supervision from Megan and her family to ensure his well-being.     

Though this was a tedious and demanding process, Megan and her family didn’t opt for the option to put Scramble down as physically he was not in any pain or distress.

After weeks of fighting, in September 22^nd, a day after Megan’s 27th birthday, Scramble left the family in his sleep.

Learning about Scramble and the meaning behind the pendant, we were honoured to help Megan design this special pendant for her. Keeping the symbolic features and functions she wanted, we came up with the following design.

It was a touching and rewarding experience for us to help Megan design and craft her pendant. Each of our jewellery pieces carries a special meaning behind it.

Setting Octagon into a ring, pictures included!

Octagon Hearts and Arrows

Yes… It’s finally here…..

The world’s first Octagon Hearts and Arrows diamond!!!

After 2 years of research and development, we finally launched the Octagon Hearts and arrows diamond.

(For those who have not seen it, check out this video!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGUzmCehw5c&feature=youtu.be)

Featuring 88 facets, 8 hearts, 8 arrows and 8 sides, the Octagon diamond not only flaunts a unique shape that is rarely seen on diamonds, but with outrageous performance that even surpasses our Super Ideal diamonds!

Here’s a little sneak peak on its beauty!

Performance under the scopes

Ok Ok, enough about the diamond alone. This blog is about customizations and I am sure many of you would like to see how it looks like being set in.

Being unique in shape, other than being able to be set into different types of setting, it can also be set in different orientations as well. 

Guess alot of you might be confused by this. No worries! Our kind designers have specially “volunteered” to render out a few designs, to complement this beauty as well as showcase how the Octagon diamond can be set in with different orientations. 

(To all my clients who have been asking me for these, here you go!!)

Classic 

Side Diamonds

For both Classic and Side Diamonds settings, you can have a choice of Single or Double prongs.

Top pick from me would be the double prongs!

Ms D's 5 Stone Ring

Ring designs more often than not, revolve around the idea of showcasing the beauty of a single solitaire diamond. In this post, we are to going to share a customization process that is a little different. A custom setting that is made to house 5 diamonds!

Having done a few designs where 5 diamonds were used as the main stones, coming out with a design like this isn’t new to our designers.    

However, our client Ms D wanted something different. A new design that will boast the following features:

• More curves adding to a more feminine look
• Less details around prongs to show off more of the diamond’s side profile
• Utilizing lesser prongs for a less overall chunky look (while maintaining diamond security of course)

With this in mind, our designers created these 3D designs.

    

After approval, we proceed to craft the wax mould of the ring, for it to be crafted in gold.

Below are the specifications of the diamonds.

• A 0.63 F VS2 as the main stone
• 2 X 0.42 G VS1 Diamonds as the outer shoulder stones
• 2 X 0.52 F VS2 Diamonds as the inner shoulder stones

After 4 exciting weeks, this is the final product!

Julian's Ring Customization Process

We met Julian in July 2014, when he approached us to help him create his perfect diamond ring.

He sat through our education session, which includes the use of the HCA tool, Ideal scope, ASET scope and Hearts & Arrows scope. After, his eyes were set on a Super Ideal Cut 0.45 D VVS1 diamond.

In this post, we will be sharing his ring customization journey and how we came about crafting his perfect ring!

This is his story…….

Games of Thrones Theme

Julian’s perfect ring revolves around a few key points:

1) Infinity symbol

     - Symbolizes the eternal bond shared amongst the 2 of them

2) Twisted band setting
3) Moon of my life, Sun & Stars

Julian’s Sketch & Concept

One of the most challenging areas was to fit their initials into the infinity sign. The space is just too small to fit them in!

Version 1

We then created his first 3D render. This helped Julian to visualize how the actual ring design will look like. Using this as a baseline, we further discussed on additional features to customize.

Although we could not fit their initials under the underneath the diamond, we could craft them on the band’s shoulder. After a few modifications, this was his final render.

Final Version

Wax Model

Julian confirmed the design render with us and we proceeded to handcraft his ring. After a few weeks, his ring finally arrived.

Actual Ring

In total, 2 months of sketching, designing and crafting, Julian was finally able to lay his hands on the ring that he had envisioned to create for his fiancée.
