Over the past several months I have been dreaming up what I was going to create for Lesley for her birthday which was at the end of July. I knew that she loved both the Serendipity and Elaine’s Reverie, and had hinted more than once how much she would love a right hand ring based on that design in rose gold and platinum. We used Brian Gavin Signature melee and marquise cut diamonds, all F/G VS and each one was carefully hand bezeled. Because of the different melting points of rose gold and platinum the joining process was more complicated than we originally imagined it would be but I am sure that you will agree that it was a major success. Needless to say, Lesley is thrilled!! It was definitely one of our professional highlights for this year, and we are admittedly proud of the way it turned out in the end. I am going to let the pictures below do the talking!! Brian.
