Men's Wedding Band Description

This elegant men’s wedding ring features a Chatham yellow sapphire flush set at the top, accented by a brushed finish and custom hand engraving on the tapered palladium white gold shank. It was created for a client from Santa Barbara, CA, who initially reached out to us online to share the themes and ideas he wanted to incorporate into his unique piece. Design Your Own Wedding Ring

We discussed his options with him through the online workroom we set up to manage his project, and he also stopped by our Bellevue, WA showroom in person to continue the conversation with our team. Once we had a good idea of what he was looking for, we developed a unique design in CAD, and he was able to provide feedback on these models until he was sure every detail was perfect.

Sapphire Center

At the top of this ring, a 1.13 carat round yellow sapphire is bezel set in unplated 14k palladium white gold. The flush setting leaves the top of the stone at the same level as the surrounding metal, which keeps it protected from the hazards of everyday wear. It also helps stops the stone from overpowering the design while still showing off its gorgeous sparkle.

The choice of a yellow stone had special significance for the client, as his initial choice for the center was amber. As that type of gem is quite soft, it’s not an ideal choice for use in fine jewelry, but the client was happy to have the sapphire alternative, which worked in the color he wanted to use in a form that would hold up well over time.

Hand Engraving

About one-third of the way down each side, an inverted V begins, widening as it moves down until the space between the grooves covers nearly the entire surface of the ring across the bottom. This space is filled with intricate hand engraving in a pattern that was based on the designs found on old Norse and Viking jewelry. That was another element that held special meaning for the client, and he provided samples of the kind of design he was hoping for. Hand Engraving

Contrasting Finishes

To help highlight the separation between the two sections of the ring, a distressed brushed finish is applied to the top and the outside of the V, while the engraving within the V is polished to a high shine. This use of finishes also helps to enhance the shine of the sapphire at the top thanks to the way the stone’s sparkle contrasts with the rough surface of the surrounding metal.

  I cannot recommend Joseph Jewelry more highly. My fiancé and I had such an enjoyable, personal, and stress-free time designing his wedding band. We were able to work with Tony both online and in person to bring my fiancé's dream ring to life. Tony was so attentive and helpful in listening to my fiancé's ideas and using the images he uploaded to craft a truly unique piece of jewelry. The jewelers are all incredibly talented at helping pinpoint what you are looking for in a piece of jewelry and provide lots of options and examples of what the finished piece might look like. In each step of the process, we were provided with drawings and renderings of the ring, each adjusted according to prior feedback. From the initial design process, to the revisions and suggestions, to the final piece arriving at our house, the team at Joseph Jewelry were a pleasure to work with. My fiancé was so delighted with the ring that he simply couldn't wait to start wearing it, and has been proudly wearing it daily six months before the wedding! I would recommend Joseph Jewelry to anyone looking for unique, high quality jewelry.
