Bespoke Platinum Diamond Ring with Floating Marquise and Round Diamond Shoulders

A beautifully individual bespoke platinum diamond ring, created around our client's existing 8mm round brilliant-cut diamond. Designed and crafted in 950 platinum, this elegant commission features alternating marquise and round brilliant-cut diamonds, arranged to create the impression of gemstones floating gracefully along the shoulders of the ring.

The design began with a simple but distinctive brief from our local client. She wanted to retain her original centre diamond while creating a completely new setting, with an unusual arrangement of diamonds flowing down either side of the finger. Most importantly, she wanted the smaller diamonds to appear almost suspended within the design, rather than enclosed within a conventional solid shoulder setting.

A Floating Diamond Shoulder Design

The finished ring features six marquise-cut lab-grown diamonds, each measuring 4 x 2mm, alternating with four round brilliant-cut lab-grown diamonds, each measuring 2.5mm.

All ten additional diamonds were selected in D colour and VVS clarity, with particular consideration given to how their appearance would complement the client's existing central diamond.

The marquise diamonds introduce an elongated, delicate shape, while the round brilliant-cut diamonds provide contrast and additional sparkle. Their alternating arrangement extends approximately 70% around the ring, creating a flowing pattern of light and shape.

Designed Around an Existing Diamond

Rather than replacing our client's original diamond, we designed the entire ring around it.

Her approximately 8mm round brilliant-cut diamond was retained as the centrepiece, secured within a classic four-claw platinum setting. The surrounding design was developed to complement the stone's proportions, colour and clarity.

This approach allowed our client to preserve a personally significant gemstone while enjoying a completely new piece of jewellery, individually created to reflect her own style.

CAD Design and Client Approval

Before manufacturing began, we prepared detailed Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings, allowing our client to review the proposed ring from different angles.

This important stage gave her the opportunity to assess the proportions of the centre setting, the arrangement of alternating diamond shapes and the overall appearance of the floating shoulders.

Once the design was approved, the ring was created in 950 platinum, finished and polished to bring out the delicate openwork details and brilliance of the diamonds.
