At Erstwhile we love creating pieces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal and meaningful. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with a client who wanted to create a custom engagement ring to pay homage to a ring his fiancée once owned and loved. He desired to blend the essence of the original with his own unique touches.
The Vision
Working closely with our team, he decided on a setting inspired by our Prism Shifter, but with significant custom modifications.
The Diamond Selection and Creation
Selecting the perfect diamond is a crucial step in creating any engagement ring, and we take this process very seriously. We provided our client with two rounds of diamond options, carefully curated to offer a variety of specifications and prices within his budget. This approach ensured he had a range of beautiful gems to choose from, each meeting our high standards of quality.

He ended up choosing a beautiful 2.57 carat antique old mine cushion center diamond. To add a modern twist, the client chose to have baguettes and round diamonds on the shoulders inspired by the Prism Shifter.
