The following photos show what goes into our work...and why.

The wax model and selecting the Gem stones.

Diamonds are V V S / d-e and the ruby & sapphire are of equal quality. we personally select (high grade) each matching stone set.  We determine the stone sizes by the size of the ring. (every ring is in perfect proportion)
