A Marquise Diamond and Pink Sapphire Wedding Set for Isaac

Isaac's engagement ring was carved in wax in stages: the band on the mill, the head separately, then the two joined and refined on the mandrel, with the stones laid out before casting.

Cast in 18k, it holds a marquise diamond with pink sapphires and diamonds along the shoulders, and was made with a matching wedding band.

He proposed to Lydia at dawn beside Oak Creek near Sedona, kneeling in the mud in the pouring rain. She accepted, and it fit perfectly.
