A Marquise Diamond and Pink Sapphire Wedding Set for Isaac
An 18k engagement and wedding set around a marquise diamond, with pink sapphires and diamonds, carved in wax piece by piece.

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.
