Hot off the Bench: Hand-carved gold and blue topaz engagement ring

Bold couples deserve engagement rings that can keep up, as was the case with this custom hand-carved, yellow gold and blue topaz engagement ring. The groom and the bride-to-be knew exactly what they wanted, and exactly how to get it. Custom’s first order of business: Design a unique ring, distinct to the couple, that incorporated nature as well as the bride’s astrological sign of Scorpio.

As the Ideas flew, Custom caught them and transformed them into a one-of-a-kind work of art. Once a design was settled upon, Custom set off to hand carve this bad boy out of wax; a process best used for designs that have an organic shape and by artists who have a steady hand. Once the wax was created, we got to casting, polishing, and setting the amazing emerald-cut blue topaz the couple had previously picked out.

The results speak for themselves. With its shank depicting the natural, organic flow of a growing tree and its fine scorpion-tail prongs framing the vibrant stone, this ring truly makes a statement as bold as its proud owners.
