Recycled Legacy Diamond in a Bezel Pendant

We were working with a customer on a designing a stunning engagement ring when she asked us what she could do with with her grandmother’s old ring.  The ring had seen many years of wear and tear and there was no way to save it, but as our customer was getting married soon, we suggested giving the diamond a new life.  It was not a big stone (about 0.1 carats) but it had great sentimental value.  We thought about a number of options and she finally decided on making a pendant and setting her grandmother’s stone in the middle of a bezel of new diamonds.  She wore it on her wedding day.  Something old and something new.  It was perfect.

Center stone: 0.1 carats
Diamond bezel: 0.25 carats
