“The Eldorado” is named after the rough sapphires that are cast in place and polished flush to the band. I source these stones directly from the Blue Jewel mine that sits on top of the famous Eldorado Bar on the Missouri River in Montana. This ring is 6 mm wide and is currently made with 14k yellow gold but can be made in any karat. I just love Montana sapphires! There is something special about stones that are found right here in the US.
This custom made size 8.5, 14k Signet is sporting 113 natural diamonds set in a honeycomb pattern. There is a bit over 0.75ct total weight (43 natural vs white diamonds and 70 black diamonds) and weighs in at over 13.5g. I went with one of my favorite hand-engraved patterns; a random geometric design. Like most of my custom rings it has a euro shank design.
This honey comb inspired pendant is custom made and one of a kind from start to finish!
To begin the process I went to southern Oregon and hard rock mined the fire opal from the ground myself. Then I faceted it into a 1.4 carat hexagon.
Once I had the completed stone I was able to design and then hand carve the wax pendant. Once finished shaping, I made a mold and burned the wax out so it could be replaced with 14k yellow gold.
With such a unique statement piece like this, I couldn’t just go buy a pre made chain so I made a 24” chain in house. I poured a 14k gold ingot and drew it into wire and then made all the links by hand. The S link clasp to close the chain I also hand made.
Now all it needs is a neck to adorn!
This is definitely a coin ring like no other. The Morgan dollar has just enough (I mean just barely) thickness to channel set 30 of these beautiful 2.5 mm sapphires. This was a challenging and rewarding one for sure! Oh and it’s available! -Size 11
