I have longed not been a fan of the diamond lock that has overwhelmed the jewelry industry for engagement/wedding rings. One of the reasons why i am greatly considering using your site. I want to use bluey opal, as your Budapest pendant is my dream piece of jewelry. Is it possible to get such a gemstone?

Can you do a ring in a traditional three-stone ring style with three different stones? I’d be looking for a tanzanite center flanked by a diamond and a ruby.

My engagement ring is also a center stone dark oval blue sapphire with the sides accented in a “V” with smaller diamonds. I just love it. Wouldn’t want it any other way.
