So it happens that my BFF’s boyfriend told me that he want to propose to her (!) He also told me that he wanted me to make the engagement ring. He sent me some pictures of different styles he liked and of course Majsan and I already have had the conversation several times before so I knew more or less what kind of engagement ring that she liked. I wanted to make something that I knew she would like but at the same time a wanted to make something special and unique that she couldn’t have pointed to in at an ordinary jewelry store. Unfortunately we don’t live in the same town so logistics where a bit tricky and we couldn’t meet face to face to plan everything. Everything without her suspecting anything.
I made several sketches that we discussed and then some prototypes in silver with cubic zirconia stones in my mini studio at home before we found the perfect one.
When I’m working with gold I rather be in fully equipped studio so I rented a spot in a workshop I have been to before so I could get some input in the process and techniques as well as get access to all the tools I needed.
He wanted the diamond to look big so I chose the highest setting I could and made the ring as high as possible, still keeping the design simple and clean. The result, a white gold engagement ring with a 0,2 carat round cut white diamond.
Then I had to wait all summer for him to propose to her an her birthday and believe me if I say that I was nervous all summer if she would like it!
Luckily for me, she really liked it, luckily for him, she said YES!
She said YES! – Making an engagement ring for my best friend
