A round little flower ring paired with Royal Blue does not look childish at all; it is particularly charming. A large diamond and a rich colour make it both sweet and dazzling.
I often see “Graff three-stone, how should the proportions be changed?” Where exactly does the proportion differ? The simpler the design, the higher the craftsmanship demands. Like this water-drop sapphire ring, the curve of the centre stone, the angle of the accent diamonds, and the fit of the setting all hide standards that cannot be seen. A good proportion allows the sapphire’s depth and the diamond’s clarity to fall into...
Within the Royal Blue centre stone lies an unspoken fondness. The halo of diamonds is the scattered companionship of time. May every day ahead be like this shade of blue: steadfast, clear, and moved only by you.
The veteran performer, the little trumpet ring, is now on stage again. While sorting through orders recently, I realised that even a little trumpet design replicated countless times still differs subtly according to the stone and the finger. The curvature of the domed surface and the diamond arrangement are all slightly different. It has nothing to do with who copied whom; classic styles are passed down from generation to generation. It is the delicate differences of handcraft that give jewellery its unique life. Re...

Within the Royal Blue centre stone lies an unspoken fondness. The halo of diamonds is the scattered companionship of time. May every day ahead be like this shade of blue: steadfast, clear, and moved only by you.
This 8-carat sapphire is flanked by 1-carat pear-shaped diamonds on either side. The classic three-stone design may seem unadorned, yet it demands careful thought, with every detail painstakingly considered. The loyalty of the Royal Blue sapphire, the steadfastness of the diamonds, and the permanence of platinum together forge a witness to their love. Congratulations on your marriage.

A four-carat vivid Royal Blue stone is surrounded by the halo of old-cut diamonds, carrying a unique candlelit glow. Every facet recreates the charm of a century ago. The expansive fire draws the eye instantly, making it an unmissable piece in the jewellery box.
Yellow sapphires are born with a sense of luxury. The square-cut centre stone sets the tone, while step-cut diamonds lay down symmetrical stair-step lines, a classic expression of Art Deco. Retro and modern coexist, and with a lift of the hand there is the opulence of a gilt age, carrying us back to a time of economic ascent.
The broad fire of old-cut diamonds encloses the Royal Blue at the centre. Set on a warm gold base, this coolness is given the warmth of an older era.
We have made this American-vintage style before, always in sapphire. This time, the ruby version is equally striking. To give the centre stone better fire, we chose a floating setting, allowing the deep ruby to display a brilliant fire as well.
Deep Royal Blue collides with an alluring ruby, a classic duo brought together in close embrace. Clean lines sketch a profound texture; brilliant red and calm blue clash at full strength, yet perfectly balance one another and create their own field of poise. Bold and unconventional in style, it is also a singular new attempt. Within the tension of strong contrasts, a uniquely high-end harmony is found.
A sapphire ring that almost became a tinfoil version. In the end, the King insisted on a three-stone design. The vintage multi-claw setting, and the distinctive “🍋 lemon” engraving on the underside, make this three-stone ring especially unique.
The ring from a couple of days ago actually belongs to two different clients. Ordered at the same time, with the same size top and nearly the same finger size, this classic floral cluster ring is an excellent choice when you are not sure what style to make. This client chose twice [doge]. As they say, classics never go out of style. Quietly speaking (the principal designer also has one).
Elegance is the only beauty that never fades. It makes no noise, yet it has its own voice. It is the refined confidence hidden within a collar on the commute; it is the finishing touch that brightens the eyes at a gathering. Most of us live quiet lives of desperation, and true elegance is about lighting a small beam for oneself amid the ordinary.
Purple Gate | Dome Violet, Star River, Ring The central purple sapphire is the deep violet held within the dusk of the dome, clear and profound, with the quiet poise of nobility. The ring shank, densely pavé-set with small diamonds, diffuses a soft glow, like starlight refracted from the dome. The hand-finished curves bring the coolness of architectural beauty into a bespoke warmth. This dusky violet is the Grand Palais...
The most romantic thing in the world is surely the first snowfall of winter. Rose-cut diamonds spread a hazy softness of light, while pear diamonds trace the edges of ice crystals. At the centre, that heart-shaped sapphire and the snowflake meet in perfect measure. The cool white at last embraces the most passionate blue.
✨When I sent the photos to the client, she said: “This is exactly the feeling of Harry Winston!” The triangular fishtail claws, carved in one piece by a pneumatic engraving tool along the ring shank, are as sharp as a blade at every edge. There is not a single soldered joint; the base is firmly rooted in the metal. The cross-set Royal Blue sapphire and white diamonds add a little playfulness to the white diamonds, and also a little more feminine...
From a national auspicious sign in the Western Jin to the opening line of Yuefu love poetry, and an eternal motif on wedding objects in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Two sapphire-carved twin flowers restore on the hand the thousand-year wish of the East: “one heart, one root, one fortune, one life.” This is fulfilment carved into civilisation, and an aspiration for life.
When the diagonal stripe of bi-colour split gold appears, that Italian old-money feel rises from the bones. This sapphire ring sheds youthful flamboyance and shows only an eighth of its edge, yet it hides immense weight in the shadows. The little trumpet form is still the echo of that era, but because of the two differently coloured lines, it feels less rigid and more composed.
The lightest kind of clarity in the world is surely a fleeting moment of quiet joy in this life. The bubbles hold a hush within the jewellery, neither competing nor vying, simply blossoming into their own translucence in the play of light and shadow. With the slightest movement of the fingers, there is a beauty of serene days and years.
What does it look like to plant a heart into a sea of diamonds? “Love is a flower, and you are the only seed.” The heart-shaped padparadscha at the centre is the heartbeat hidden deep within the floral sea, carrying a gentle pink glow and a fine fire in the light. The white diamonds around it gather layer upon layer like petals, as clear as morning dew, as if an eternal flower...
Whenever a client says this is her first sapphire ring, I always recommend returning to the most classic halo setting. This is not compromise, but a shared understanding of long-term value, able to withstand repeated contemplation over time. The centre stone is a rich Royal Blue, and the surrounding diamonds are unassuming yet inherently powerful. The cool, precise feel of the platinum claw setting lets the gemstone...
Yesterday’s red heart, with its ardent red, questioned love and possession. Its existence is almost a primal declaration. Today’s blue heart, by contrast, expresses emotion with greater restraint. The depth of Royal Blue is the calm after a storm, the certainty after traversing countless waves. It is no longer outward combustion, but inward sedimentation...
I had always thought the depth of one carat was the limit of desire, until this larger cushion-cut sapphire was set into the ring mount. A precious gemstone need not be ostentatious; the restrained claw setting makes the rich blue feel even more composed. Within a substantial carat weight lies a just-right grandeur, and only by leaning close can one understand its understated edge. The seamless pavé diamonds weave like a star track, making the entire...
A rich Royal Blue sapphire condenses the light of the midnight deep sea, held aloft by a halo of diamonds like a flower that will never fade. The solid 18K gold base means every lift of the hand carries a quiet luxury. It is not decoration that follows the crowd, but confidence hidden in the details, a romance understood by those who favour the classic and the substantial.
Step-cut diamonds lay down a cool geometric foundation, like the white walls and steel windows of a Bauhaus school building, building a rational stage for colour with a sense of disciplined order. The Royal Blue sapphire is the cool-headed "structural colour", like a vertical line on a Mondrian canvas, restrained and steady; the Pigeon Blood ruby is a blazing "emotive colour", like Con...
The sapphire is the condensed midnight deep sea, a blue that is both clear and intense, gently supported by a cluster of stars and a crescent moon. Every small diamond is like a star falling into the mortal world, sparkling with tiny points of light within the texture of platinum. I am reminded of The Little Prince, which says: “When you look at the sky at night, since I shall be on one of the stars, since I shall be on one of the stars...
In bespoke jewellery, the “hostage” is the tender bond created when a client places trust in your hands. In January 2024, the client brought us the custom brief; when we discussed the deposit, I laughed and said, “No need, I already have a hostage.” This sapphire ring made the client my “prisoner of state”, kept from the start of the year until the end, “detained” for a whole year. What is hardest is never...
This K White and Emerald-Cut Royal Blue Sapphire Ring is Requested Every Time It Is Delivered. The emerald-cut blue sits steadily at the centre of the mount, while seamless princess-cut diamonds line the K white ring shank. It is like a page in a book that is turned to again and again, needing no adornment, simply remembered. Its presence is like the folded corner of a page in a collection of essays, not because...
This floral cluster mount was originally made for sapphires; unexpectedly, when paired with jadeite, it created another kind of Eastern charm. When playfulness aligns with nature, it reaches the highest ideal. The same design paired with a sapphire is Western in its clarity and edge; with rich green jadeite, it becomes an Eastern gentleness and auspiciousness. Different gemstones and jades, yet each shows its own style within the same design.
In truth, whether a piece of jewellery is beautiful comes down, at its core, to the logic of structure and the rhythm of layers. This ring arranges diamonds in three staggered tiers through different cuts. The facets of pear-shaped and step-cut diamonds interlock, and the precision of the cuts allows light to refract through the layers. The claws are arranged neatly in a hexagonal pattern, as orderly as the lines of a maze, bringing the sapphire’s deep blue and...
When the client first came because she wanted an old-cut diamond, the hope in her eyes was probably “I want it to feel both like the past and better than the past.” The soft glow of old-cut diamonds spills through the gaps of the claws. The “old” of the old cut is never a constraint, and the “new” of the multi-claw setting is never superfluous. In the end, it is about not disappointing time, and not disappointing the heart.
As mid-December approaches, Christmas, New Year’s Day and Spring Festival come one after another. If one were to ask what kind of jewellery best suits a festive mood, it would surely be this heart ring. As early as the Victorian era, heart-shaped gemstones were a classic European royal symbol of “love made tangible”. The glassy pink sapphire is presented in a heart cut, and its high clarity allows the pink sapphire...
Winter passed into winter again, carrying the client’s repeated deliberations over the profile curve and the ring wall details. Together we adjusted the thickness and curve of countless ring walls, comparing the fit of more than ten types of settings. On the craftsman’s workbench were also stacked several rejected sketches. Every revision carried the seriousness of wanting to come one step closer to what was in her heart, and at bottlenecks we could not help but sigh...
Over seven months, we adjusted every curve of the profile and every measure of the details, refining the shape through repeated deliberation until it felt just right. The client’s “indecision” was never a problem; together we adjusted the spacing between the centre stone and the accent diamonds, tried three different metal-finish ratios, and compared dozens of versions of detail drawings in late-night messages. All for...
A ring is never a cold ornament; it is the tangible form of the hottest intention at a proposal. A band has no beginning and no end, binding “I” and “you” into the circle of a life together. You and I were once two separate stars, yet through love we have embraced into eternity. A ring where sapphire and diamonds keep watch over one another, with two centre stones leaning into each other as if born together, speaks of the deepest devotion: “you are within me, and I within you.”...
Art Deco symmetry meets the deep blue of sapphire and the warmth of agate. The cutting angle of the agate has been recalibrated so that within the geometric framework of the trapezoid border it reflects a deep-sea-like light. The curved surface of the metal fits the finger just right. The V-shaped facets on the side of the ring shank must align precisely with Art Deco’s straight lines, recreating the yellow...
The seamless princess-cut ring that has been reordered many times is practically the perfect match for a one-carat fancy-colour stone. The princess-cut diamonds set seamlessly around the band are exquisitely made, with tiny sparkles forming a refined ribbon of light. The rich, signature centre stone at the middle brightens the whole piece. The diamonds on the ring band and the sapphire do not compete for attention; they enhance one another. It balances brilliance and texture just right, and on the hand it gives off an unmistakable sense of luxury.
A foolproof vintage ring 💍 The same vintage dream. A Royal Blue sapphire nurtured by time, paired with a vintage floral large diamond. The weighty gold feel is like an old gentleman’s watch chain. Slip it on your finger, and even the everyday feels elegantly timeless.
No Copy Today, Only That the Man Is Eating Very Well [doge]
The surprise in this ring is hidden in the side profile - the row of fine pavé diamonds. When lifted, they flash along the finger like a sparkle that catches the eye. The reproduction of high jewellery is never about copying the “surface”; the proportions are its “bone structure”. The curve of the ring shank, the arrangement of the diamond positions, every fraction of a millimetre is measured just right. The instant the client’s eyes lit up when she touched the side diamonds was the moment this “bone structure”...
If the earlier piece was a romantic snowflake, then this time it is snowflakes turning into a sweeping blizzard. A 6-carat sapphire commands a grand winter narrative. Eight princess-cut diamonds and marquise diamonds intertwine into a storm of brilliance sweeping across the world. Every cut reflects a frosty edge, and the coolness of platinum encloses the depth of the centre stone, bringing together the magnificence of ice and snow...
Another little boat ring 🛶 A vintage, sumptuous design that is practically a one-carat legend. Under the flicker of candlelight, diamonds and sapphires flash in turn. The choice of old-cut diamonds allows the ring to remain dazzling even in dim light. Perhaps the allure of jewellery is precisely that it lights up life in the midst of ordinary days.
Blue is the love of the universe. The classic claw setting steadies a pool of rich blue, wrapped in the clear fire that has travelled across the stars. It is as if countless fragments of starlight from billions of light-years have been locked into the depths of the gemstone. The ring shank has no elaborate adornment; its sharp geometric lines outline the form, hiding a touch of technology and futurity within the hard edges, like two planets finally crossing...
We released a similar ring a few days ago. That piece had a three-dimensional domed surface, like the lifted hem of an old-fashioned ballroom gown, with crisp rises and falls and a brilliant, unapologetic sparkle - full of American vintage energy. This one, by contrast, has the kind of restraint one takes carefully from an antique box. The flatter profile gives the entire ring a touch of softness, and it sits steadily against the finger, like a chapter...
It feels as though this is the first time we have ever made padparadscha, the first time we have truly grasped the charm of a "RMB-colour". Padparadscha really is a miracle of one in fifty thousand. Its gentle pink is like the most radiant flower of spring - graceful, sweet and romantic. The diamonds add a touch of brightness to this soft glow, their pure white setting off the centre stone’s ultimate warmth.
This ring is the client’s own ritual for herself 🎁 A rich Royal Blue sapphire forms the heart, while old-cut diamonds unfurl into soft petals. The retro cut lets the fire burst into extreme brilliance. The best kind of affection is the one you give yourself; that is the most fitting birthday gift.
A high-jewellery style that has been reordered many times. The oval purple sapphire is the surprise hidden within the design, like a carefully captured trace of the deepest dusk-purple. Its soft dome is wrapped in a gentle lustre, and even the light and shadow seem to revolve around it. The small diamonds are scattered along the silver-branch ring shank like stars, and the tiny flashes of light spread along the metal lines, like a constellation circling purple mist in the night sky...
This ring is beautiful in a fiercely captivating way 🗡️. This little bird, carrying a Royal Blue sapphire 💎, flies straight to your heart. Good things are inherently compelling - they either catch your eye, or take hold of your heart. Every bird we make is unique. They may look alike, but in posture and wings there are subtle differences in every detail, making the piece on your hand...
The depth and nobility of No. 1 Royal Blue meet the crisp edge of a seamless princess cut. Every setting is immaculate, and every shade of blue is pushed to its richest limit. A setting that appears simple at first glance reveals infinite sophistication when worn. That is the meaning of fine craftsmanship.
It is still that retro style that has been appearing everywhere lately! Clients kept asking, “Such an authentic retro style - why not make an old-cut version?” So here it is, arriving with the old-cut edition. The bright Royal Blue centre stone was deliberately cut for maximum fire, sparkling like tiny stars in the light; the accent diamonds use the classic old-cut style, and the moment it appears it is an entire galaxy...
This is also an old-residential-block renovation project. When a pale purple sapphire meets the retro halo of old-cut diamonds, a dream of vintage and renewal emerges. The original setting made the centre stone seem somewhat ordinary, so we used setting craftsmanship to make up for it, gently awakening the rich depth of this purple sapphire. The old-cut diamonds carry the sediment of time...
The Royal Blue gemstone settles into the depth of time, while the surrounding old-cut diamonds carry the warmth of a century ago. Every facet holds the light-and-shadow memory of a vintage era. The ingenuity of the floating setting gives the gemstone a sense of breathing space, offering both secure support and a graceful blankness - just like those understated yet enduring beauties in a vintage wave. Quietly unfolding at the fingertips...
With the Mid-Autumn moon full, this 6-carat sapphire is as clear and brilliant. The constraints of the old design once muted its radiance; in the revised version, diamonds circle it like starlight, just as the full moon gathers the Milky Way and appears anew in the season of reunion. Every lift of the hand feels like holding elegance and nobility in the fingertips to be admired together.
This sapphire ring uses my daughter’s birthstone as the centre stone. The blue flame, refined from the deep sea, condenses into an oval star on the platinum mount; every tiny diamond is a fragment of the galaxy, gathered around its solitary courage and clarity. The Z mark on the back, when drawn, immediately made me think of Zorro - the cartoons of my childhood are my first memory of a hero...
When the dust of old time settles on the velvet jewellery box, this sapphire ring becomes the emblem of retro aesthetics. The rich sapphire is like the deep indigo fermented by years, and the oval curve holds within it the golden hours of the jazz age. The diamonds are gathered in a vintage floral form, each one like a fragment of light sifted from the gears of an old pocket watch, rippling in the soft glow of the gold setting...
This small-carat sapphire ring uses craftsmanship to break through the limits of scale through “micro-balance”. The arc of the claw setting and the diamond cluster allow the visual weight of the centre stone to extend naturally; each diamond facet joins seamlessly, its lustre echoing the sapphire’s fire and dissolving the awkwardness of the smaller carat weight. The mount and diamond shadows intertwine, retaining the warmth of precious metal while using light and shade to bring out the gemstone...
Why this name? Because “true love knows no easy road”. At a glance, the ring leans towards a classical style. In the hand-setting process, the claw positions of each small diamond and the curvature of the metal support were repeatedly calibrated, as were the smoothness where the ring metal meets the gemstone, the consistency of the pavé section, and the beautifully precise symmetry. It also recreates the Renaissance period...
Tiny metal beads are arranged densely and precisely, holding each diamond firmly in place. This micro-pavé technique, where you see diamonds rather than metal, greatly enhances the diamonds’ fire, allowing them to echo beautifully with the sapphire at the centre - making the sapphire’s depth feel even more elevated. The diamonds’ brilliance adds an extra layer of lively glow ✨ This craft is truly...
This “ordinary” sapphire is ringed by a halo of small pavé diamonds that hold in its deep blue. Two tiny hearts are quietly set into the ring shank. There is no elaborate symbolism, only the most genuine form, fitting every ordinary day. It has no legendary pedigree, yet it understands how to record the small warmths of life: the coffee aroma brewed together in the morning, the evening wind walked side by side. Countless days with no need...
Fabergé - a legendary figure who single-handedly outshone every jeweller in Europe. He expressed Russian aesthetics to the fullest. The design of this ring is in fact no longer related to Fabergé in any historical sense. Yet the details still carry traces of the imperial age: the round diamonds on the side and the diamonds extending from both sides. Every element pays tribute to the classic three-stone ring...
The pearl carries the natural blush of growth, while the surrounding coloured sapphires and spinels allow their fire to travel through the light. It is like the rainbow shimmer in a unicorn’s mane as it runs in legend. It is not flashy, yet it calls to mind the phrase 'appearing at the edge of a rainbow'. The dreamy unicorn palette echoes the pearl’s orient - the purity of white, the dream of blue...
The pinnacle of craftsmanship - a seamless diamond-set sapphire ring. The very first glance made it impossible to put down. Minimalist lines + the extraordinarily difficult seamless princess-cut diamond setting. The inspiration for this setting comes from a vintage high-jewellery ring by Van Cleef & Arpels that was recreated years ago. Though the centre stone is only one carat, the effect on the hand is understated yet still luxurious. It looks plain at first, but in truth...
The centre stone of this ring is a natural sapphire. Although it is only one carat, the finished effect is remarkable. The surrounding diamonds use a combination of step-cut and round cuts, faintly echoing the geometric aesthetics of Art Deco. During setting, the junction between metal and gemstone was finished with great delicacy. It does not merely rely on the natural gemstone for its value, but also through handcraft...
This ring captures the essence of Italian minimalism. The gold outline is as crisp as the architectural lines of the Apennine Peninsula, with no unnecessary embellishment, yet the subtle texture of hand-forging gives it warmth. The sapphire centre stone was chosen for its purest colour and cut into a clean geometric form. The surrounding diamonds are also arranged simply, allowing the warmth of gold, the deep blue of the gemstone and the...
When imperial majesty is wrapped around a sapphire and worn on the hand, this ring becomes an autonomous steward. The double-wing epaulettes forged in 18K gold lift the central Royal Blue centre stone. Trapezoid diamonds, like symbols of rank, and side round-cut diamonds, like the ornaments on an epaulette, seem under the light to refract the ceremonial brilliance of the Victorian era. Every gold line...
This is the first 'bird' ring we recreated, but it is not the first one that shipped - simply because it was the busiest ring we have ever made, and who would have thought a ring could carry four add-ons? With gold prices continuing to rise, 'multi-use jewellery' has become a more cost-effective choice. Yet most multi-use jewellery inevitably has some...
We have made several of this ring recently; it is truly a style that is pleasing to the eye and easy to wear. The plain gold ring shank is what clients often call a stylish K yellow. The beautiful gold surface shines like morning light just gathered up, its lustre carrying a subtle satin feel - not dazzling, yet as steady as happiness itself and growing ever more graceful. Such an enduring style perhaps lacks a little...
One ring captures both the depth and the brilliance of the sky. The oval sapphire is like the profound night sky after dark, its rich blue tone shifting with a velvet lustre. The diamonds on either side resemble the clarity of dawn, setting off the centre stone with greater nobility. The three stones in harmony are the romance settled by time and the meaning of jewellery passed down.
The client asked us to recreate an identical style. Curious about the reason, we learned that this was a sapphire ring the client chose with her grandmother when she was three. This ring has rested on her grandmother’s finger for more than twenty years. When recreating the mount, we even copied the old traces in the openwork curves, making only the gold strands more resilient and the edges more fitting. New craftsmanship, wrapped in an old form, carries grandmother and granddaughter...
The story of Royal Blue from a century ago still circulates. Its legacy, its nobility and its romance. A classic centre stone paired with a classic style is destined to accompany its owner into old age. In my view, the meaning of jewellery has nothing to do with preserving value or investment. It is memory, commemoration and companionship. And the client’s own story can also be witnessed and carried forward by this ring.
The charm of old European-cut diamonds is surely the vast fire they show under sunlight, magnificent and brilliant like the starbursts of an older year. The deep sapphire seems to serve as a medium connecting past and present. Fine carved-gold lines wind along the side, recreating the craftsmanship of a golden age. This three-stone ring is a romance aged in the cellar of time; every edge says past, present and future.
The story of “Toi et Moi” is already well known. Unlike the classic elegance of Royal Blue, the lively pink sapphire adds a slightly playful note to this classic design. Its presence, bordering on rebellious aesthetics, feels like a way of resisting the shackles of reality in one’s own manner. Perhaps it is as the Iron Lady said: “Without freedom of thought,...
The client brought out sapphire studs she had bought twenty years ago from a heart-shaped gold shop. This time we used coloured gold as the base, and set rubies around the centre stone - red and blue playing off one another, making the sapphire appear deeper and more mysterious. Looking at it now, the old gemstone carries the steadiness of time, while the coloured gold and rubies add a fresh brilliance. It is also full of personality for everyday wear, like giving an old object a vivid new story.
As far back as the 18th century, boat rings were favoured because of women’s changing status. Nearly 300 years later, the domed lines drift through the river of time like a ship’s hull. The central purple sapphire is washed with a deep violet glow. Old mine-cut diamonds and old European-cut diamonds encircle it. The facets of the old-style cuts conceal the craftsmanship of another age, and the fire spreads into a gentle halo - the...
The essence of this ring is craftsmanship’s totalitarianism. Like premium ingredients that prove themselves through pure flavour, the 4-carat oval cut is an enduring classic. The sharp precision of the diamond cutting and the smooth fineness of the polished metal speak for themselves. When all design is pared away, only the dialogue between proportion and material remains. Only the pursuit of craftsmanship is hidden within every fine...
Unlike yesterday’s princess-cut retro opulence, the round-diamond layout is simpler and more contemporary. Congratulations to this woman, she has a new little finger ring 👏
The very first glance at this ring made it impossible to put down. Minimalist lines + the exceptionally difficult seamless princess-cut diamond setting. The inspiration for this setting comes from a vintage high-jewellery ring by Van Cleef & Arpels that was recreated years ago. Although the centre stone is only one carat, the effect on the hand is understated yet still luxurious. It looks ordinary at first glance, but in truth it is extraordinary - the modern craftsman’s answer to design...
Another trombino - a century-old classic with an unmistakable charm. The yellow sapphire, emerald cut, blooms in a steady bright yellow, while long trapezoid and round diamonds are arranged in order, with a platinum mount as the base. Geometry outlines the form. When worn, it is the quiet meeting of reason and luxury, speaking at the fingertips of unforced sophistication.
Minimalist design opens up endless possibilities for pairing. I often tell clients: the finest ingredients only need the simplest cooking. And so it is with this pair. Pure white sparkling diamonds meet deep, noble sapphires. The most basic four claws connect the two, preserving the distance between them.
Today is 520, so I am sharing a proposal ring. After working in this field for so long, I have heard countless romantic stories. During the consultation for this ring, we proposed many options, but the gentleman still chose the “Diana style” that caught his eye at first glance. This century-old classic design seems to have witnessed happiness all along. Perhaps it is...
This time there is a slight variation. The stone placement of the centre stone has changed, and the accent diamonds have been switched to Cadillac cuts. The tiger-claw setting on the ring shank and the eagle-claw setting at the centre stone each create a different combination. Every different pairing can become a three-stone ring that belongs uniquely to you 💍
This is a purple sapphire. After being bezel-set in biscuit gold, it unexpectedly transforms into something very like a ruby. Fashion is cyclical. Recently we have been making many antique-style rings, and this beauty, shaped by time, still moves the heart.
Seeing this ring feels like being taken back to the imaginative millennium years. Back then, the whole world had hit the accelerator ⏩ In the millennium people felt unease about the future, but even more they were full of hope and imagination. Perhaps the more difficult the era, the more beauty is needed to ignite hope. As the saying goes: aesthetics is the antidote to suffering.
Another piece of LV high jewellery, carrying forward LV’s architectural design language as always. Worn on the hand, this style gives an effect close to a three-stone ring. Compared with a classic three-stone, it holds many more details. We once made a similar piece using a Mahenge spinel, but because the photos were so ugly we never posted it 😂
Have you ever had a "tequila sunrise"? The golden keshi pearl and three colours of coloured sapphires instantly took me back to the Mexican coast, watching the sunrise slowly rise over the morning sea. Being captivated by summer is one of the most intense emotions in a brief human life. That heart most aflame in midsummer is born and begins to beat in June...
Mr Yang Jiang once said: 'Deep affection is less than lasting companionship; great love needs no many words, and companionship is the longest declaration of love.' This ring was commissioned as a 10th wedding anniversary ring. We learned from the client that from buying the stone to the production process, there were in fact quite a few setbacks, but the ending was beautiful and sweet. Is marriage perhaps the same, with mo...
A client once asked us whether our videos were shot live. Our standards do fluctuate a little 😂 (though, still...) Same phone, same spot... not a single image has the same colour... photography really does depend on luck... please do bear with us, dear honorary shareholders [peekingR][peekingR]
In terms of colour, purple sits between red and blue. It bridges warmth and coolness, carrying both red’s passion and blue’s restraint. Because it holds both qualities in one singular hue, it has occupied an extraordinary place throughout history, both in the East and the West. Mystery, romance, nobility and good fortune have long been its hallmarks. This purple sapphire '...
If your city never sees snow, then perhaps this winter fairytale will do. Eight princess-cut diamonds are set around oval diamonds, forming a lively octagonal snowflake. Precious ice crystals seem to bloom into crystalline stars, gathering the frosted sapphire at the centre. The brilliance of white gold and the sparkle of diamonds maximise...
A ring of soul union: You and Me. Inspired by the love story of Napoleon and Joséphine, the first 'Toi et Moi' ring in history was presented when Napoleon proposed to Josephine. 'Toi et Moi' is French for 'you and me'. Its designer was also the founder of Chaumet. Two gemstones symbolise the intertwined emotions and promises between lovers. The most unadorned...
Unlike the soft romance of the Art Deco era, the Art Deco style that rose to prominence in the early 20th century is known for fashion, modernity and artistic expression, reflecting the confidence and liberating atmosphere of the age. As a new way of expressing the self, this ring blends Art Deco and modern styles. The cleverly colour-blocked design creates an excellent balance of fashion and minimalism...
In 1895 Cartier sold the world's first platinum ring. A century later, platinum remains the leading choice for wedding bands and diamond rings. A simple four-claw setting holds the centre stone, while tiger-claw-set diamonds run along the shank. 130 years on, we still choose platinum, and still use the same design. The neatly symmetrical claws and equally sized U-shaped settings express the same...
If one were to rank the most classic jewellery designs, 'Toi Et Moi' would undoubtedly be in the top three. This design, which became a signature work in an era of greatness and fierce competition, began as a rather conventional love story. The first 'Toi Et Moi' ring in history was made in 17...
Sharing this on New Year’s Eve. This golden-pearl necklace was commissioned by the client as a New Year gift for her mother. We used gradient yellow sapphires to interpret the changing lustre of the phoenix feathers. Why say the phoenix belongs uniquely to China? In ancient Egyptian and Greek mythology, 'phoenix' is a divine bird. It is not the Chinese phoenix, but the immortal bird. It...
This ring is actually a reinterpretation of an earlier LV design. The owner did not like the sharpness of the triangular stone, so we replaced it with a pear shape. This made the ring, which already felt somewhat firm because of its design and the colour of the sapphire, appear softer. Like its owner: beautiful without arrogance, strong without aggression.

A plain-gold Royal Blue ring, a free and effortless choice
What exactly is Royal Blue? This 2.2 ct emerald-cut Royal Blue sapphire is a textbook example. Perfect proportions, extremely high vitreous clarity, and a richly saturated colour create this sense of steadfastness and nobility. If gemstones are the soul of jewellery, then the setting form is its body. Compared with looking a little dull on the hand...
What do you get when you combine a 1.2 ct Royal Blue sapphire with 1.6 ct of diamonds? The sapphire and diamonds are rich and profound, brilliant and dazzling. Their perfect interplay meets eternity at the fingertips, simple yet sumptuous. The milgrain technique, carried forward from the Edwardian era, feels as fresh as ever; more than a century has made it refined and striking, with precious metal and...
The design inspiration comes from a vintage VCA ring from 1980. Amethyst set seamlessly at the side accents the front's purple star sapphire. The romantic star light, paired with the more neutral setting, makes this ring full of personality while still retaining feminine charm.
A Boucheron-style sapphire and diamond ring inspired by the peony flower, with two entwined loops that tightly encircle the centre stone, conveying care and cherishing in love. Clean yet refined, it adds a striking finishing touch to everyday dressing. We replaced the diamonds with sapphires, creating another kind of vivid, liberated beauty. It must belong to the realm of abundance and grace, yet it is already free of the world...
Sailor Moon’s brooch, Sakura’s wand - sparkling gemstones always seem to hold miraculous magic. As children, we imagined having them and transforming into warrior girls who save the world. Gemstones are girls’ armour and the blade that faces down strong enemies. Though grown-up us no longer imagine so easily, we still keep a clear, youthful heart, and put on one...
💍 Client commission share: a superb Santa Maria aquamarine cocktail ring. There is no gemstone more suited to summer than aquamarine. If you ask why I love this ring, it is because I saw the sea 🌊. Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. Its name comes from Latin, meaning...
The centre stone is a 4 carat Royal Blue sapphire. Not content with a standard halo, we instead chose a design in which the accent diamonds gather around the centre stone. Twelve 25-point large pear-shaped diamonds were selected and arranged in an offset pattern that nonetheless all points towards the centre stone, cleverly forming a long oval silhouette. 'Love is countless tears, gathered into a deep blue eternity, and in the end remains true and complete.' Materials...
