Phoenix & Peony solitaire in 14K gold.

Ginkgo leaves solitaire based on a design I did several years ago, with a straight-edged border and openwork. 18K white gold.
(more…)Peach blossom motif solitaire designed around this amazing Old Mine Cut 1.39ct diamond. Flanked with two additional 2.5mm rose-cuts on either side. Designed with an open bezel to allow more light into the stone and so you can peek at that lovely pavilion:
Flowy kelp-motif pendant designed around this gorgeous blue-green triangular-cut tourmaline.
(more…)This was a re-do of a wedding solitaire: I removed this 1ct emerald-cut diamond from its original setting, and designed a new one around it. The motif is lilies + leaves framing the stone, bulbs and roots entwined across the base of the band, all very three-dimensional and sculptural in styling. Little 2mm Old European Cut diamonds are set in the centers of the blooms.
The bezel sides are open so you can get a peek of the diamond pavilion, and also to let a little additional light into the stone. Very happy with how the ring turned out.

Sweet custom solitaire with sakura blossoms, 14K rose gold. Stone is a 6.5mm Old European cut moissanite! Cut proportions are nice; I’m a sucker for those tall crowns 🙂
(more…)I love this poppy ring: three sets of poppy blooms + feathery leaves around the band, just a little bit of openwork, a ~6mm width. This one has been paired with a classic polished band, but with a little something-something carved on the inside..
We Portlandians are famous for putting birds on all our handmade crafts, and I do my best to uphold this mighty tradition: a teensy intaglio nuthatch on the inside of this wedding band.
The poppy band is one I do make custom to order/fit. Please send me an email if interested: cheyenneweil@gmail.com.
Both bands hand carved, and cast into 18K yellow gold. More photos below!
(more…)This cool bi-color/banded sapphire! I designed a maple leaf solitaire in 14K white gold to hold it. Worked out quite nicely, I’d say 🙂
