Cape Town

Diamond Engagement Ring

Spring merging into summer. Waterfront café. Paddle fans slowly turning overhead…relaxing into the sweet aroma of a Cuban cigar. Last day of a two week tour of South Africa’s diamond and platinum mines. She commented on the passing ship. I commented on her ring. She seemed pleased, explained it was a family heirloom, had been her grandmother’s, and she loved it, it was simple…comfortable.

I told her I was a jeweler from America. Asked if I could make a ring like it. She said she would be honored to have her grandmother’s ring in America. This is the ring seen that gentle spring day in South Africa.

Comfortable. Low profile. Design can be worn all the time…for a lifetime, then passed on to the next generation. Your diamond or ours.
