She found her lost engagement diamond years later—tucked into the corner of her computer desk. By then she loved the ring she had replaced it with, so instead of rebuilding the engagement ring, we combined her recovered diamond with another diamond from her husband into this custom pendant. A

Why use two prongs at every corner of this cushion cut diamond? Cushions have soft, rounded corners, so they don’t give a setter the same defined corner you get with some other diamond shapes. On this 3 carat elongated cushion, split prongs give me more coverage around each corner while still ke

Red diamond, black diamond or golden yellow? 💎 These are three completely different takes on colored diamonds—including two colored diamond engagement rings I just finished setting and the 1.6ct radiant-cut golden yellow diamond I’m hoping someone gives me an interesting project for. That hon

Custom jewelry projects I never got to show you 👀 A hidden halo engagement ring, a 2ct elongated hexagon, a LOTR engraving hidden inside a men’s band, a black onyx ring turned into a pendant, a shield-cut blue sapphire…and that’s not even everything. This is what a random stretch of custom je

Would you cut apart a family heirloom? 👀 This diamond ring was passed from mother to daughter — and now it’s being passed down again. But this time, I’m turning it into a pendant for the next generation to receive on her wedding day. Keep the original ring or make the pendant? #EmighJe

This engagement ring looks like it came from another era—but it’s completely modern. A 1.5ct marquise surrounded by baguettes and accent diamonds gives it that antique-inspired look, while modern construction and lab-grown diamond options make this style possible in a completely different way to

She lost her original engagement ring during their first year of marriage and wore a simple wedding band after that. For their 34th anniversary, she chose this setting for her 3.25-carat oval diamond. It looks like an engagement ring and wedding band stack, but it’s actually one ring—so there’s

Marquise engagement rings with tapered pear diamonds might be the next big engagement ring trend. I built one of these recently, and somehow I already have two more versions of almost the exact same style on my bench. One has a 3 carat marquise with a platinum hidden halo and 14k yellow gold.

He brought back the engagement ring I made nine years ago. I recognized it almost immediately. There’s something funny about being able to spot your own work years later. He was planning an anniversary surprise because she had been talking about switching to yellow gold and wanting an elongat

Screw back earrings aren’t always as secure as they sound. These blue diamond earrings came in missing one of the small halo diamonds, and the owner was completely tired of dealing with the screw backs. But before repairing anything, I needed to clean them. Cleaning jewelry isn’t only abou

Would you redesign inherited jewelry or leave it exactly as it was? She traveled from Texas with a collection of family jewelry, but none of these rings were staying rings. The strangest one appeared to have been made by attaching a cluster earring head to an old solitaire mounting. It was

Custom 2 carat oval engagement ring finished just in time for his proposal trip. He came in right before vacation, found a sample ring he loved, and basically said, “I want this…but different.” So I tapered the design toward a 2ct oval center diamond and used round and pear-shaped diamonds on

Did she get scammed buying this “Mexican fire opal” ring on a cruise? She originally came to me because she dropped the sterling silver ring and the center stone popped right out. The mounting was pretty beat up. Bent shank, opened prongs, cracked opal inlay… so instead of repairing it again,

2ct vs. 3ct round diamond engagement ring. Which one actually wins? The funny part is the smaller diamond is the ring with way more going on. The 2-carat gets diamond accents down the shank plus a hidden halo. The 3-carat goes completely clean with a classic white gold solitaire. They even

She lost the diamond from this 56-year-old wedding ring 12 years ago. For their 55th anniversary, her husband decided it was finally time to have the bridal set restored. The prongs had seen more than five decades of wear, we replaced the missing center with a 1/3 carat lab-grown diamond, and

Would you take apart three pieces of heirloom jewelry to make something new? For her 25th anniversary, she traveled from Maryland with her original engagement ring, her grandmother’s bridal set, and a solitaire inherited from her aunt. Instead of choosing between her diamond and Grandma’s, we

She wanted a smaller diamond. Her husband insisted they go bigger. This engagement ring upgrade started with her original bridal set and an oval center diamond measuring just over one carat. Her husband said he wanted to upgrade it once and never have to do it again. So he chose a 4 carat

This bridal set came in for a resize, but it needed a little more attention than we expected. After years of her wedding band rubbing against the engagement ring, the prongs holding her original diamond were extremely worn. She was already considering an update, so we removed the diamond and

This trending diamond shape was only the beginning. We paired an elongated hexagon diamond with black diamond side stones to give this classic three-stone engagement ring a completely different look. Built in platinum for everyday wear and custom designed at Emigh Jewelry Company. Trend or

POV: You ask a jeweler to hide a flathead screwdriver detail in your engagement ring. Her grandfather was a mechanic and engine builder, and her boyfriend is also a mechanic, so this couple wanted the ring to represent both of them. From the top, it looks like a delicate platinum bypass ring
