Emerald-Cut Sapphire Anniversary Band
A Platinum Band to Celebrate
This special commission was created to mark a milestone anniversary; a one-of-a-kind platinum band that balances timeless elegance with the precision of fine gemstones.
Set with five premium emerald-cut natural blue sapphires and six baguette-cut natural diamonds, the stones sweep across the top half of the finger in a refined and architectural layout. Every detail was carefully considered: from the proportions of the double gallery prong setting to the gentle dome of the bright-polished band, designed for beauty and comfort.
Handmade by us in our Toronto studio, this ring is a celebration of craftsmanship, precision, and a love story told through jewellery.
Precision and Balance in Design
Creating this band began with an uncompromising selection process. From dozens of loose stones, we handpicked five emerald-cut sapphires for their depth of colour, perfect proportions, and matched brilliance.
To complement them, we chose six baguette-cut natural diamonds, top clarity and cut, because in baguettes, perfection matters. Every stone needed to align in size, hue, and shape to create seamless harmony across the finger.
The double gallery prong setting lifts the stones just enough to let light in, enhancing their brilliance while maintaining a strong, elegant profile. The polished dome shank offers balance, comfort, and a timeless look that will endure as beautifully as the love it celebrates.
The Client’s Reaction
Presenting this band was a moment we won’t forget, the excitement and emotion of seeing a dream piece brought to life. For them, this wasn’t just a ring; it was a symbol of years shared, milestones celebrated, and a future ahead.
Reflections on the Work
Pieces like this remind us why we love what we do. A simple idea, a platinum anniversary band, becomes extraordinary when you combine the finest materials, careful design, and the personal meaning behind it.
A Note for Sapphire Lovers
The rich blues of natural sapphires never fail to captivate us. For those thinking of their own custom design, whether a classic band or a bold statement piece, the possibilities are endless when every stone is hand-selected, and every detail is shaped by hand.

Considering a commission of your own?
We create handmade, custom-made jewellery in our Toronto studio with a genuinely customer-focused process. From the very first conversation, we take time to understand your style, how you’ll wear the piece, and the meaning behind it. Together we explore design directions, precious metals (14K or 18K gold and platinum), and fine natural gemstones from our collection, or we can work with gemstones you already own. With over twenty-five years’ experience and GIA Graduate Gemmologist training, we personally select and verify each stone and control every stage of design and fabrication in-house for quality you can trust. Remodelling is our specialty.
If you’re reimagining a treasured heirloom, we’ll preserve its story while refreshing the design to suit your life today. If you’re starting from scratch, we’ll guide you through sketches, proportions, comfort, and finishing details to create a one-off piece that feels effortlessly “you”.
Every commission receives careful attention to detail — from hand engraving to precise setting — so the result is enduring, comfortable, and truly personal. When you’re ready, book a consultation and let’s talk about your ideas, timeframe, and budget; whether reimagining a cherished piece or beginning a bespoke creation from the ground up, we’ll craft something meaningful and lasting, handmade, here in Toronto.
