Scarab Emerald Cut Engagement Ring

The sun, carried home.

A lab-grown white emerald cut diamond of about 4 carats, held high in four claw prongs, with a sculpted scarab resting on each shoulder of an open split shank. The long, mirrored facets of the emerald cut give clean flashes of light rather than sparkle, like light on still water.

In ancient Egypt the scarab was Khepri, the beetle who rolled the sun across the sky each morning, a sign of rebirth and of a new day beginning. Here two of them guard the stone, one on either side of the hand.

Every ring is made to order in your size. I cast it, set the center stone and finish each scarab by hand in my studio.

Your center stone. Your ring comes with a white lab-grown emerald cut. Stone availability changes, so I select your diamond at the time of your order: about 4 carats, E to F color, VVS2 to VS1 clarity, IGI certified, and cut to fit this head.

Fancy colors by request. I can also source lab-grown fancy color diamonds in pink, blue, yellow, green and champagne, for an additional fee. Fancy colors in an emerald or cut-corner shape at this size are rarer and their stock changes, so message me and I will quote the stones available when you order. Fancy colors usually add about $1,500 to $3,750. Platinum also available upon request.

Other shapes by request. Prefer a different shape? I can redraw the head for an oval, radiant, cushion or pear center; message me for a quote. One of the photos shows the ring with an oval center, as an example. 

A stone of your choosing. Have a different stone in mind? Whether it is another size, shape or color, or a stone you already love, message me and I will work with you to find the perfect one.

Each ring is handmade. I cast, set and finish every ring myself in my studio, so no two are exactly alike. Expect slight differences in the texture and detail of the scarabs from ring to ring, and from the photos.

Made to order. Made to order by hand in your size; please allow up to 12 weeks. Made-to-order pieces are non-returnable. Ring sizes US 3 to 12; for a quarter or half size, message me before you order. In gold, sizes 10.5 to 12 add a material fee; sterling silver is the same price in every size. Images are digital renderings of my CAD design. Each piece is made to order by hand, so your finished piece will vary slightly in color and finish.

Care. Remove your ring before the gym, gardening or hard work. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Have the prongs checked by a jeweler once a year, and every six months on sterling silver, which is softer than gold.

I design every Flow piece myself, sculpt it digitally, print it myself, add detail, and have it cast to order by trusted partners in the United States. I set, finish and inspect each one in my studio before it ships.
