Vintage-inspired Jewelry16

Using a cutting-edge technology program called "GemVision", Shapiro Diamonds offers you the ability to to virtually "grow" a jewelry piece using Computer Aided Design (CAD). This technique offers you the ability to shape every aspect of your piece "virtually" and participate fully in the the design process. You'll be able to see 360 degree pictures of your ring, as it is being designed.

Together with our skilled graphic designer, you will be able to see and make changes to your jewelry piece prior to its creation. Because the program utilizes the exact dimensions of the stones you select, the visual renderings will be proportionally accurate.

Below are the C.A.D. graphic renderings of a ring we've recently created.

Three Stone Diamond Engagement Ring - Round with Trillions
The center diamond is a round brilliant cut diamond weighing 1.70 carats. The diamond is fine white (I) in color and slightly imperfect two (SI2) in clarity. The diamond is Ideal Plus Hearts and Arrows. The diamond has two trillion cut diamonds on each side of the center stone weighing .48 carats total weight, .24 carats each. The trillion cut diamonds match the color and clarity of the center stone. The diamonds are set in a custom, handmade 950 platinum setting. The ring shank has a knife edge. The center diamond is held into place with a four prong basket setting. The three stones cathedral slightly, widening the ring galleries and allowing light to shine up through the diamonds.

**Design recommenced for center stones weighing .50 (half a carat) and up.

The virtual renderings may appear overly heavy, thick or too bulky. This is especially true with the prongs holding the stones in place. Our designers must leave extra metal for the setter to bend around the stone, securing it safely. The extra metal is then filed away presenting a much smoother, softer and more contoured appearance. The final piece is significantly thinner, more dainty, and more contoured that the rendering depicts.
