Ascher lines

These pics demonstrate the process we go through. Beyond design we spend a ton of time creating superior jewelry. This mounting was designed to hold our customers 4.5 ct ascher cut diamond. The center stone is very special being a VVS E color stone. The mounting is a simple design that sweeps up to hold the center stone. We chose to use a bar set style to show off as much of the stone as possible. We also wanted to show as much of the side and bottom of the stone as possible.

We start by assembling the parts then we burnish (rub) the metal with tungsten pointers to compress and polish the platinum. We also use 1 mm strips of sand paper to polish and clean up the nooks and crannies.

After the prepolishing we attack the ring with soft brissel brushes and buffing wheels. This ring requires 6 hours of polishing.

Then we cut the seats for the diamonds and polished everything again.

The finished ring looks more like mounting flows off of the diamond then a mounting clamped on a diamond.
