Cubic Zirconia Solitaire
The Milestone Solitaire: A Hand-Faceted Beginning
Every piece of jewelry carries a moment in time. This solid sterling silver ring marks one of the most defining milestones in my journey as an artisan: my graduation into Stage 4 of my apprenticeship under master goldsmith Peter Keep.
Instead of choosing a factory-cut stone, I wanted this ring to truly have a heartbeat. I spent hours at the bench faceting this champagne-gold cubic zirconia entirely by hand, cutting into it the focus, patience, and passion that drives my craft. It sits in a traditional four-claw decretive crown setting that I forged out of solid silver by hand—a project designed to teach apprentices the flawless alignment and symmetry used by master jewellers worldwide.
When you look closely at the setting and the way the light catches the facets, you aren't just seeing a ring; you are seeing the exact moment my hands learned the discipline of the trade. It represents the bridge between practicing a craft and mastering an art.
By bringing this piece into your life, you aren't just buying jewelry—you are actively writing the next chapter of my story with me. Thank you for supporting independent craftsmanship and choosing jewelry made with an authentic heart.
The Heart Behind the Piece:
The Story: Handcrafted as a benchmark project during my professional trade apprenticeship under Peter Keep.
The Stone: Brilliant champagne CZ uniquely faceted by my own hands.
The Metal: Hand-carved, solid 925 sterling silver four-claw decretive crown setting.
The Fit: size 6 or L 1/2 Finished with a comfortable, high-polished band meant for daily wear.
