Celtic Cathedrals, "How these Celtic Designs are designed
We image the art, either your art our ours, over a known distance for the width and the length for any given size. I'd like to invite you to
visit a new explaination page where I give ya the formula for how to build and design yer own art!!! I'd also like to give you a list of books as resources to use, that you can get very inexpensively at Borders, Amazon or any bookstore near you...
A set of celtic design bands with yellow gold rails
Made to order, with platinum center area, and no antiquing, this is a very unique set of rings, with a continuos pattern, and custom engraving to match the font on the wedding invites!! ...enjoy!
I normally suggest a lightly antiqued background, to help to define the design, but as you can sede this design is well defined, and another customer supplied design that we brought into the world... Unique??? You bet!!! Expensive??? "NO WAY!!!"
The "Dover Press" has an incredible selection of royalty free art that you can use to create your unique design... If you plan on custom designing your own rings this series is a must... Here's a few links to my favorite books of designs I highly recommend for your rings... For the Cathedral make the design 20% longer than the listed length for the "Wings" and yer set for a marvelous family heirloom... When doing yer art also leave about a 5% to 10% of the length of the listed length for "Sizing"... Leave that spot blank at the extreme back of the ring...
The celtic designs are also great for a more standard diamond solitare style too.
This is one of my favorite designs, and look how very nicely the diamond and crown ride on the engagement ring... Nice and strong, and very fashionable, and totally unique too for we "build and design these ourselves", not like repackaged retailers who order from an off-shore factory... Plush and lush, I doubt you will ever see anything you like better than this, a custom set made for you by the Tradeshop Staff... Enjoy the alternative to strip mall bands.

Alternatives to the mundane, "Celtic Dragons", here's another fun celtic design
set with a small Ruby.. When you think about celtic designs avoid thinking about the factory made good others offer, we build to order, with unique and exclussively original designs, and we can use your art as well! No limitations, take no prisioners!!! The only limitation if your imagination, not your budjet or tolerance for brain-dead sales-clerks... Here's the mission is quality!
We also are doing limited "Pierced Celtics" too!!!
Here's a shot of a master plate design from client's art work.
Starting with a great drawing the rest is easy,
Custom manufacturing, Platinum Mountings flanked with trillions, outstanding!
We make these for all shapes and all sizes of center diamonds folks, and you will love the prices and the quality. The trillions I seem to use the most are the 5mm tip to tips, and in the finest of "VS-E-F" color you can expect the diamonds to cost in the $1500 range for the finest of the fine. This fprojection is based on very full stones, for a range in 5mm trillions expect a total weight of the pair to vary between 0.60 to 0.90 carats, and a dollar range between $1000 to $1500 is usual.
We also stock some finely engraved ones too, for example this one is but $2500 ready to set the center!
I make this is both a heavy weight shank and a lighter version too. This is perhaps the most classy and the nicest trillion solution out there, and the great news is that in platinum the heavy shank ring can come in as little as $600-$750 for this ring in platinum, ready to set the trillions and center. I price this as a blank for weights of side stones will vary, available in 18Kt, 14Kt and platinum, with any side stones you wish...
You can design yer own ring! using fine parts as shown, and we also do
Here's another example of a princesscut center, with trillions, in platinum.
And for GemStones flanked by diamond trillions this ring just cannot be beat.
A shot of the Parts for a massively large emerald cut ring in progress. I just love the "Low-Rider Look" for it's both easy to wear and trouble free.
Hit this link for more examples of Trillion Custom Projects we've done...
Another beautiful Sapphire and Trillion Diamond ring!
For example,
This 1.69 ct. round sapphire with 0.56 total weight of diamond trillions and the paltinum ring..Stunning color and classic design.
Flanked by a blaze of finely matched trillion diamonds, and set into this nice low slung platinum quality mounting, it's always a mystery to me why folks think Platinum is expensive, it's the "MARKUPS" that were always what was expensive, when the retailers crank a 300% markup you can't afford it... So now we work direct, "Cool huh?!?"
We make your platinum Custom Projects with style and with class!
Here's a powerful Gent's Platinum Ring, This is the Wax stage... This is where you can start to see the mass and the style, the design is either set for a fine result or it is not at this stage, so here we like to have our clients take a good look... We do fine custom flawlessly because we take the time to make sure that we're building what you want. Quality does not have to be expensive folks, not if you work direct and save that retail merchant's 300% average markups it is not... Just know that the web offers us the ability to go directly to you and ask... "How may I be of assistance?"
Here's the finished ring in all it's glory, platinum and diamonds, a killer combo!
Made in the coolest of platinum mountings, with the double roundells protecting the very nice diamond, so much better and wearable than the strip mall ring we pried the diamond out of... Sleek and sound, and very low to the hand, and a ring that is designed to be worn and enjoyed daily, and to delight for every second too... That Gary is a champ at capturing the flavor of the rings, but this is special, and you just can not capture the weight and the elegance of platinum in pictures... So get that hand ready gal, here's one darned fine family heirloom coming at ya!!!!!!!
Here's another wax carving job where
the channel will be set with matched diamonds, and soon to be set with a 1.02 ct round diamond...Just define the project, we will build it... ...and even if you need an adjustment, we're always here and ready to rock...
Make the ring narrower a bit, no problem Tapered faster, and lush. This site is not about the "sale", rather we're about the customer being delighted to have found us, and letting their imaginations free.
Do you have a larger gemstone you'd like to get a pendant made for?
This pendant has twin customer supplied tanzanites, and is a freeform sort of scroll, and a very nicely heavy and weighty pendant this is... Note the side view, the stones are very nicely inside the pendant, so the back rides flat...
Want elegant hand engraved built just for you? "
Can do!"
Platinum and delicately engraved, the closer you look the more you'll enjoy our work, and no snotty attitudes here or bloated prices... ...well, at least the high prices are gone :)...
Soon to be a fully custom incredible engraved masterpeice of a ring!!!
Now remember folks, this all started as an idea, and here's the custom wax for this dreamy project ...as the crowd noise subsides and the drumm roll fades, ya know folks... What you are looking at it uncompromising quality and the products of dedicated "real people" craftsmen (and women) who build what you see... There is a real difference between a retail jeweler and what I do, both in price and passion... I have spent a lifetime building fine jewlery, not jewelry chains in the sun-belt or an empire... ...so now I build an empire, where all are safe from bloated 300% markups, and can bask in the sun of quality and value, without betting "Burned" you might say... Halogens can do that you know :)
Love Pearshape Side Diamonds? 18Kt for the Round Diamond, elegant solution.
It all starts here in custom... Here's a wax with pearshapes flush set into the shank
For example, this ring is a totally custom ring built with twin matched pearshape set flush into the shank, a very nice sleek trouble free solution.
Look for the perfect diamond in either my Diamond Specials page (in house) or the Diamond Search Engine for over 20,000 quality offerings.
This particular diamond was a 0.97 carat AGS "Triple Ideal Cut" fantastic "F-VS2"... So, appearant perfection was in the bag here from the start Built strong and built smart, the pearshape diamonds are contained within the shank, no prongs and no snags!!! Basket style custom center section...
Pearshapes are cool with fancy shapes too, here's a ring custom wax similar to the ring shown, except with an oval center diamond
Soon to be another platinum and 18kt heirloom...
THE finished ring!! We thrive on custom, but we're "real jewelers" folks, not sale-clerks... Clerks stand behind counters, while master jewelry "keep the promises and make dreams come true"... Avoid clerks like Ebola plauge, call us instead and get more for less.
***And a note to the retail jewelry store folks reading this...
"I've been building fine products like this for thirty years for the trade, and I've found most clerks were generally to stupid to recognize the differences they held in their hand... ...so now I work for you folks, without the dis-interested middle-men and "Clerks"... "A pox on the malls!"...
Real people appreciate us, and we them... I mean, just how cool and a ring box be??? {Grin}...
The AirLine Shank is great, we got 'em in platinum, 18Kt and 14Kt for all sizes
This nice .55 ct. in an E color, SI1, set in this 18 karat setting is so sweet. The engagement sits next to an 18 karat comfort fit band (Standard), and note how very nicely flush that they fit together, you've got a very classy wedding set for her you'll both enjoy it for many years to come! Quality is not expensive folks, the markups charged in retail are however, so just bookmark this site and watch the fun begin :)
Here's a great page of shanks, shown in platinum for the range of airline shanks available, and we do these in wider more plush versions of both platinum and gold, white and yellow.
Just add a quality crown and you have a world class ring. You do not have to be satisfied with just what the strip mall jeweler has inn their jewelry case when you understand how fine jewelry works, you can avoid high costs, get a better product and enjoy both the savings and your dollars working harder for you, more value is the key!
The Roman Laurel Leaf Engraved Ring, and matching diamond band.
Here it is, engraved to match, with a channel of matched diamonds"very nice" and shown in platinum.
The original ring from last March..
Ray engraves these himself, and
each one is carefully designed to last a lifetime, and to please every second of that time. In gold and Platinum, these are wonderful for fine diamonds. So, when yer tired of the mundain remember to bookmark this page right now, before you forget.
This style of ring I have made for princesscuts of all size as well as rounds, and for all sizes and shapes of diamonds, I have shown this with about every combination of side gems exept my very favorites, the princesscut sapphires... I like the sapphires best for many reasons, they are a very hard and verydurible stone, next only to diamond, and they add a dash of fine shimmery color that really adds interest to the ring. I like to use the 3mm finer princesscut sapphires too, not those cheap square cuts that others use, but brillianteered stones that complement your diamond.
For more examples of this style see my jewelry specials page, but always remember that I make these one at a time, and for any size diamond or colored stone, and for any size side stones too...
I do a
very cool version with bagguettes... so don't think that what you see is all I can do, for I can build what you want, the way that you want it, without the huge retail markups... Imagine that!
My site is not pure business, it's rather dedicated to inspiration and to kick start yer imaginations into seeing that you do not have to settle for the mundane jewelry offerings in strip malls, and chain stores. Now you have a choice, and the web offers you new ways to think about things.
Platinum Mountings with Bagguettes you say?!?
We got 'em! Here's a beautiful F color IF emerald cut center that is really something to see. Combine it with these lovely 0.15 carat each baguettes, put it a platinum engagement ring, and she's got to love it! Please caution her to not wear it while driving, she may not be able to keep her eyes off of it. Very powerful, very strong, very low cost, "Kind of makes ya want to snicker at retail stores as you drive by, huh?!?" Why ever pay more for less again?!?
The diamond total about 0.30 carats combined and cost right at $450 for the pair, add in the platinum mounting and you add in about $650-$750 for the metal ring (includes setting) for a world class result.
Also know that this ring is available for Pearshape, Round, Ovals and Princesscuts, Rounds as well as Emerald cuts, and I suppose that it would be totally correct to say that this represents perhaps the most classic and the most elegant of all the classic mountings. Strong and smart, durible and beautiful this ring is a sure winner, and is about the nicest possible ring to complement a fine diamond center of any shape or size... For really large centers we use larger bagguettes, and for smaller we scale them down for the nicest ballence and look.
"Big time under Construction, Here we go folks!!!
