Case Study: Creating a Unique “Cherry Blossom Tree” Engagement Ring

A man, starting a long-distance relationship due to relocation three months ago, wanted to reassure his girlfriend living in their hometown with an engagement ring.

 

When asked about the ring's design, he envisioned "a design with a center diamond that can be worn casually on dates." Ultimately, he wanted his partner to choose.

 

For his partner, the gesture of his personally selecting a gift would likely be deeply appreciated, we carefully discussed and decided to present the diamond itself rather than an engagement ring for the proposal.

"I absolutely want a high 4C grade diamond, and over 0.3 carats, colorless D..."

 

Through his research at other brands, he believed a diamond's value depended on its grade and price. Accordingly, we revisited the charm of diamonds as gemstones.

 

Each diamond, formed deep within the earth over billions of years, is unique. We explained that clarity and color are individual characteristics of each stone.

 

"In that case, I want to give a diamond with a special story."

 

Responding to his changed mindset, we introduced diamonds with carat numbers related to angel numbers and the proposal planned for the 22nd, including cherry blossom and star specialty faceted diamonds. He then liked the "cherry blossom facet" as they often go cherry blossom viewing together and it was perfect for an April proposal.

 

 

"I thought yellow color was a flaw, but I've come to see it as a unique feature."

 

With a happy smile, he booked a follow-up appointment, and after a successful proposal, he revisited the atelier with his partner.

 

Trying on all the rings at ith, her preference was for designs with textures on the surface and concentrated on gold metal. Utilizing her sensibility, we decided to create a unique "Cherry Blossom Tree" that wasn't too engagement-ring-like but filled with thought.

The ring features a warm white gold band with a bark-like engraving, adorned with a diamond which has motif of a cherry blossom. This special sakura tree design promises to always bring blooms to your hearts.
