The marquise halo
Custom Remount
Design Process
We started with removing, weighing and grading the client's center and side stones. Information gleaned from the interview regarding the client's lifestyle and aesthetic inspired the to-scale design options. Once the design was chosen and the quote was approved, 14k white gold fabrication stock and matching accent diamonds were ordered. Each element of the design was built and polished before assembly. Throughout each stage, images were shared with the client making her part of the creation of her custom remount.
The Bright Cut
Custom Design
Design Process
This partial halo style engagement ring designed to protect the center diamond has a wide feel and was made to be worn without a wedding band. Hand fabricated with a nod to vintage or period jewelry, this 14 karat white gold and diamond mounting is set in a common bead and bright cut style trimmed in millgrain.
The European Heirloom
Reproduction Design
Design Process
When the mounting you cherish is beyond repair, Reproduction is a valuable option. As you can see in the "Before" images, the original mounting was missing one old mine cut diamond and still had hints of the original detail. We replaced the missing diamond, and remounted all of the original old european and mine cut diamonds into a new platinum mounting and recreated the gorgeous filigree, hand engraving and millgrain detail from the original ring, creating a lasting heirloom.

The Nautical Pearl
Custom Design
Design Process
Using Emily's strand of rich, lustrous, golden pearls, we fabricated this nautical, yet modern toggle clasp of her vision in 18 karat yellow and 14 karat white gold with round brilliant cut diamonds. The single pearl drop earrings were designed and fabricated to blend the nautical feel of the necklace, creating a one of a kind suite.
“Bower & Co. made my dream pearls become a reality. Ellen exquisitely captured the design I had envisioned in my mind. I love that my “one of a kind” piece is personally signed by the artist that made it. Bower & Co.’s level of experience, craftsmanship and professionalism is unmatched in the jewelry trade. I admire their attention to detail and the excellent service they provide. I can’t wait to add another custom piece to my jewelry collection made by Ellen and Mary!!”
The Wedding Set

Each view creating a life of it's own, the top view is strong, modern-classic while the profile is deilicately detailed in filigree and diamonds.
A variety of bands were designed and created to sit flush against the engagement ring giving the ability to change the look of her set as she desires.
The "anniversary" Necklace
Custom Design
Design Process
This magnificent platinum and diamond necklace was designed and created as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. Each detail of the design was created to symbolize twenty-five years of love and life; choosing an exact 2.5 carat round diamond on center with twelve .25 carat diamonds on each side, equalling twenty-five diamonds total. The hand engraving and filigree on each link further defines this unique piece, finishing with her monogram on the clasp.
The Dynamic Halo
Custom Remount
Design Process
Kathy's 14 karat white gold engagement ring was designed to remount her diamond of sentimental value. Desiring a flush fitting wedding band, we still managed to create a dynamic shape. Including a fancy halo and an undulating shank, various sizes of specially matched diamonds were set in a common bead and bright cut style with millgrain detail.
“I inherited my mother’s diamond solitaire and knew I wanted to use it as the center stone in a new engagement ring.. I started out with a Pinterest board of almost 100 different styles and narrowed it down to 19 before I met with Mary for the initial consultation.. She took all of my random ideas and was able to see a pattern of my style.. The designs were all so beautiful but I was able to choose my favorite. My ring feels like a beautiful, sparkly crown with my mother’s diamond as the centerpiece.”
The Gold Glory
Custom Design
Design Process
In all her high karat glory, this engagement ring was hand fabricated in 22 karat gold. 14 bezel set diamonds encircle a large round brilliant cut diamond on a hat bezel. It also features granulation, a hammer texture and satin finish, all applied by hand. It was designed to accommodate a flush fitting wedding band, making it a very unique wedding set.
The Brazilian Emerald
Custom Design
Nicole's gorgeous platinum and diamond right-hand ring was built around the chosen 2 carat Brazilian emerald cut emerald. It features a classic gallery, a split shank and diamonds set in a french style around the halo and span half way down the shank.
“My 40th Birthday was approaching and I had dropped some subtle hints to my husband that I would really enjoy an emerald ring as it is my birthstone. I never would have imagined the ring Mary would carefully create for me would be as stunningly beautiful as it ended up. It could not have been more perfect. I love knowing that I will be able to pass such a special piece down to my daughter someday.”

The Blue Topaz
Custom Remount

Using Laura's matched pair of oval blue topaz, we hand fabricated a low profile right-hand ring and added a fine make center diamond in compliment. This Custom Remount includes a bright cut top plate, scrolling filigree and a surprise diamond on the north and south view and millgrain detail, all in 14 karat white gold.
“It was fun to get pictures of the ring as it was progressing. It’s wonderful to have a ring that’s uniquely my own. I think of it as my “Frozen” ring because of it’s clear cool colors.”
The Ruby Ring

Creating a Custom Remount for her diamond lead to us pairing it with two gorgeous fine make rubies, because she was inspired by one of our previous designs. This low profile, platinum engagement ring has clean gallery work and a bright cut top plate accented with millgrain.

This is a ring that we will pass down to our daughter and cherish for the rest of our lives. My family truly appreciates and highly recommends Bower & Co.”
The Breath catcher
Custom Design
“When I came to Bower & Co. to look for an engagement ring I knew absolutely nothing about jewelry or the process. Ellen and Mary walked me through every step and were very patient with me and my lack of knowledge. The care and time they put in their customer experience is unmatched. Though we did everything over the phone or through email, a great relationship was built that helped me get the most out of my first time jewelry experience. When I opened the box for the first time it literally took my breath away. I could not believe how much the diamonds danced. Bower & Co. comes highly recommended and I’m proud that their craftsmanship will be a part of my life forever.”
