Pamela Lauz Jewellery created a custom engagement ring in Toronto that brings two families together through a Sri Lankan blue sapphire from the bride’s father and an heirloom diamond from the groom’s family. A hand-engraved vine-and-leaf design with a fleur-de-lis honours the bride’s French-Canadian roots.
This custom hand-engraved ring was featured on From A Woman’s Perspective with Marilyn Wetston on December 31, 2022. The show airs Saturdays at 8 a.m. on AM 740, 96.7 FM Toronto and Rogers 949.
Enjoy our New Year’s Eve episode!
Happy New Year’s Eve! As we get ready to cheer 2023 in style, I’d like to tell you about one of my favourite projects this year.
This custom engagement ring celebrates the coming together of 2 families. A lovely couple brought me a stunning large blue sapphire that the bride’s father obtained in Sri Lanka. They also brought a diamond ring that belonged to the groom’s family. The bride’s vision was an engagement ring that combined both the diamond and the sapphire in a design that inspired by vine branches and leaves.
I created an asymmetrical design where the ring is shaped like a circular branch connecting the diamond and sapphire. Each gem is held by a basket in the shape of a flower. We also worked with one of Canada’s top master engravers to hand-engrave a vine-like pattern all around the band.
To make this unique ring extra meaningful, the groom asked us to honour his bride’s French-Canadian family by including the fleur de lis in the engraving pattern. I loved every second while creating this meaningful ring and look forward to working on many more in the new year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Engagement Rings in Toronto
Can you combine heirloom stones from two families in a custom engagement ring?
Yes, heirloom stones from two families can come together beautifully in one custom engagement ring. For this design, we paired a large Sri Lankan blue sapphire from the bride’s father with an heirloom diamond from the groom’s family, connecting both stones in an asymmetrical vine-and-leaf design.

What can I do with an heirloom engagement ring I never wear?
If you have an heirloom engagement ring you never wear, we can explore a new design that feels more like you while keeping its sentimental stones part of your story. For this custom engagement ring, the groom’s family diamond was reset beside a Sri Lankan sapphire from the bride’s family in a new branch-inspired design.

Is a sapphire durable enough to wear every day?
Yes. Sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones and is highly resistant to scratching, which makes it a lovely choice for jewellery you plan to wear often. For this engagement ring, the sapphire and diamond create a beautiful pairing, and we assess the condition and suitability of stones you bring us before incorporating them into a custom design.
How is the price of a custom engagement ring worked out?
The price of a custom engagement ring depends on the design, including the metal, gemstones, complexity of the setting and specialist work such as hand engraving. We begin with a design phone call to learn about your wish list and answer your questions; after that, we send a detailed quote before meeting in our Toronto studio to discuss the finer design details.

Why engrave a family symbol into the band of an engagement ring?
Engraving a family symbol can make an engagement ring even more personal. For this ring, the groom asked us to incorporate a fleur-de-lis into the hand-engraved vine pattern to honour his bride’s French-Canadian heritage, bringing another layer of family meaning into the design.
