Hand-Sculpted Rose Ring with Pink Sapphire by Dawn Vertrees


Every petal on this ring was born in fire. Using the centuries-old lost-wax method, I sculpt a real rosebud in wax, layer by delicate layer, until the bloom feels alive on your finger. Then the wax vanishes in the kiln, replaced by molten metal that captures every curl, every vein, every whisper of nature.

Choose Your Metal, Choose Your Mood
• Sterling Silver – crisp, cool, everyday poetry
• 14K White Gold – sleek modern romance
• 14K Yellow Gold – warm sunshine on petals
• 14K Rose Gold – the original “Rosegold bloom” glow
• 18K White, Yellow & Rose Gold – ultimate luxury upgrade
Rosegold Bloom Edition – because love should blush.

The Heart of the Rose: Pink Sapphire
A single natural pink sapphire (approx. 4 mm, ~0.35 ct) nestles in the center like morning dew. Its delicate blush mirrors the rose itself—symbol of passion, tenderness, and promises that last.

Details at a Glance
Ring Width (band): 3.5 mm
Rose Head Diameter: ~12.5 mm
Rose and Stone Height: 7.72
Stone: Natural pink Sapphire
Finish: High-polish with oxidized petal shadows
made for you.

New Lemon Quartz Vine Design



I have been sitting on this stone for a while now but the design finally hit me while in Winston-Salem at a convention. It was the perfect stone for trying out my new Vine Design.

I'm not particular fond of the tradition straight line settings that most stones sit in...especially since I don't care for straight lines in the first place.
My father has always told me that nothing in nature grows straight, so I sculpted this ring as if the vines were holding the ring up and my leaves were holding the stone down.

Well I'm happy to say...I'll probably never go back to a straight setting again. I think it came out beautiful...
