Designed by Carl Blackburn – La Jolla, San Diego
Created by Carl Blackburn, this custom three-stone engagement ring brings together clean modern lines with a distinctly bold, design-forward character.
At the center is a natural dark gray emerald-cut diamond, whose deep, smoky tone and crisp step facets give the ring a confident, contemporary presence.
Set in bright white metal, the elongated stone is lifted in an open, airy prong structure that allows light to enter freely and emphasizes the diamond’s strong, architectural form.
Seen from above, the ring’s clean lines and graphic balance come into full view. The emerald-cut gray diamond anchors the design with a confident, design-forward mood, while the kite-shaped side stones add an unexpected Art Deco-inspired edge.
Their icy sparkle frames the center stone with precision, enhancing its depth and individuality without overwhelming it.
Finished with a slim, high-polish band in bright white metal, the ring feels refined yet distinctive — a modern statement crafted with timeless attention to detail by C. Blackburn Jewelers.
