Custom Heirloom Engagement Rings by Carl Blackburn
Renaissance Style Engagement Ring
From the side, this Carl Blackburn engagement ring reveals its Renaissance-inspired craftsmanship in full dimension.
A luminous oval diamond is held high in dramatic eagle-claw prongs, giving the center stone a bold, elevated presence reminiscent of classical European jewelry traditions.
Beneath the diamond, the setting becomes richly architectural, with flowing, sculpted shoulders that feel carved rather than simply designed. Violin F-hole motifs emerge organically from the structure, accented by delicate diamond blossoms inspired by baby’s breath flowers.
Every curve carries a sense of story and symbolism, blending music, romance, and old-world ornament into a one-of-a-kind heirloom composition.
Carl Blackburn Custom Ring, San Diego
Seen from the front, the ring’s vintage influence reads in a quieter, more tailored way. The marquise diamond’s elongated shape brings a flattering, lengthening line across the finger, while the warm yellow gold frames its brilliance with classic richness.
The shoulders are finished with crisp milgraining — those tiny beaded borders that catch light softly and give the band a distinctly period feel.
The texture adds definition without overpowering the center stone, creating a balance between sparkle and craftsmanship.
Together, the proportions, the engraving, and the milgrain finish make this custom design feel timeless, romantic, substantial, and made to be cherished for generations.
