Wings of Love and Adventure: Jesse’s Custom Alexandrite Engagement Ring for Christie

In the heart of a love story that spans continents and shared passions, Jesse sought the perfect symbol to mark his commitment to Christie. For such a special moment, he sought out Takayas, known for his ability to weave personal stories into breathtaking pieces of art. The quest for the ideal engagement ring led Takayas on a journey of his own, searching far and wide to find a natural alexandrite with the exact hues Christie desired.


Jesse's initial notes to Takayas were filled with inspiration drawn from the couple's unique journey together. Takayas took these notes to heart, deeply considering each element to create a ring that would encapsulate Jesse and Christie's shared experiences and passions.


At the heart of the ring is a resplendent cushion-cut elongated alexandrite. This rare and captivating stone, known for its color-changing properties, represents the ever-evolving nature of their love. The ring was crafted in yellow gold, a timeless choice that symbolizes the warmth and depth of their relationship.


Inspired by the ethereal wings from the Celestial Collection in the Beyond by Takayas collection, the shoulders of the ring pay homage to the couple's adventures. These wings symbolize their journeys from the serene landscapes of Switzerland, where they reconnected, to Japan, where their bond blossomed and where Jesse plans to propose. The wings also serve as prongs that gently caress the alexandrite, giving the ring an asymmetrical feel with a wing on each side.


Delicate cherry blossoms and petals intertwine seamlessly with a filigree design, flowing into the wing motif. This detail captures the beauty of their shared memories and the fleeting yet timeless moments they’ve cherished together.

As a final personalized touch, Takayas place the couple’s initials in the under gallery. The elegant cursive letters glisten against the ever changing colors of the alexandrite.


We were delighted to hear that the couple were engaged in Japan this spring. The ring stands ready to mark the beginning of their next chapter together. With its carefully chosen alexandrite and thoughtfully crafted design, this engagement ring is more than a piece of jewelry—it is a radiant symbol of a love story that is uniquely theirs!
