Pascual came to No Roses with a dream of a surprise engagement ring for his beloved, but he had no idea how to start narrowing down a design. We met with Pascual a few times and finally had an idea.

We called on our colleague Éitan Levy to join us on the project. After a few concepts, Pascual finally had his "AHA!" moment with this one-of-a-kind Guatemalan jade and white opal engagement ring.

The gallery shape represents an eternity of love and the jade is native to Pascual's birth country. The sterling silver setting is buffed to a satin finish, giving it an understated exotic look that suits this adventurous couple well.

Update: Pascual proposed on a trip to Japan and she said YES!!! Congratulations to the happy couple and bravo to Pascual for pulling off the surprise engagement ring!

This style of gemstone ring makes an excellent alternative engagement ring. To talk with us about your own version, email .
