New England Patriots' Defensive Tackle - Jace Sayler

New England Patriots' Defensive Tackle - Jace Sayler

Everyone knows about Jace Sayler's passion to flatten NFL offensive linemen.

 

At Wedding Bands & Company, we met Jace's "softer side: his passion for subtle perfection in every intricate detail of the ring he would offer his beloved Christine, as he asked her to be his wife.  
Together we created a ring that's magnificent to everyone, and uniquely personal to Jace and Christine.

Here's what Christine says: "All I can say is, OH MY GOD!  It is breathtaking!  
You made a ring that is ours alone and represents so much to us and our family.
It will pass through many generations.  You made a masterpiece that I get to call mine! I just love it!"

They may not have known it at the time, but a family antique would eventually unite a loving couple. For Jace and Christine's engagement, they knew their special bond deserved an equally special, unique Engagement ring. So they came to Koorosh and Oscar with an understanding of  Koorosh & Valencia Fine Design dedication to their Art-Jewelry they create stunning pieces of Wedding Jewelry, with a personalized meaning for each and every client

With every Jewelry Design, Koorosh and Oscar want to create a unique Jewelry piece that will constantly bring a couple closer together throughout their lives, so they start from the very beginning of their bond.

Jace has a beautifully Hand-engraved, antique sword, handed down from his great-grandfather. He had hung it on the wall of his living room to display its magnificence, as the historical sword means a great deal to him and his family. When he started dating Christine, she would come over and always comment on the sword. She was fascinated by its incredibly detailed designs sculpted into the metal and the story behind it.

It was this sword that made Jace realize how Christine truly cared for him how a part of him and his family could mean so much to her. When they said they wanted a customized engagement ring, Koorosh told them to bring in a personal item that means something to them. They, of course, brought in the unique hand-crafted sword.

Koorosh examined the sword's detail to begin creating the couple's new Personalized Engagement Ring Design. The grip of the sword has sculpted petal-like designs. Koorosh translated the design to line the band of the engagement ring. Similarly, the pommel at the top of the sword is a gold sculpture of the head of a man dressed in traditional armor. The ribbed texture of the armor fit nicely in small crevices of the engagement ring.

The scabbard of the sword, which covers the blade when not in use, is incredibly intricate, with spectacular engravings depicting men in battle and religious symbols. The centerpiece of the sword is a bright ruby-red cross with a rich blue crown, a symbol that has great significance in his family. Koorosh knew it needed to be an important part of the engagement ring, but not detract from the Gemstone.

The final design shows striking, complex designs, with the couple's initials inscribed below the diamond -one side of the ring shows J C and the other side shows C J. The crown and cross symbol is on the inside of the engagement ring, using brilliant, colorful gemstones. With Oscar and his team of Expert Jewelry-Artists, the unique design of the engagement ring is brought to life by crafting detailed engravings and beautifully cut jewels.

The couple is bedazzled by their ring's intricacies, and they know Jace's special heirloom will always be with his wife.

About the Author

Designer: Koorosh Daneshgar   Jeweler: Oscar I Valencia

 

Oscar Valencia and Koorosh Daneshgar already share more than thirty years of professional experience in creating magnificent fine jewelry. Their extraordinary talents are fully synergistic: Koorosh is a master designer. Oscar is a master gemologist/jeweler.

In 1999, when they formed Wedding Bands & Co. (WBC), they hoped for enough success to support their young families by making fine jewelry in their tiny, two-bench shop in the world- renowned Mallers Jewelers Center. They achieved that success promptly, serving all distribution levels of the jewelry trade.

Wedding Bands & Company has web presence that's earned worldwide internet success at all trade levels, and creates its own proprietary jewelry line, branded Koorosh & Valencia Fine Design.

Since 1999, WBC has (three times) moved to a larger quarters in the same building, the jewelry trade's Midwest epicenter. Today, WBC is that building's largest full-service jeweler, with a spacious, gracious fine-jewelry showroom, executive offices, design department, diamond library, computers labs, and fully equipped casting/finishing/gemstone-setting facilities.

One by one, WBC recruited its gifted team of jewelry artisans. Day by day, it acquired the acumen, talent, and capital equipment to bring all jewelry-making process in house - from paper-and-pencil designs through dazzling finish jewelry. "With work in the hands of artists we know and trust, we can be confident about quality control, "Koorosh says. "Meanwhile, we control costs, and pass on those savings to our clients."

Koorosh and Oscar share something else, equally important: It's a passion to create jewelry designs so wonderful, with gemstones so magnificent, craftsmanship so elegant, at prices so affordable, that clients cannot find their match anywhere else...

"Our clients have beautiful taste, and they're incredibly smart. Our repeat customers are very well informed about fine jewelry. Others are eager to learn about jewelry and gems, and we're delighted to teach them. They know that a huge retail price tag doesn't always mean that the jewelry itself is magnificent. The jewelry we make is important to our clients. They're too discerning for ordinary jewelry. I love working with them to create jewelry that's theirs alone," Koorosh observes..

KOOROSH DANESHGAR Design Chief- Since I was a very young diamond-setter, I've been intrigued by the interaction of magnificent gemstones and the designs created for their settings. I love to create unique and perfect designs. I love to keep up with the designs of others, too, and to observe as styles evolve and change.

I Grew up in Persia. Some say my designs (like my language) have a Persian accent. It's three-dimensional sculpture, gorgeous from every viewpoint. Our work responds to contemporary market tastes and fashions. But I feel another call, too. I dream up jewelry consistent with traditional design principles, so that our creations never seem outdated, even as decades unfold. I follow my taste and my heart, expressed in age-old design principles of grace, balance and proportion, to create beautiful pieces for today and tomorrow.

The jewelry we make will become family heirlooms. It's important. "I love to create jewelry of any kind, but my specialty always has been engagement rings. It's an honor I feel deeply. Every design is special to me.

OSCAR VALENCIA President/Master Jeweler - One of my favorite things about our success is that now we're able to offer our clients everything that makes their jewelry dreams come true, at prices they can afford. Our production protocol takes the costly, risky steps out of jewelry making, thanks to 21st century technology in CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing). But we reserve all the jewelry-making steps that require artistry and experience for talented human hands.

Starting when I was a very little boy, my uncle – a master jeweler – let me work in his shop after school. At first, I was just pushing a broom; even so, I made sure the floor was perfect, because my job made me feel important. Meanwhile, I fell in love with the beauty of jewels. My uncle taught me everything about gems that my little mind could absorb. I have studied and loved gemstones ever since. I love the glory of a perfectly cut stone. I love the brilliance and fire of a diamond that kicks rainbows of color. And I love the drama of how a perfect setting makes a diamond even more beautiful.

I knew I'd be a jeweler forever. But I couldn't have known what making jewelry would be like in the 21st century, with an ideal business partner, and in America. If I'd been given a preview, I wouldn't have believed my life would be like this.

 

Can I ask someone to design and create my wedding dress?

When I was younger, before I got married, I had picked out a dress that I was in love with. 6 years later, when I was finally married, the dress was no where to be found and with a short engagement my options were limited. We are coming up on our 10 year anniversary when I will renew my vows with my husband i want that dress (FYI: I had to cancel my real wedding due to a death in the family and we ended up at the courthouse and I want to have a real wedding). Anyway, what I am wondering is can I call a seamstress or someone, tell them what I want and have them make it? I have time to save up to pay for it, and I wouldn't ask, except I cant find the design anywhere. It's a patriotic dress, white and the back/train of the dress is the American flag. My husband is a Marine and the dress would look great with his blues - anyway, a shot in the dark, but I thought someone might be able to help.

You most certainly can have your dream dress made just for you! What you need to do is contact a seamstress/dressmaker and make an appointment to get together to go over your design ideas. I have no idea what kind of cost you may be looking at, but they should be able to give you an estimate. The sooner the better because there will have to be fittings and revisions will have to be done before the final product is complete! BTW your dress sounds beautiful with the flag as the train, and will look gorgeous with the Marine blues!
Congratulations on nearing your 10 year anniversary!
