Wedding Rings

Being asked to create wedding rings is always an exciting endeavor. Two individuals deeply in love, seeking to formalise their commitment. The chosen metal was white gold, complemented by rich red Burmese rubies and diamonds, meticulously channel-set within an 18ct band. Upon measuring her finger size, we found it suitable for alternating three rubies and...

Horseshoe Ring

This amazing design was commissioned by a male client following a style of Ring that he had wanted for a long time. The 9ct Gold was supplied by him and this wide Ring emerged with the Horsehoe in White Gold and a Horse Head charm nestled in the middle. The Diamonds are graduated and the...

Aquamarine Halo Ring

This ring replaced an Engagement Ring and 2 fitted Wedding Rings, all in White Gold. It was decided to have just the one ring with ALL the gemstones together. So much easier to wear! After considering a number of styles this one was chosen to accommodate not only the smaller Diamonds which were removed from...

Sea Horse

It's fun to create a freeform design such as this Sea Horse that I was asked to make in 18ct Gold. The shape is cut out, the lines punched into the metal and then it is domed to give three dimensions and make room for the brooch pin at the back. The Sea Horse has...

2 Stone Ring

This ring came about from a client who wanted to combine these two stones but didn't quite know how. The colour combination of the yellow Citrine and the sharp green Peridot are very complimentary to each other. The ring was made from Gold supplied that was tested and found to be 18ct. ...

Round Sapphire Ring

The client presented me with a lovely round blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka, 7mm in diameter, a birthday gift. We then chose a design for a ring that was simple but very elegant and timeless in style, a statement. The result is an 18ct White Gold ring with a very wide surround of metal around...

Halo-Style Diamond Ring

An 18ct White gold ring with a central Diamond of 1/2 carat surrounded by 8 smaller Diamonds is called a Halo Ring. It's history dates back to Victorian days when this style was called a Flower Ring. They are such a classic design that remain evergreen. The setting is raised with a...

Unstamped Gold Jewellery

I regularly receive items of gold that are not stamped with a carat weight, such as 9ct or 375, 18ct or 750. These come from inheritances and are sometimes made in countries such as Sri Lanka where the British settled. This does not necessarily mean they are not of value!!!!! So do not...

IS IT REALLY GOLD?

I am often given a parcel of jewellery to assess. The first thing I do is to check the gold weight separating 9ct from 18ct sometimes there is 10 or 15 carat. Occasionally I find an item that is not stamped with that carat weight! This does not mean that it is...

Sapphire Ring

These are Australian Sapphires brought to me by a client who wanted the square blue Sapphire set at an angle with the smaller yellow Sapphires at the sides. The request was for a ring with the stones set low and easy to wear so it was suggested a rub-over setting would be the best...
