This gorgeous full eternity ring came to me in a pretty poor way, it was missing nearly all the stones and had snapped through one of the settings because someone had stepped on it! The owner was planning on giving it to her daughter to celebrate a special birthday, so they came in together and we worked out what would look good and work well for her. After a little (ok, quite a lot!) of TLC it is back to it’s former glory with a new lease of life, set with alternating diamonds and emeralds all the way round, with safe and repaired settings and a lovely polish to complete the refurbishment! You wouldn’t know it was the same piece 😉
Jackey L 1, Internet 0!
A lovely young man came to the shop wanting me to make him an engagement ring for his beautiful fiancé. He had seen exactly what he wanted on the internet and showed me a picture, I knew we could make the pretty white gold setting with rich rose gold shank, and it was set with a three quarter carat diamond. I managed to source a gorgeous brilliant cut diamond with certificate to guarantee it’s quality (which was better than the quality of the internet one!) and it was a whopping 0.91ct, so bigger than the internet one! Best of all, I managed to make it for less than the internet one too! It doesn’t always happen that I can beat the price of a mass produced item, but if you give me a chance I will always give it a go and do my best! On this occasion it was Jackey L-1, internet-0!!! 😉
Alexandrite Update
If only I could do this beautiful gemstone justice in the picture! Alexandrite is a colour change gemstone that in daylight and artificial light shows a different colour, in very rare cases the change is from traffic light red to traffic light green! These gems can command incredible prices for such a vivid and complete change, but you can get Alexandrite with a much more subtle change in colour (and some TV shopping channels sell it with none, or hardly a change at all!) The one in the picture is a really good quality stone that demonstrates a definite and beautiful change in colour, albeit not perfect but superb nonetheless. We have just finished a full refurb of the ring including new claws to hold this precious gemstone safely for years to come!
Blue Hue!
A few more coloured gemstone rings from stock, gorgeous Tanzanite, stunning London Blue Topaz and lovely Amethyst all paired with awesome diamonds!

Watermelon Tourmaline :-)
This lovely ring was made in our workshop from a very unusual stone cut in a very unusual way! The tourmaline itself has very subtle colour graduation from pink to green, and it is cut with curved ends. Someone has snapped this up before I could get it on the website, but I wanted to show everyone anyway!

The Big Four!
I have just been taking some pictures of rings we have in stock for an advertising feature related to the increased interest in coloured gemstone engagement rings. Shown are ruby, sapphire and emerald together with diamonds. These beautiful gemstones are often referred to as “the big four” as they are the most popular and have properties so well suited to jewellery.

Love Paws!
Back in stock are these lovely little heart shaped earrings sporting a pawprint for all you lovers of fur babies! They are sterling silver, and priced at £17.

Garnet Galore!
We made this lovely ring recently for a young lady with a January birthday, using a really unusual barrel cut garnet. I love to choose unusual things to make and for the shop, this can mean rare and different gemstones as well as the cut of the gem. For any eagle eyed readers (you can see some fluff and flecks) I took this picture before the final polish!

Something a Little Different! And Back in Stock!
I’m sure you have seen these type of earrings around lately? They are called ear climbers, and have been worn by such luminaries as Meghan Markle, Emma Watson and Jennifer Lawrence. Time for you to give it a try? These beautiful silver star climbers have a bit of a twinkle and cost £22 🙂
Old Friend!
This lovely garnet ring just came to say hello! We made it for a customer some years ago, before I started taking pictures of our work and posting them on the website. I prized it away for a quick clean and photo! Good to see that it is still in good shape and she is still enjoying her unique creation every day!
