Rachel and Martin

Rach and Martin came to visit me in Eastbourne last weekend. I've known them both since university in Leicester (It scares me to think that it is nine years since we graduated!) They are getting married this summer and I am to make their wedding rings.

I was a little bit surprised when I opened my front door only to find Martin filming the whole momentous occasion - I guess he doesn't want to miss a thing! As the sun was shining, for what seems like the first time this year, I took them for a walk down to Eastbourne seafront. We had worked up a good appetite so rewarded ourselves with fish and chips from Odyssey Chip Shop - lovely! After a quick pyjama stop in M&S, then we went for a coffee. A Fine day was had by all.

We eventually got around to designing wedding rings when we got back home, Martin proved to be more difficult customer than Rach -now there's a surprise ;0)) But we came up with a really nice idea. Rachel knew what she wanted, something with a twist to fit in with her engagement ring.

So, it is just a case of me making them. . .



This is Rachels engagement ring. Platinum, set with pink and white diamonds.

The wedding rings will be revealed at a later date. Watch this space.
