Fiona gets more diamonds. . .

The thin edge of this ring was originally a wedding ring on it's own. It is a three colour gold twist, but after so many years of wear it was getting a little thin. So it was decided that Fiona needed something new, but she wanted to incorporate her original ring as has huge sentimental value.
Over a coffee, we discussed what Fiona would like the most - more diamonds! "I think I deserve them after all these years" she commented. So, I drew Fiona a set of designs and she chose the one she liked.
I added a 9ct white gold ring to the edge of the original wedding ring and set three diamonds along the top, and I added an inner sleeve of rose gold to make the whole ring a bit chunkier. The rose gold and white gold picked out the colours in the tri-colour twist quite nicely.
Fiona is pleased with her new ring - and there is even a little extra room around the rest of the ring for more diamonds to be added as subsequent presents from her husband . . . !

Signet Ring
This is a signet ring I have just made. It is made from two rings that were melted down and remodeled. The stone is a blood stone (green with flecks of red) and it had a seal engraved into it. These usually represent the family name and when pressed into wax leave their reverse impression.

One Off Ring
This is the latest ring I have made for stock - it is a yellow/green quartz with a fancy cut. I carved the ring out of wax so that it would fit the stone perfectly.
Kelda's 18th Birthday Present
Happy 18th birthday to Kelda!,
This is the ring which Kelda and her Mum commissioned as a special birthday present. It is silver, set with a green tourmaline. I textured the surface of the ring using a highly polished round ended hammer - it gives a lovely dappled effect.
Paul and Fiona
Congratulations to Paul and Fiona!
Paul proposed on the 19th May and Fi said yes . Ahh - they are a lovely couple.
They are having their engagment ring designed with me at the moment. Paul proposed with a silver and topaz ring and a selections of designs.
