Two from One
My client inherited a traditional ruby and diamond ring from her grandmother, and wanted to use the ruby in a ring for herself, and possibly the diamonds in another piece. The original ring had an oval ruby as the central stone. The challenge is making a new ring that the client adores, whilst respecting the intention or feel of the original piece. In this instance this ring was to be worn daily. I designed and make a chunky 18ct warm yellow gold ring, featuring the ruby in a bezel setting, flanked by gold, trillion citrines. We did then use the diamonds from Granny�s ring to make a modern eternity ring.
Gold | The most beautiful and highly sought-after precious metal has been used to make jewellery since long before the beginning of recorded history. |
Ruby | The most famed and fabled red gemstone, ruby is highly desirable due to its colour, durability and lustre and can command the highest per carat price of any coloured gemstone. |
Citrine | is a member of the quartz family; it is a quartz crystal or cluster which ranges in colour from pale yellow to dark sherry orange. Once widely considered as a poor relation to topaz, citrine is enjoying something of a revival in contemporary jewellery. It is a beautiful stone found around the world. Citrine is a bright, sunny and warm gemstone which is said to lift the spirits and heal the body. |
Diamond | We use high quality (G SI) diamonds, sourced in London's Hatton Garden and individually selected. |
