I know ... it appears to be a blue-toned tanzanite, hey?! Well, believe it or not, it's a sapphire! And one of the most spectacular specimens I've ever seen, at that. Just absolutely the most gorgeous royal blue hue. Really very unusual to see in sapphires, as they're usually far more navy in colour and opaque in their refraction and reflection of light from within the stone.
My curly and twirly diamond and 18ct white gold ring.
A tri-coloured bespoke piece that I made a few months back. The client saw this particular design with a circular centre set section, but required the ring to be broader. We therefore chose the oval as a substitute and widened the two bands as well, for a much more "va-va-voom" overall effect. Simply gorgeous on her slender, lengthy fingers - perfect to carry off a design like this at its best.
A simple solitaire with a few twists - "something old" (the antique feel created with the millgrain finish and scroll detail), and "something new" (the accompaniment of a few smaller diamonds around the centre setting and down the sides of the band).
A two-toned version of a French Victorian styled ring.
Sometimes a yellower diamond just looks so great in contrast to a white or black (as per the top image) background/base. They really "pop" in this setting, as opposed to the more conventional idea of setting yellow diamonds in a yellow gold setting - so done and dull.
