Available from Hallmark Goldsmiths in Retford.
It all began when a lovely young gentleman came into the shop with a group of old vintage rings that he had inherited, he wanted to use the diamonds and the gold to create something completely different for his girlfriend and now fiancé, as they were not to his taste. So after a long discussion to find out exactly what he wanted, Heather one of our onsite designers began drawing a few different designs for the customer to look at.
Once a decision had been made we set on with removing all the diamonds from the rings and melting down the remaining metal. From then we began long process of rolling and shaping the ring into something beautiful. After this process we then go ahead and set all the diamonds. He had chosen a setting that created a diamond shape, which gave the illusion of one very large diamond in the centre. There was then another three smaller diamonds set on each side of the shoulders to give the ring that extra sparkle.
It is one of our great joys reinventing old jewellery into something new and exciting, it means that the customer is able to keep the sentimentality and have something that nobody else has. I personally think the ring is fantastic and whilst photographing i genuinely did not want to remove it from my finger.

These are platinum handmade wedding rings designed to complement a very unusual scallop edge diamond set engagement ring. We designed the ladies ring to slot into her engagement ring perfectly, it reduces wear and feels more comfortable on the finger and creates a fantastic effect. She was very pleased with the finished product. Her fiancé wanted something to tie in with the theme but keeping it minimal and more masculine. So instead of scalloped edges we went with facets that followed the shape but kept a nice straight edge. We think the finished effect is one of the most unusual wedding rings we have made in recent years so we thought we would share it with the world.
