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.
