Diamond Butterfly engagement ring

Palladium, 1ct Si G/H diamond, diamond melee.

A diamond butterfly engagement ring.

The 1ct center diamond is matched with five diamond butterflies on the shoulders of the ring. The center gem has an open setting to allow the most light to hit the stone, for maximum flash and sparkle.

Available in any precious metal, set with precious gems of any colour.

“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
― John Keats to Fanny Brawne, July 3, 1819.

Bee ring

Palladium, 18k yellow gold, blue sapphires, white and yellow diamonds.

Jo wrote to me from England to enquire about creating a 'Bee ring' for her.
Together we designed a replacement wedding ring to represent all that is dear to her. Bee has been her nickname since childhood, her husband and children are represented by three letter Bs and the butterfly symbolizes new life.

Lava ring

Palladium, Rubies, Orange Sapphires (beryllium treated).

Michael from San Francisco wrote a lovely email to me about his girlfriend, which inspired the design of the Lava ring...

"...before she ever said "I love you" she hedged and said "I lava you," while holding up a picture she drew of a smiling volcano. Whenever I'm down, she pulls out that picture and bounces it around. I wanted to talk to you about making a ring for the girl I lava."

Cat ring

Platinum, 1.29ct G/H Si1 diamond, melee diamonds, precision cut blue sapphires.

Gideon asked Irina to marry him beneath a magnificent, rainbow-spanned waterfall in Iceland named Skogafoss. He was keen to represent this watery imagery in some way in his engagement ring for her. Cats are also of great significance in their lives and it was important to them that they were included somehow in the design.

From the top, the ring I designed and made shows two flowing lines of diamonds and sapphires, set on each side of the center diamond. The gradation from white diamonds to light, medium and dark blue sapphires reminds them of Gideon's waterfall proposal. Only when viewed from the side is it obvious that those watery lines are the backs and tails of two cats.

Blossom & Wave pendant

Platinum, Diamonds, Pink & blue sapphires.

Todd and Hiroko had two marriage ceremonies - one in Hawaii and one in Japan.
For their 20th wedding anniversary Todd commissioned a piece for Hiroko to reflect both celebrations. I designed a reversible pendant with blue sapphire and diamond waves on one side and pink cherry blossoms on the other.

18k Rose Gold; Palladium; Pink & blue sapphires, Diamonds.

Inspired by one of Pablo Neruda's beautiful poems, this ring incorporates sapphire and diamond vines...

"Your caresses enfold me, like climbing
Vines on melancholy walls."

from the poem 'Love' by Pablo Neruda

950 Palladium, Round Roulette Cut 1.33ct sapphire, Small precision cut blue sapphires.

A ring from my new collection, the butterfly ring.

This ring was commissioned by Lori, who chose a deep-medium blue sapphire with lots of flash and sparkle for the centre stone and matching precision cut blue sapphires for the five butterflies.

Thank you so much Lori, it was a pleasure working with you on this project.

Two become One

18k white gold, emerald cut green sapphire, white sapphires.

Ben commissioned this wedding ring and engagement ring for his beautiful Australian fiancée Kendal.
The large green sapphire was mined in The Gemfields - a sapphire mining district in Queensland Australia.

The inscription on the inside of the ring is from Ephesians 5, which includes the words "two will become one". In this ring two rings become one, the wedding ring locks in place between the two bands of the green sapphire engagement ring.

Daisy ring

18k White Gold, Yellow Sapphires, Diamonds.

Billy commissioned these rings for Emily, whose favourite flower is the daisy. The diamond wedding ring locks in place underneath the pretty yellow sapphire and diamond daisy engagement ring...

"I proposed to Emily back on the 23rd and all went well! She absolutely loves the ring and can't stop looking at it. Everyone who sees it is impressed with how perfectly it matches her personality. It was great working with you!"
