Colombian Emerald and Diamond Ring in two tone 18ct White GoldThis striking engagement ring was designed around the client's own Colombian Emerald. I wanted this piece to be beautiful from every angle. I believe each ring is a tiny sculpture that adds a little beauty to the wearer's life every day.
This stunning dress ring was made as a 10th anniversary gift. The design was inspired by Art Deco jewellery but with a modern interpretation. The central stones are Australian Champagne diamonds and the surrounding 0.01ct diamonds add up to over half a carat.

This striking ring was commissioned as a celebration ring for a beautiful mother of four. The brief was to design a ring that combined a modern aesthetic with the Art Deco style.

My client had been given a piece of New Zealand Greenstone by his grandfather as a child. I had a piece of this family heirloom inlaid into the bands and then highlighted by brilliant cut White Sapphires. The two rings reflect and complement each other in design but are different for each partner. Just like a good relationship!
Ceylon Blue Sapphire and Diamond Ring in 18ct White Gold.
These clients had several very clear design ideas they wanted incorporated into their engagement ring. The Ceylon Sapphire reflected his Sri Lankan heritage and the intertwined band represented their future life as a couple together. This unique engagement ring can be flanked by pave' diamond split wedding bands or worn as a combined engagement and wedding band.

The deep purple ruby red of the natural Rhodolite Garnet is framed by the rich tones of the 18ct Yellow Gold. The tiny brilliant cut diamonds lift this ring from a dress ring into a luxe engagement ring.

I designed a very simple setting to keep this unique stone the focus in this ring. Tourmalines come in many shades and this beautiful specimen fades from sea green to candy pink.

These delicate bands were designed to be worn with the Green Sapphire and Diamond engagement ring. The two rings worn either side of the engagement ring make the perfect frame for the central Sapphire.

Carre' Cut Diamonds are an unusual and rare cut that have a subtle, sophisticated sparkle. The total carat weight of Diamonds = 1.10ct. This ring was designed as both an engagement and wedding ring. This design works beautifully with coloured stones as well.
