Below you will find some of the commissions we have worked on, from engagement rings, weddings rings and self presents!


Chloe’s Rings

This was one of our favourite commissions. We melted down two family heirloom gold rings from, one from the bride and one from the groom. Combining a 22ct gold and 18ct yellow gold ring enabled us to create a truly unique alloy of gold for Chloe and her partner.

Below are just a few of the stages of how we transformed treasured heirlooms into a pair of wedding bands to be treasured for years to come and imbued with sentiment and meaning.

tom’s opal necklace

We made this special pendant for Tom’s partner to celebrate the birth of the baby. This special one of a kind Opal from Lightening Ridge in Australia sits in a 18ct Green Gold bezel setting on an oxidised backing to highlight the fire and colour in this special stone.

The Australian Lightening Ridge Opal was sourced from Ancients17 an American opal cutter, for this commission. The black opal is set in 18ct green gold, which was hand alloyed in our studio and backed onto oxidised silver to allow the green and ocean blues to shine.

Chloe came to us with her grandmothers ring with a deep dark blue sapphire and a diamond ring. We made a bespoke ring based one one of our asymmetric designs set in 18ct yellow gold. We kept a contemporary look by using an inverted D shaped profile and a full rub over setting around the sapphire.

Miri's Ring 4.jpg

miri’s ring

Miri came to us with her engagement ring that she loved but it wasn’t to her taste. A truly sentimental sapphire central stone was to remain the central stone with the two diamonds either side. Miri also wanted to include some small sapphires from a dress ring she wore dressing up as a child.

We hand carved the ring in wax before having it cast in solid 18ct yellow gold, with each stone being hand set in their settings.

Hannah’s ring

Hannah came to us looking for a one of a kind engagement ring and we created this ring with her based on our signature pear asymmetric style. A rich earthy brown diamond is set in buttery 18ct yellow gold and placed on an inverted D profile band, keeping it contemporary but still comfortable.

nanacy’s ring

We worked with Nancy to remodel her Grandmothers ring into a modern Etruscan treasure using the Old Cut Diamonds and gold from two rings. We combined 18ct yellow gold some 22ct from an old wedding band to create a unique alloy just for Nancy. Tiny granules of gold are fused to the rings settings, framing the diamonds.

Tobias & Marta's Rings

Tobias first came to commission a bespoke engagement ring in 18ct yellow gold with an Australian Parti-Sapphire. When it came to their wedding bands they wanted to use Tobias’ inherited rings for Marta’s wedding band to compliment the engagement ring but retain some of the design from the inherited ring.

Jacqui came to us with her mothers antique Burmese Ruby and diamond ring which wasn’t to her taste, so we worked together to create a one of a kind ring. The oval ruby sits in a custom handmade 18ct yellow gold setting on a platinum D profile band which was cast using metal from another broken ring.

Marta's Earrings

We had the pleasure of making Marta’s engagement and wedding rings, as well as these one of a kind earrings for her wedding day. She wanted to incorporate a pair of heirloom emerald cut Brazilian Topaz stones for a dramatic pair of earrings to wear for years to come. A fan of our Speckle collection but wanting to have something more symmetrical and contemporary.

briony’s ring

This ring was a true collaboration between client, myself and fellow makers. Dave found a rock with a garnet crystal while hiking in Greenland, which he deiced to take home. Our friend Chris Massey cut and faceted the garnet crystal to create this unique stone and with a brief of creating a one of a kind ring with an ancient feel we created this special ring. A halo of grey diamonds frame the garnet and rich 18ct yellow gold lifts the red tones and the final mill grain edge provides a rustic aesthetic.

Steph’s ring

We created this one of a kind ring for Steph in 9ct white gold with a pear white and round pink Argyle diamond. The subtle pink diamond is from the Argyle mine in Western Australia which represents her daughter, while the classic pear represents the traditional engagement ring. A soft and comforting oval band in 9ct white gold makes this ring a wonderful band to wear.

anna’s Necklace

Anna had a pair of Victorian Diamond earrings that she didn’t wear and so we removed the stones in order to make a contemporary necklace. Using the largest diamond at 1.12 carats we created a bespoke shaped setting for the diamond from 18ct yellow gold with an opening to allow the chain to flow through seamlessly.
