Stories

Every now and then, a client walks through our doors with a story so heartfelt that it becomes part of the jewellery itself. This particular client had a vision - not just an idea, but a complete design she had dreamed up, sketched, and carried close to her heart. On a tiny notepad, she had drawn the ring set she envisioned: three rings, each with its own meaning, each to be created using her own sentimental treasures.

From the moment she shared her drawings with us, we knew this project was going to be something special. She had already fallen in love with the design - all she needed was someone to bring it to life. And when the day came for her to collect her pieces, the moment was pure magic. She opened the box, gasped softly, and whispered, “Oh my goodness… I love it. They are exactly what I pictured.” Those are the moments we live for.

But this story had a little plot twist.

She also had an existing ring - one that matched the style of her new design. She wondered aloud: “I wonder if the two outside rings could fit alongside both the old ring and the new one…” A challenge, absolutely. But a challenge we were excited to accept.

And we made it happen.

Not only did we create her new solitaire centre ring and the two outside bands, but we crafted them in a way that allowed both her old and new treasures to sit together in perfect harmony.

Jewellery isn't just metal and stones - it's memory, identity, and story. And creating this client's dream ring set was an honour we won’t soon forget.

Some requests stay with us - not because they're difficult, but because they're meaningful! And maybe just a little challenging…

One of our long-time clients, a truly gorgeous woman inside and out, set me a task that instantly sparked excitement. She always brings the most thoughtful, perfectly considered ideas… the kind that make me work just a little bit harder to bring her vision to life. And honestly? I love that!This time, the mission was to find something rare: a pair of vivid purple, perfectly matched, round sapphires.Simple to describe. Nearly impossible to find.

She had a simple but breathtaking design in mind - three stones, side by side, claw set in a band, all complementing each other, and the sapphires were the only missing piece to her puzzle.

Months passed - and I genuinely lost count of how many. I sifted through stone after stone, checked with suppliers across the country, and quietly refused to give up. Then one day… there they were. A supplier sent me a photo that made me stop breathing for a moment.Two vivid purple sapphires, identical in colour, shape, and magic.I sent the photo straight to my client - and her reaction said everything.Fast-forward to today, and her breathtaking new ring is complete. Two striking purple sapphires now sit proudly beside her dazzling centre diamond, all lovingly held in bright yellow gold. A sentimental blend of her cherished old pieces and the newly sourced stones she waited so patiently for.A story of persistence.A design full of meaning.And a piece as radiant as the woman who wears it. 💜💛✨

The Case of the Muddy Rings

Every now and then, a client walks through the door with a collection of jewellery that has clearly lived a very full life - and a few weeks ago, we had exactly that!

This client brought in a few of his beloved rings… but let's be honest… they looked like they'd been dug straight out of the garden. Dirt, grime, mystery debris - the kind of buildup that makes you wonder what adventures those rings have been on!

As he handed them over, he laughed and said:
“Just do the best you can - I know the black might not come off, but I'd like you to try.”
Challenge accepted. 💪

With a keen eye, a steady hand, and some of our specialised tools and cleaning methods, we got to work. Bit by bit, layer by layer, the dirt disappeared… and underneath? Beautiful metal that shone the way it did when he first bought them.

And in the end?
Let's just say the transformation was chef's kiss ✨

Those rings left the workshop looking fresh, clean, bright, and absolutely ready to be loved again.

Sometimes all a piece needs is a little TLC to feel brand new.
