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.
