A huge faceted Ethiopian opal centre with a pair of the finest 'pigeon blood' shoulders to keep her company. Pigeon blood is the deepest and most sought after pink red shade of ruby, and, of course, has the best name. Diamond set antique filigree ornates the side of the ring.

Something about the combination of a rose gold sapphire halo takes this piece back to a bygone era. Maybe its the cabochon opal, or the white gold filigree, but to me this ring is dying to be Victorian. The cabochon cut of the stone inside the halo frame makes the large ring sit flush to the finger so she's a striking showstopper, but also streamline and practical for everyday wear. It's these thoughtful touches that make designing so personal.

This piece was very hard to give back. A remake of her original opal and diamond Victorian engagement ring. The ring needed taking apart for few repairs before it could be reassembled into her new clawed home. Once I added the filigree backplate to her I noticed the prison of light I had created inside the ring. It bounces off the rose gold and back up through the opal and diamonds making the ring glow orange. Its pretty magical.

Solid white gold claws hold onto an antique yellow gold, heart shaped, locket coffin containing the ashes of Imogen's son, Otis Wolf and her Grandmother, Dee. Two hearts are set into the front, one diamond and one opal, for each of her beloved resting inside. Their names are hand engraved into the back of the piece.

Brad sent me a sentimental antique ring to remake to propose to Charlene. I kept the integrity of the original setting and created these twisted bespoke white and yellow gold claws to encase the basket of stones inside. The balance of delicacy and strength, old and new, she's more complicated that she looks this one.

This ring combines all of my favourite features of stones. The opal has a smooth cabochon domed top to reveal the natural textural intrigue of the opal. Her iridescent violet glow with the natural rock texture visible inside which the crystal grew on. In contrast the diamonds surrounding her are the perfect example of precision cut flawless sparkling perfection. Together they have everything, congratulations Sarah she's a beauty.Â

Sue inherited her Mother's opal ring. It was a family heirloom that had travelled the world on her Mother's finger for many an adventure, but it needed a revamp to make it truly Sue's ring. After long deliberations I created this clawed casing to hold the piece complete with its original filigree setting and encrusted with I don't know how many other stones. One of the most challenging, and most rewarding pieces I've ever made. She's a showstopper.Â
