It Takes a Lot To Make Expensive Jewellery Look This Cheap

Whilst hunting for stones I found this stunning and unusually cut pink sapphire along with four emeralds in the shape too. The idea for this piece just came to me! Using the stones cut to play on the idea of what jewellery really is, a sparkling jewel! I loved making this piece, the humour of her, the colour combination. A ring that makes fun of herself! What's not to love? I dare you not to look at her and smile. Finished with tapered diamond baguette sparkles.

The Mother Opal

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.

The Lightning Ridge Opal

When times were tough Rachael’s Pop’s would go up to Lightning Ridge with his mate hoping to make some money. They would climb down into a disused opal mine looking for treasures. Her Nana didn’t like it, it is insanely dangerous to climb into a disused mine. Gives me shivers just to think about it. But, in the garage Pops had a bucket of the magical rocks that he found on these adventures. As a child Rachael would look through these rocks and listen to her Pop’s stories. 

Rachael gave me the honour of creating a ring with one of these very rare rough Australian opals to remember the character of her beloved Pops.

Sophie's Watermelon Tourmaline

Sophie asked me to make her a ring using this tourmaline stone she bought. I don't often work with client's stones but for this, I made an exception. Watermelon tourmaline is a naturally occurring colour change that happens when the crystal is growing and shades from pink to green. Hence the name. Paired with pale pink, dark green tourmaline and a deep ruby to highlight the different shades within the stone.

Charles selected this included tourmaline heart for the centre of his engagement ring. The flaws inside the stone give it texture and intrigue, and also, make me think of a delicious raspberry flavour boiled sweet. The three diamonds in the piece were taken from Charles' Mother's ring to keep the family significance of the piece and the other stones were selected by colour to bring out the flashes within that tasty heart. The large stone on the left hand side is a pigeon blood ruby, it was the hardest shade to choose and also, probably the most expensive stone in the piece, not that that matters at all.

To design Ronan's engagement ring he sent me a few photographs of his girlfriends ring collection and a list of her favourite colours. The centre stone is a square cushion cut tourmaline with a selection of clashing and complimentary stones growing up around her. I added one small diamond to the side as a tiny jewellery 'fuck you' to the traditional engagement ring.

How to design a wedding band for the biggest diamond ring I've ever made? Well, add another diamond. This time a half carat chocolate heart shape that sits nestled inside the claws. The shape of the stone echoes the shape of the shoulder stone in the engagement ring making the two rings work seamlessly together as one design.

The deep midnight blue sapphire teardrop was chosen by Darren for Amiee's engagement ring. He must've done well as this set the theme for all the rings. We made the wedding band to fit perfectly to the engagement ring switching the metal combinations and the stones from shoulder to centre to create the matching-not-matching set. The teardrop shapes mirror the engagement ring chosen by Darren and his wedding band also has a matching teardrop sapphire set into it. The perfect set.

So for her engagement ring we knew it had to be a showstopper. This deep dark garnet heart is surrounded by sparkling white diamonds and held in by seven solid white gold claws. Both delicate and strong at the same time.

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.

A family heirloom sat in a draw collecting dust, or a fabulous new pinky ring? The original needed a bit of repair work, we replaced the bezel around the centre stone a had the citrine re polished to sharpen those facets. I love the antique diamond rolled scrolls with her added claws sitting perfecting in between. Another one of Kat's collection.

Adding a depth of colour to the sparkling quartz, and, this piece can never have enough green. Keeping Grace's secret.

Grace and I went through her Grandad's coin collection to pick out our favourites to make this commemorative necklace for her. Inspired by an antique coin necklace where by coins would have been worn around the neck for safe keeping and removed to pay for things. This also plays on the very out of fashion style of 'wearing your wealth'. The bold over opulence, now considered  crass, 'lower class' and very out of fashion makes me love it even more. Because, more is more!

Solid silver claws hold the piece together with the arms twisting into antique, ornate ends subtly echoing wings either side. From the bottom of the piece hangs a single garnet teardrop for bloodshed. The back of this piece is as much work as the front. From the engraved back plate to the handmade bespoke pin mechanism. Every single element of this is in honour of the story it tells.

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.

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.

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.

Leesa's Daughter's Ashes

No parent should ever have to go through this. It was an honour to create a piece to help you carry your daughter with you Leesa. The vintage filigree locket was chosen for sentimental reasons and I safely contained her daughters ashes inside the compartment. Held tight in these solid gold claws forever. I have no words, and sometimes, that is what jewellery is for.

Cathy is an avid collector of my work and whilst at a show in New York she passed me her Art Deco family heirloom ring to work my magic on. Once I got her home I first carefully unset the centre stone to re-polish and bring her back to former glory. The rest of the design was worked around the original setting. I love the contrast of my organic textural claws around the bold blocking and stylised straight lines of the original antique. The symmetry of the piece is merely an illusion, every claw is unique.

Solid gold claws cross around Daniel's Grandfather's garnet signet. Made to perfectly slot underneath so the rings are worn together. The back of the shank is star set with diamonds and sapphires from another family heirloom.

My biggest diamond ring to date, with no competition. Brendan commissioned this showstopper for his love, Luca, to seal the deal. A huge, antique cushion cut, 2.85ct diamond is supported by a pair of the richest, shield cognac diamond shoulders. The perfectly imperfect centre with her interesting inclusions, bright white colour, contrasted with the precision cut shoulders.

Antique Opal and Garnet Twist

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.

Garnets are Red, Rubies are Pink

This huge, flawless, blood red garnet is framed perfectly by a halo of hot pink rubies. I love clashing colours! They work because the similarities make the differences even more jarring, they play with each other. The warm yellow gold halo is held in the cool asymmetric white claws. Not for the faint hearted.

This piece for me, is not a ring, but a miniature sculpture. A juicy apricot heart is held within five gold claws, but the real magic lies in the asymmetric teardrops that support the stone. Set into each handmade rose gold bezel and holding either a pigeon blood, Burmese ruby or a green tourmaline, is a teardrop. Playing with the angles that we view and appreciate jewellery from, the stories they tell, and the significance a shape can hold, this piece, for me, pushes the boundaries of what jewellery is.
