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.Â

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

Every stone in this piece is a sapphire. From the deepest inky blue of the love heart shoulders, to the sparkling waters of the oval centre. The bespoke internal structure is the hidden support that makes this piece possible, with the claws coming in to finish her off. The final touch of teardrop sapphires set in yellow gold on each side just warm her slightly. Thank you for your trust and your patience Danny, she is so worth it.Â

Moonstone is much more commonly seen in its cloudy white opaque form which makes this crystal clear beauty even more rare. She has that trademark moonstone directional flash of violet. I chose lilac sapphires to frame her to highlight the colour hiding in her ghostly hue.

MoonstoneMade to fit around a rather stunning diamond engagement ring, this diamond sweetheart wedding band completes the set. Diamonds are set around the whole back of the shank, because, why not? More is more after all. This piece was a surprise for Emily, from her now husband Ross, on her wedding day, she hadn't seen it until then.

One of the most challenging pieces I've ever made, and also one of the ones I am most proud of. The secret of this incredible green tourmaline heart is the diamond and sapphire teardrops that hold her up. The points of the teardrops hold onto the stone acting like even more claws around her. Many of my pieces work as metaphors and this one is no different.

My good friend Smell told me he was going to pop the question to Cara and the stone hunt was on. This rare deep teal green sapphire heart was in my personal collection and he fell in love with it. Set into a full diamond heart halo and inside solid 18ct yellow gold claws. Cara said yes of course!

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.

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.
