With this beautiful dress ring, no matter where my client happens to be in the world, she will always carry the South African night skies with her - in her soul and, now, on her finger.

Setting complete.
Showing the round brilliant cut diamonds set on the shoulders of the "Milky Way" 18k white gold dress ring - a "night sky" array on the band of black diamonds, gray salt and pepper diamonds and dazzling white diamonds.

Having given the white gold an initial pre-polish it`s time to get the piece ready for setting!

Here is the completed goldsmithing for my client`s very impressive dress ring.
This incredibly angular, geometric white gold design will harmonise with the hard, straight lines of the octagon cut strawberry quartz - yet strongly juxtapose with the soft, almost fluid, lines of the "galactic" rutillations inside the stunning centre stone (shown in yesterday`s post).

Capturing the Milky Way
My London client stood staring up at the sky in the darkness of a balmy South African night.
On her regular visits to the southern hemisphere, she loves nothing more than to gaze in awe at the countless stars scattered through the black diamond sky - experiencing the infinity and majesty of the heavens.
.
Spilling across this skyscape is the unmistakable Milky Way - a slew of thousands of stars creating a brilliant trail across the darkened firmament.
The rutilated pattern in this stunning octagon cut strawberry quartz so closely resembles the starscape of the Milky Way that my client couldn`t resist asking me to create a dazzling dress ring that, quite literally, captures the splendour of the South African night sky.
With such an amazing centre stone to work with, this was going to be a truly spectacular commission.

As we approach the most romantic day of the year, I thought it might be fun to showcase a selection of just a few of the many bespoke engagement rings and wedding bands I have had the pleasure of making for friends and clients over the years.
Following on from yesterday`s post showing the gorgeous sapphire and diamond engagement ring Deon designed for fiancée-to-be, Tammy - here`s the beautiful diamond and white gold matching wedding band I created to sit alongside Tammy`s stunning engagement ring.
Following a wonderful wedding, I was delighted to receive the message featured at the end of this video from Deon and Tammy, telling me all about their special day!

Today, the stunning sapphire and diamond engagement ring Deon designed for fiancée-to-be, Tammy..
With graceful flowing lines of white gold, this sapphire and diamond trilogy engagement ring provided the perfect proposal.....
And, of course, Tammy said, "Yes!"

As we approach the most romantic day of the year, I thought it might be fun showcase a selection of just a few of the many bespoke engagement rings and wedding bands I have had the pleasure of making for friends and clients over the years.
Today, an engagement ring redesign.
The engagement ring my client had received from her fiance (not made by me) was beautiful - but the stunning diamond trilogy was set too low to allow a wedding band to fit under under the mount to allow her wedding band to sit flush to her ring.
Would.it be possible, my client wondered, to redesign this stunning engagement ring and lift the trilogy of diamonds a little higher from the band to allow her wedding band to be worn alongside it?
Here`s how I achieved this - to create a beautiful redesigned diamond trilogy engagement ring that also allowed my clients beautiful diamonds to dazzle even more!

In the run-up to "V-Day", it would have been easy to showcase show-stopper after show-stopper engagement rings - dazzling diamond halos, trilogies or solitaires.
But I also wanted to feature some other gemstone "rock stars" that have featured in some very special engagement rings I`ve had the pleasure and honour to create for some truly wonderful couples.
Here is a classic round cut aquamarine solitaire, set on a beautiful twisted white gold band.
I absolutely adore the pared-down purity and simplicity of this very feminine band - expressing Jon`s eternal love for Nic.
It was wonderful to work alongside fiance-to-be, Jon and, between us, design Nic`s perfect (and very pretty) aquamarine ring!
Needless to say, in response to Jon`s very romantic proposal, the answer from Nic was "Yes"!!
I always love it when a commission ends with, "happy ever after...."

Here is the stunning bezel set half eternity band to accompany the .princess cut engagement ring shown last Friday.
I love diamond set wedding bands, whether eternity style bezel set, channel set or claw set - as they add even more sparkle to my client`s ring finger!

Here is an absolutely gorgeous solitaire engagement ring featuring a stunning princess cut centre stone.
Solitaire engagement rings have always been, and continue to be, the foremost choice for the truly classic proposal.

It`s always so much fun when existing clients return to the studio - particularly when a romantic engagement turns to plans for a wonderful wedding!
Alex`s very romantic and utterly unique proposal to Sophie was (quite literally!) set in stone and If you aren`t familiar with their story, it`s well worth looking at my post last Tuesday to read all about it.
I was thrilled and honoured to receive Sophie and Alex`s request to make their wedding bands and knew that whatever design ideas we created together , their bands were definitely going to be stunning!
Here`s the story of Alex `s very impressive mokume gane wedding band. I do hope you enjoy it!
