A New Beginning
Having lost both her engagement ring and wedding band on a trip to Paris, my client and her husband decided to design an entirely new replacement ring to recognise and celebrate all of the marvellous milestones that had occurred during their many happy years of marriage.
With two wonderful grown up children and now proud grandparents to the next generation of the family, my client wanted to surround her absolutely dazzling marquise brilliant cut diamond centre stone with the birthstones of all her closest family members.

A New Beginning
There`s nothing quite like a dazzling, large, internally flawless marquise brilliant cut diamond to lift the spirits!
And this gorgeous gemstone was the centre stone selected by my client and her husband for a very special commission to replace her original engagement ring and wedding band, inexplicably lost on a recent trip to Europe.
Although the romantic offer from her husband to have her original rings remade proved the enduring love they have for each other, my client had been thinking....
Would an exact replica of her original rings ever really have the same sentimental meaning as those rings she had lovingly worn for so many years?
Like many marriages, the love between my client and her husband grew ever deeper as their life together gave them first a beautiful daughter, then a wonderful son.
The passage of time saw both children grow into accomplished young adults - with love blossoming again, as an amazing son-in-law joined the family.
And a few short years later, with the greatest joy, my client and her husband proudly welcomed two grandchildren into the world.
What if, my client wondered, an entirely new ring could be designed to recognise and celebrate all of those marvellous milestones that had occurred during her many happy years of marriage?
I hope you`ll join me over the next two weeks as I reveal the utterly unique and beautiful ring I had the honour to design and create for my client and her husband - a breathtaking ring that was destined to touch the hearts of every generation of my client`s wonderful family.
All I can say is.... prepare to be wowed!

Nightmare at 40,000 feet
Having always worn her engagement ring and wedding band - representing several decades of a loving marriage - my client wondered how her husband would take the news of the tragic and inexplicable loss of both rings during her recent trip to Paris.
She need not have worried.
"As long as we never lose our love for each other..." were the words her husband uttered when she tearfully told him the news.
A kind and practical man, her husband lovingly went on, "We can have the rings remade. They will be back on your finger in a very short time. I will put them there myself, just as I did so many years ago...".
Although my client didn`t realise it at the time, the heartbreak she now felt was destined to be transformed into a journey filled with love that would reach out to touch the hearts of her entire family.

Nightmare at 40,000 feet.
Following the inexplicable loss of her engagement ring and wedding band whilst in Europe, after an interminably long return flight home, wracked with worry, my client frantically called her hotel in Paris as she exited the plane and walked up the air bridge to the terminal.
The concierge at the Parisian hotel assured my client he would immediately check to see if the rings had been found in her room by housekeeping or had been handed in to lost property, perhaps having been left somewhere else within the hotel.
But even before my client could reach baggage reclaim, she received the distressing news from the hotel concierge that her jewellery had neither been found in her room nor was in the safe custody of hotel lost property.
Having no idea where or how she had lost her rings while in Paris, my client thanked the very distraught French concierge and, collecting her luggage from the baggage carousel, walked slowly out of the airport terminal to face the grim reality that her engagement ring and wedding band were lost forever.

Nightmare at 40,000 feet.
My client relaxed into the amply upholstered seat in the cabin of the wide bodied jet that was now taxiing across the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris.
It was to be a long journey back home - to another continent, another hemisphere - following a highly successful trip to Europe.
Now it was time to leave Paris and my client heard the jet engine power increase as she was gently pushed back further into the comfortable aircraft seat as the plane began accelerating along the runway.
As casual glance out of the window saw the Paris skyline fall away as the airliner gently banked and climbed to cruising altitude.
Safely airbourne, my client looked down as she reached to loosen her seatbelt but as she did so, she froze.
Catching a glimpse of her left hand, her ring finger looked starkly empty.
The engagement ring and wedding band she had fondly worn for so many years..... were gone.
