Mark`s Spreadsheet Anniversary Ring
Having received Mark`s Excel spreadsheet ring design and gemstone ideas, the first thing I wanted to do was to recreate Mark`s original design in my CAD software. (Sorry Mark, I didn`t use Excel!)
Mark had done a fantastic job researching the different types of garnet that he wanted alternating with white diamonds in Helen`s ring.
With these as my guide, I suggested baguette cut gems with a pattern using Diamonds, Mozambique Garnets, Brazilian Garnets, Tsavorite (Green Garnet) and Spessartine (Mandarin Garnet).
With the design agreed, it was time to get busy in the studio....

Mark`s Spreadsheet Anniversary Ring
We deal with quite a lot of Excel spreadsheets in the studio - everything from financial reports to fine diamond pricing from our gem dealers. All of it delivered to us on Excel spreadsheets.
But I`d never received a spreadsheet that looked quite like this before - especially not from one of my clients!
Mark and Helen have been friends and clients for many years and I have had the pleasure of creating lots of beautiful pieces for them.
And when Mark wanted to surprise Helen with an eternity band for their 20th wedding anniversary - he knew exactly what he wanted from the start.
A practical man, Mark turned to his trusty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software to create an initial "sketch" of his eternity band design.
Twenty stones (one for each year of their marriage) alternating between diamonds and differently coloured garnets (Mark had given Helen a garnet necklace on their wedding day).
As you can see, Mark had even researched different types of coloured garnet to be incorporated into the ring.
Mark`s request was simple - he had the design worked out - would I be able to make Helen`s ring in time for their 20th wedding anniversary celebrations?
My answer: YES, ABSOLUTELY!

The ancient Greeks believed diamonds were fragments of falling stars - and, if it`s your birthday this month, we certainly hope you`ll sparkle appropriately!
Happy birthday to all our diamond girls!

My doctor told me I needed more fruit in my diet. So I immediately went out and bought some pears.
Tourmalinated quartz and smoky quartz pears to be precise...
What...? 🤣🤣🤣

Thrilled to receive this wonderful message from Sue shortly after she collected her new ring.
Although this gorgeous ring has gone to a wonderful home, I do miss this show-stopper being around in the studio....
All in all, a wonderful commission for a wonderful client!

Couldn`t resist sharing these pro shots of Sue`s new ring.
Always nervous to show the client the completed commission - but know that Sue will love it!

Yes, I`d created the CAD design with Sue, my client, a while ago - but nothing quite prepares you for seeing the finished gem set piece sitting your bench after you`ve finished working on it!
If it`s possible to smile and have your jaw drop all at the same time - it just did.
Loving working on this private commission - which now just needs a final polish and Hallmarking prior to completion!

My favourite kind of gemmological jigsaw.
Making sure the fit of each of Sue`s gorgeous gemstones is perfect prior to setting.

Five stacker rings?
Not quite!

The goldsmithing for Sue`s impressive new multi-stone ring is complete.
Really excited to start work on the gem setting.

Re-imagining a much loved costume jewellery ring.
Sue loved the colour palette of her costume jewellery ring and wanted something similar for her new fine jewellery commission.
She also liked the illusion of having multiple stacker rings on her finger - although the ring was a "one piece".
What Sue didn`t like was the prong setting of her original faux ring - and asked if the gemstones in her new ring could be bezel set.
Here`s the stunning new ring design Sue and I created together in the studio.
This ring was certainly going to be a show-stopper and I was really excited to start working on it at the bench.
