A Lasting Piece

No jewellery is more personal and significant than when it is made especially for one person. Commissioning us to create your Engagement Ring is an exciting and memorable experience that results in a ring that is as authentic as it is individual. Our extensive portfolio covers many designs and styles, some extravagant and some understated. From classic Diamond settings to rings comprising a symphony of Emeralds or Rubies or Sapphires in ornate and contemporary arrangements. Our designer, Rose, does not follow a particular house-style and instead wants to create a design that truly expresses your personality whilst conveying emotion. All aspects of the design, making and finishing take place in our own workshop. From conception to crafting by hand at the bench, stone setting and completion. Your engagement ring will be the breathtaking culmination of your ideas and your intended’s personality Forged In Creativity.

The stages of an Engagement Ring commission are outlined below. Please contact us to arrange a complimentary Design Consultation with Rose, which can take place in our shop or online.

Personal Consultation

We see involving the customer at every stage as very important. This begins with the personal consultation. Rose wants to understand the personality of the wearer in order to conceptualise a piece that suits a lifestyle, while expressing a persona. We look at existing rings, discuss style factors, consider metal colours and think about how the engagement ring will fit with the wedding ring.

Bespoke Design

The design process is something we do together. Drawing on what we have learned through our consultation, Rose will sketch out the personal design, adding flare, character and colour. The complete ring, as well as aspects and different views, will be considered visually. This is an exciting time when we first see the piece on the page.

Stone Selection

The selection, shape, position and presentation of the stones is significant. Factors to consider include: the size of the Diamond; clarity; colour; weight; and the cut. Of course, not all Engagement Rings feature Diamonds, we have a wide selection of Emeralds, Rubies and Sapphires as well as many interesting and unique gemstones. Seeing the precious stones is important as, coupled with the design sketch, this assists in visualising how the ring will look and feel.

Traditional Handmaking

Rose will share the design vision with our Master Goldsmith, and her husband, André. This unique relationship between designer and Goldsmith ensures absolute creative and emotional continuity. Traditional making at the bench, together with the use of the highest quality materials, leads to an Engagement Ring rich in material and historical value. We offer customers the opportunity to view the ring during the making process to see how the story is unfolding. We appreciate that this is an organic process and we can accommodate changes at all stages.

Presentation Of Your Piece

The final chapter is the presentation. We find this to be a most special moment and very rewarding experience. Our customers leave us with an Engagement Ring that is like no other and to which their personal connection could not be more significant.
