Imagine a peaceful pond at sunset, reflecting the pink of the sky with some floating flowers reflecting the golden hour glow. This is what I see when I look at this ring. Cast solid 9ct yellow gold and then hand set with natural pink sapphires. I mark out and drill where the gems are to go. Then I burr out holes for the sapphires to sit in. I rub the gold over the edge of the gems to hold them in place. Then I engrave the details in. This is where the magic happens, the details are what makes this ring come to life and adds some refined style to the ring. I use a handheld, hand push graver, which requires years to master. It’s very easy to slip off the metal and either break the stone, or put a gouge in the metal. And once the metal is taken away, it can’t be put back. If you follow me on instagram, there are some videos there showing the transformation. This ring is size O, but I’m happy to make another one in any size, and also with different gems, feel welcome to enquire.
