A new version of an old favourite. This version is more square compared to the previous ring's bevelled edges.
The bespoke Asscher cut diamond engagement ring remains one of our most popular designs... and most expensive, so we don't make them very often!
2.01ct Asscher cut G VS2, excellent cut, excellent polish.

"Empire" Art Deco Sapphire engagement ring
Ring design "Empire". Art Deco for the 21st century.
A real challenge this one... all the stones needed to be specially cut to be the right shape. 1.85ct sapphire and 0.60cts diamond ring set in 18ct white gold
This ring was designed to match the glamour of the Art Deco era that it was inspired by, but with state-of-the-art computer aided design to make sure the stones were cut exactly. The renders from the new software are so good that you might be forgiven for being fooling inot believing them the real thing!

Simple Solitare diamond
Another easy one.... I took the stone out of something horrible and made a new simple ring for it to sit in... looks much better now as the stone is able to really shine.
E colour VVs1 0.98ct brilliant cut diamond set in 18ct white gold
A simple ring designed to be totally subtle.

Aquamarine and diamond ring
G colour S1 0.50ct brilliant cut diamond with two aquamarines set in platinum. Made for a secret engagement for a client I have not actually met... just done entirely on email.
Our use of the scalloped rub-over settings for the side stones works very well to create a smoother look to the overall design.
Green sapphire and diamond ring
E colour VVs1 0.50ct brilliant cut diamond with two green sapphires set in platinum, our use of the scalloped rub-over settings for the side stones works very well to create a smoother look to the overall design.
A simple ring with unusual side stones makes this design a truly unique ring. This design seems to be getting rather popular... see the next post!

18ct yellow gold 'Compass' ring with Peridot and Aquamarine
Rumour cocktail collection Compass ring photographed originally for our brochure and website rumouronline.com. Note the secret diamond inside the ring shank... one of our nice little features.
I had to create a white background for this image for the Daily Mail as they ended up featuring it in the magazine last weekend.... tricky when I had originally photographed it on black.. I rather liked the effect of keeping the reflection and might use the technique a bit more.

Aquamarine coloured wooden necklace
Aquamarine coloured wood necklace (19" long) that we played around with for our website rumouronline.com and then discontinued. I photographed this in 2006. Rather annoyingly I see them now in the "Must have one" sections in various glossy magazines!

Pink sapphire vine ring with original design drawing
This wouldn't be my choice of ring... but we can and do make anything the client wants! In this case a heart shaped pink sapphire set in a vine like, organic lattice of platinum and diamond flowers. The main thing was to make it look as the client wanted it and this meant drawing a detailed design first!

Remember... this year the Girls can propose to the BOYS!
29th February is the traditional time that women can propose to their men. Even in these enlightened days it is still quite rare for a woman to propose marriage. When the rules of courtship were stricter, women were only allowed to pop the question on the 29th February / leap years.

Escher
Named after the surreal mathematical artist who created three dimensional illusions in print.
1.04ct princess cut diamond set on the horizontal axis with matching double pairs of 2.50mm princess cuts. Set in platinum.
A very tricky design to get right as it might have come out looking really bad. The whole setting has to curve to fit the finger nicely and the supposedly sharp corners need to be smooth and flowing in reality. Photographed for rumouronline.com.

Alexandrite pendant
Alexandrite is an ultra rare and expensive stone, but I was presented with only one trilliant cut stone so was at a loss what to design it into... a pendant or brooch seemed the only likely choices. Photographed for our website and portfolio.
Named after The Czar Alexander II. Chromium makes it appear as two colours. Natural or fluorescent light makes it green & tungsten makes it red.

Edwardian style sapphire and diamond ring
Edwardian style diamond and sapphire flower ring. 1.30cts old brilliant cut diamond central stone with half-moon sapphires, brilliant cut diamonds and millgrained platinum setting. I photographed this for our brochure and website rumouronline.com.
We recreated this ring from an old design... so although it looks old... it is in fact all new save for the old cut diamond in the centre.
Old cuts diamonds like this one are the precursors to the modern brilliant cuts we are all familiar with. They have less facets than the modern cut and (due to age) tend to look a little off-white!
Brilliant cut with double emeralds
This was a tricky one... never done this design before and the client and I spent many hours musing about all the different shapes etc before settling on this design.
Old heirloom brilliant cut diamond given a new lease of life with unique design double step-down baguette cut emerald shoulders. Photographed for rumouronline.com and portfolio.
