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.

This is one of mine.... ie it belongs to my wife and is designed entirely by me! This unique to Rumour eternity ring has three clusters of four princess cut diamonds with diamond baguettes between them. A powerful and dazzling eternity ring using 16 diamonds weighing approximately 1.90cts.

I have photographed this ring before, but I thought I would have another go on a white background this time.
