New Highwire Engagement Ring

A 4ct Aquamarine with a total of 1.15cts trapezoid and tapered baguette diamonds set in 18ct white gold.  This is a new version of a design we first created in 2008.   This version is slightly smaller than the original ring's 8.2ct central stone!

Blast from the Past

Once in a while I catch up with one of our designs that was never photographed.  This is a Vietnamese Pot-Bellied Pig Brooch I designed about 8 years ago!  18ct white gold with Onyx and a diamond eye.

I just happened to bump into the owner who was wearing it on her jacket at (appropriately enough) The Devon County Show.

Purple sapphire engagement ring

If at first you don't succeed... make it again! This ring was just re-made as the client wasn't happy with the original design (he unfortunately did not look at the original design specs.... so this had to be altered quite a bit)

Purple sapphire and aquamarine engagement ring: 1.96ct Emerald cut purple sapphire in a rub-over setting and six 3 x 2mm channel set baguette aquamarine shoulders. Set in 18ct white gold.

This is the original which we had to remake: http://rumouronline.blogspot.com/2010/02/purple-sapphire-custom-engagement-ring.html You will notice that the central stone was higher on this version (as it was in the very first version we made in 2005)

Peridot and Citrine Cocktail Ring

Peridot and Citrine Cocktail Ring, originally uploaded by rmrayner.

Another variation on our perennial Cocktail Collection rings...the one where you decide what the mix of colours in your cocktail is going to be.

Oval Citrine and two peridots claw set in 18ct white gold. Initially the ring was set with a Madera Citrine (much darker) but we didn't really like it as the colours were all combined to be a little muddy... so we swapped it for a golden citrine which goes much better with the uprated peridots.

Tanzanite & Diamond Engagement Ring

"Empire" Art Deco Sapphire engagement ring

Art Deco Sapphire, originally uploaded by rmrayner.

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!
