Front view of this very large engagement ring.

3.5ct oval Ceylon Sapphire with 2.50cts brilliant cut diamond cluster set in platinum and 18ct yellow gold.

The client for the ring bought the sapphire in Sri Lanka not being 100% sure that they were buying a real stone. It is!

"Oval and Pear" 0.42ct Oval Diamond with 0.40ct pear shaped diamond shoulders.

Traditional elegance in this simple 18ct gold engagement ring that although not the most exciting ring does suit many buyers. I have another view of this ring posted in June last year, but this one gives you a bit of a better idea about the design.

Peridot and Citrine Cocktail Ring

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.

Single step-down diamond ring

Art Deco style emerald cut diamond with step-down baguette diamonds engagement ring is set in platinum.

Central emerald cut diamond 0.84ct H colour, VS1 Clarity. Side baguette diamonds 0.12ct each.

A very standard ring for us to make... but popular for a reason... everyone likes these! This is on the smaller end of the scale of what we usually make... but it still works well.

Cushion Cut Ceylon Sapphire Engagement Ring

Cushion Cut Ceylon Sapphire Engagement Ring, originally uploaded by rmrayner.

One of the all time most popular styles we make at Rumour. Four claw set cushion cut sapphire with a pair of 0.50ct brilliant cut diamond side stones in matching settings. Set in platinum.

Similar to one of our other cushion cut sapphire designs, but, as ever, subtely different. This ring just came back for a tune-up and clean. My photography has got a lot better since we made it a few years ago so a good opportunity to re-take it.

More bling please!

"More bling please!" Said the client, about the ring I designed for her back in March. "Certainly Madam... this we can always arrange". So we took apart the old one and made this instead.

2.01ct E colour, VS1 emerald cut diamond.

Approximately 20 x 1 point brilliant cut diamonds pave set around the central stone. Four corners and centre of gallery diamond set with 8 x 0.10ct stones, and two x 0.20ct stones.

The ring shank is set with 5 pairs of graduated baguettes (1.34cts), a pair of trapezoids (0.41ct) and approximately 0.40ct 1 point brilliant cut diamonds set around in the shank.

Set in platinum. Photographed for rumouronline.com portfolio..... and the client's insurance company!
