11 x 9mm Emerald Cut Aquamarine with step-down trapezoid diamonds and baguette diamonds set in platinum. We were particulary pleased with the setting around the trapezoid diamonds and the double claws on the aquamarine... more impoprtantly so was the owner!

One of the very best aquamarine engagement ring designs we have done in my humble opinion! Photographed for Rumour Jewellery Bespoke portfolio

A little careworn this one....back for a service, this ring was made about eight years ago.

1.30ct brilliant cut diamond with baguette barrels with little brilliants in the ends... a complicated ring that I needed to re-photograph as the original snap was when I was learning how to do this!

2.55ct emerald cut blue sapphire set in 18ct white gold. The step-down baguette diamonds are 0.16cts each.

Oval aquamarine with trefoil set shoulder diamonds set in platinum.

Starting with just an idea about colour, Rumour Jewellery developed the design from the bottom up to be totally original. This is the second version we have made of this design (very rare to make more than one).

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.
