The diamond tennis bracelet.

We have made few of these bespoke diamond tennis bracelet. They remain perenially popular. This example has 61 brilliant cut VS, G coloured diamonds claw set in 18ct white gold. 0.05cts per stone and 3cts in total.

This elegant piece of jewellery is reputed to be named after an incident in 1987 when tennis star Chris Evert lost her diamond line bracelet during the U.S. Open. The game was halted as she searched the court for the missing bracelet. Rumour's tennis bracelets have safety clasps!

Asscher cut diamond engagement ring 2008

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


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!

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.
