Stock to custom design

5th June 2019

Does your name start with M?

Most of the pieces I make are custom designs in some way or another. I do however have pieces made ready for purchase. Often those ready made pieces lead to the creation of a custom design.

I first created this Gothic font ring about 3 years ago and added it to the shop. Since then I have made several others using different initials, precious metals and gemstones in the halo.

Below are the details of this ring that sold recently after finding a home with Michelle.

  • DR935

  • 9ct rose gold

  • size O

  • treated Black Diamond halo

  • .22 carats total diamond weight

Scrolls and bigger scrolls

The above pendant was sold last week and features a 3.5mm square cut pink sapphire. The pendant is 2.4 cm in length.

  • DP938

  • Natural Ceylon Pink Sapphire

  • 3.5mm square cut

  • 9ct white gold

  • 2.4cm in length

The pendant design was spotted by one of my customers in the shop section and he used it to set a gemstone of his own. His gemstone however was round and a massive 11.3mm in diameter.

Below is a photo of the two pendants scaled to size next to each other showing what happens when you apply the same design to a vastly different gem size. Scale is everything.

If you are looking starting points for a piece of your own then the gallery and shop sections in the main menu of the website might give you some ideas. You can of course bring any photo to me to start the creation of your custom design.
