Working with precious metals is like creating a masterpiece, and every little part adds
up to a much greater whole.
When I set out to create a handmade silver and gold textured ring, I make sure every element is perfectly balanced to best show off its most attractive features. Each of my handmade silver and gold textured rings are made to order, a bespoke ring designed just for you, and set with a brilliant gemstone chosen to perfectly complement the rest of the design.
I meticulously hand texture the shank of each ring so that they are all unique jewellery with no two pieces the same, adding layers of silver and gold to create a contrast that leads to a truly striking design. Once the setting has been created, it’s time to choose your stone to be held in place with a delicate and hand made tension setting that lets as much light into the stone as possible to show it off to best effect.
Choose from Lime green Peridot, Royal purple Amethyst, Swiss Blue Topaz ( light
blue), London Blue Topaz (petrol blue), African Garnet (red wine) and Pink Tourmaline (Cerise), as well as many others, to create something that is uniquely yours.
All our jewellery is locally hand made and makes the perfect gift for a Christmas, Birthday or Anniversary – or even something a little special just for you.

Tension setting is a method of holding a gemstone in a ring so that it appears suspended in mid-air. Despite it appearing to be precariously held, there are two factors that ensure that the stone is securely fixed in place.
One being the thickness of the precious metal is vital in ensuring that there is enough tensile strength so as to allow the jewel to not be affected during everyday wear.
Secondly, a small concave groove is accurately cut by hand to match the shape of the edge of each stone, so that when the pressure of the setting is applied, it sits perfectly within.
I can also make these rings in smaller or larger sizes other than those listed.
