These 18 carat white gold hoop earrings are set with brilliant-cut diamonds and finished with detachable briolette-cut blue topaz drops.

Elegant yet versatile, the detachable design allows the earrings to be worn in different ways - understated hoops for everyday wear, or with the blue topaz drops for something more striking.

Also available in yellow gold and, on request, with green or purple amethyst briolettes.

In honour of May’s birthstone, emerald, here’s a bespoke recreation we recently designed using stones from a collection of sentimental eternity rings.

The emeralds were carefully removed from the original full eternity rings, each one slightly different in size and softened over time through wear. Our client wanted to preserve the original pieces while transforming them into something entirely new - a bespoke emerald cross necklace.

To create a perfectly balanced final piece, we carefully selected the closest matching emeralds by colour before having them recut so every stone matched in size and proportion. From there, the design was developed in CAD, approved as a render, then brought to life through a 3D print, casting and hand-finishing process before each emerald was individually set by hand.

A beautiful way of giving heirloom jewellery a new chapter.

Black opals are among the rarest and most sought-after of all gemstones. The finest examples are found almost exclusively at the Lightning Ridge deposit in Australia, prized for their depth of colour and distinctive play of light.

We are only occasionally asked to source stones of this quality. These opals were carefully selected and framed in delicate diamond set platinum settings, allowing their natural character to remain the focus.

We had the pleasure of repurposing three inherited pieces, two antique old cut diamond brooches and ring.

These were redesigned into a contemporary platinum ring and pendant, with the remaining stones used to create two pairs of diamond stud earrings for the client’s daughters.

Which is your favourite redesign?

With over 70 years of combined experience, guiding clients through each stage of the process is something we take particular pride in.

If you’re considering a bespoke piece, do get in touch, we’d be very happy to discuss.

The military has a long tradition of commissioning bespoke silverware to mark significant moments in service. This Lynx Wildcat helicopter was created as a bespoke silver commission for the Army Air Corps.

Each commission is different, but the principle remains the same, a small run, highly specialised process carried out with patience, skill and close collaboration with the client.

Our client came to us after their original engagement ring had been stolen. Rather than recreate it exactly, we worked together to design a new ring that honoured the original inspiration while introducing a new character.

The centre stone, a 3.43 carat aquamarine was carefully selected and set in yellow gold. Surrounding it, sapphires provide depth of colour, with an outer border of diamonds bringing light and balance to the design, all mounted in platinum and channel set.
