✨💍 Preparing for Your First Engagement Ring Consultation.

It’s finally ready - all you need to know in advance of our first meeting - the questions to ask yourself, what to bring, what to expect. It’s written for anyone at the beginning of their engagement ring journey who’s feeling a bit overwhelmed by where to start.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After making several engagement rings, I noticed patterns in where people were struggling to know how to begin. If this world feels completely alien to you, it can make you hesitate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I wrote down the simple questions that you should consider in advance. The things that help me make the connection to your other half that bit faster. And perhaps the most overwhelming - how to navigate budgeting for such an investment piece.

For mothers, for grandmothers and for the women who shaped us. Happy Mother’s Day 💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I designed these rings as a pair — the goddess of love and the son who carries her arrows. A mother and her child, captured in gold.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wear my own set every day. The arrow holds the birthstones of my children. I catch sight of them at unexpected moments and feel, every time, that particular kind of love that becomes part of you permanently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Venus Ring: a celebration of feminine power. Choose your metal, your central stone, add birthstones or inscriptions — make it yours while keeping the story intact.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Shown here in platinum with a vibrant green tsavorite garnet and diamond accents, paired with a platinum Cupid’s Arrow.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jewellery has always been the most intimate form of inheritance. A mother’s ring becomes a daughter’s talisman. The pieces worth keeping are the ones that mean something.

Eek! My regalia design “The Lion and the Leopard” has won a Bronze Award at the Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council Awards 2026!! What an incredible evening and an honour to be recognised - Thank you !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This piece was designed for the Master of the Assay - the guardian of our currency’s integrity. Every element tells a story of British heritage, from the laurel and oak wreath to the Tudor Rose medallion guarded by the London Assay office’s leopard and Britain’s majestic lion.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I poured months of research into the history of British coinage, heraldic symbolism, and the Royal Mint’s ‘Trial of the Pyx’ ceremony into this design and I look forward to delving into the inspiration behind my design choices with you all over the coming days!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to everyone who’s followed this journey. Your encouragement means everything.

Tomorrow is February 16th, and after months of absorbing rising gold costs, I can no longer maintain 2025 pricing without compromising the quality and ethics you expect.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is your final day to: order any piece at current pricing and secure Cosmic Dust or Helios & Selene pieces which are being discontinued.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve given you fair warning - two weeks’ notice before this deadline. Not because I want to pressure you, but because you deserve honest information - quality costs what it costs. And I won’t compromise what makes these pieces treasures.
Orders placed today will be honoured at current prices no matter how long creation takes.

✨🤝Even the ancient civilisations understood that jewellery marks the moments that matter most. The binding of two lives into one story.

Two hands clasped with OMONOIA - unity - carved beneath; a 5th century Roman betrothal ring that’s nearly 1,600 years old ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even the ancient civilisations understood that jewellery marks the moments that matter most. Marriage. Commitment. The binding of two lives into one story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These gold and agate rings weren’t just beautiful - they were witnesses. Tangible proof of invisible bonds. Symbols that said “this love is real, it’s witnessed, it’s permanent.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I create engagement rings and wedding bands today, I’m continuing that same ancient tradition. Crafting symbols that will outlast us all. Modern heirlooms carrying forward a practice that’s endured for millennia.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why I’ll never compromise on materials or craftsmanship. These pieces deserve to last as long as the Roman ring in this image - passed down through generations, still speaking of love centuries from now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just two days remain to order at current 2025 pricing. After February 15th, prices increase across all collections. Any order placed before midnight on the 15th will be honoured at current prices - even for pieces completing later in the year.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Valentine’s Day, loves. May you find your Valentine - whether that’s another person, yourself, or the beauty you choose to surround yourself with 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your love story deserves symbols as enduring as OMONOIA.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag your Valentine below 💕
