Just want to take a moment to show off these 18ct gold wedding rings I was honoured to design and make for friends, who became Mr and Mrs last weekend 💞
•
What wasn’t expected was I’d be in hospital, due to pregnancy complications, when I should have been travelling to London to personally deliver the rings, at the start of July. (I’ll save the pregnancy stuff for another post).
•
So, Guy and Maya came to collect the rings from Northampton General hospital, and sat in the little ward garden where I spent weeks in the run up to baby Evie’s arrival.
•
At such an anxious time, seeing these guys - who became my first visitors - made my day, and their reactions to the rings were so heartwarming. (Scroll to see pics and - warning - a very huge belly in the last one 😉!)
•
Guy had previously commissioned me to design and make a bespoke engagement ring for Maya.
•
And so they said they couldn’t imagine getting their wedding bands from anyone else 🥰!
•
And so Maya’s band needed to be designed to fit neatly around the unique waved shape of her engagement ring.
•
While Guy wanted a classic style band, but with its own touch of identity, so we decided on a subtle hammered effect and matte/brushed texture.
•
I also hand-stamped their wedding date inside the bands, just like the engagement ring, which has the date they first met stamped inside.
•
Both are hallmarked at London Assay Office , which always includes my makers mark and is quality assurance of the 18 ct gold I say it is.
•
Thank you so much Guy and Maya for putting your faith in me!! And thank god you were able to get them in time for your big day, thank you for making the effort to come to the Shire and brighten what was quite a difficult time 😉💖!!
