Art Deco La Gon Ring

We spent one year and five months recreating this ring. The difficult path of study was full of tears [facepalmR]. From being the first in the entire internet to make it, to being the last to release it... thankfully, the result is gratifying. The subtle brilliance of this ring lies in its structure being fixed by two thin slices of agate. But agate lacks sufficient strength and breaks with the slightest touch. To understand this structure, we repeatedly tried, drilled...

Always on the move, a jewellery-world worker brooch

This is the first 'bird' ring we recreated, but it is not the first one that shipped - simply because it was the busiest ring we have ever made, and who would have thought a ring could carry four add-ons? With gold prices continuing to rise, 'multi-use jewellery' has become a more cost-effective choice. Yet most multi-use jewellery inevitably has some...

Architectural Tourmaline Ring

The first time I saw this ring, it felt as though I had touched the sharp edge of a high priest’s sacred crown. The mount supports a large rubellite ring in an extremely minimal way, like the crisp grandeur of a high priest’s hat brim. The lines reject clutter and are as concise as a divine decree. The craftsman polished the 18k gold surface as though brushing a sacred vessel, so that every inch of metal gives off a satin-like...

Summer Dopamine Ring

Two hearts, each holding a different light. One is a deep, shadowed green, like a quiet forest; the other a warm golden yellow, like the afterglow of sunset. Within the union of 18k gold, they tell a singular romance. Every lift of the hand is a meeting of heart and heart.

Summer ramune ring

Two beautiful tourmalines become a finger ring. The interplay of pale green and blue-green, and the contrast between rose-cut and brilliant-cut diamonds, bring a breath of coolness to the height of summer, like a bottle of sparkling soda.

Green tourmaline ring

A redesigned ring, also a piece we made previously for a repeat order. It is likewise a high-jewellery design. The dramatic presence of the triangular 50-point diamond is undeniable, and the elongated lines also cleverly flatter the hand.

Jewellery knowledge · Paraíba

A non-cooperative model and a beautifully stunning lab-grown Paraíba

A piece of jewellery whose luxurious presence is breathtaking from the first glance, with an electric blue that ripples deep into the heart. How do you describe the texture of Paraíba’s ocean, the ebb and flow of the tide carrying the scent of sunlight on the breeze? Life is the sea - deeper and more expansive than any dream, yet still in need of the quiet brought from afar. Just as copper gives the colour...

Court tourmaline ring

At the tail end of the Year of the Dragon, sharing a ring that belongs to Arya. The clarity of the Afghan tourmaline is like the innocent younger princess in Winterfell at the beginning. The thorn-like claws are the journey by which Arya transforms into a wolf. Arya showed me the most complete growth of a girl. She never self-pities in the face of setbacks, and with solitude and resolve becomes that lone wolf. Revenge is...
