Aquamarine sea glass and white gold engagement ring

One of my favourite rings I've made this spring season is this simple yet stunning pale aquamarine sea glass ring I made for a lovely couple living here in Devon. I used the customer's own sea glass which he sent to me, had found it on the beach where the two of them had spent one of their first romantic dates together.

I cut, shaped and set his lovely pale sea glass in 14ct recycled white gold. I think it made a truly one-off engagement ring with impeccable eco credentials. 

If you have a special piece of sea glass you'd like made into a unique piece of jewellery you can always contact me through my website where you can see other designs I have made, and find out ways to commission me to make a unique piece of jewellery for your own special occasion. 

I don't just make engagment rings, I've used customer's sea glass finds, for special necklaces and earrings for events like birthday, anniversaries, to celebrate bridesmaids, best friends and Mother's Day  - any excuse to spoil someone in your life who loves sea glass and the ocean! 🌊

Hand forged white and yellow gold diamond solitaire.

Beautiful 0.3ct recycled GIA certified diamond glinting in the autumn sun (when we had some last week!)

This simple solitaire with a lightly hammered finish has been a firm favourite with brides looking for an ethical, eco-conscious engagement ring this year.

A stunning stone, set in a closed, rubover recycled 14ct yellow gold bezel, on a recycled 14ct white gold hand forged shank.

It is available in a range of colour combos, like rose gold, all yellow gold, a mixture of white / yellow / rose and in 9, 14 or 18ct golds - all recycled, or if preferred, FAIRTRADE gold.

The diamond can be replaced with a coloured ethically sourced gemstone - details of the different gems I can source are on my website.

18ct white gold eco wedding rings for Valentines weekend

This set of personalised 6mm and 7mm 18ct recycled white gold wedding rings were commissioned at the very last minute by a lovely couple tying the knot in Cornwall just after this Valentines weekend. 

 I hand forged them from 100% white gold bullion refined and milled here in the UK.

options are available,but I'm afraid I just don't

 The finished rings.


 Despite the storms, the flood, 48 hour power cuts, and the Post Office's best efforts to stop them, these beauties arrived at their destination, with three hours to go before the wedding ceremony.  One relieved jeweller!  The happy couple were delighted, and I was absolutely thrilled to make these rings for them.

Chunky, lovely, sterling silver wedding bands

 

I had lots of fun persuading these 2 massive hammered 10mm x 3mm sterling silver bands
(forged from one piece of silver) to be round!  Hammering them helped!
Very, very pleased with the results, and they look gorgeous hanging on this branch
in the low winter sunshine.

 

I love the soft satin finish on them.
