Wedding Ring in the Wash…

KH came to us with his wedding ring in pieces - several pieces! His ring had accidentally gone with his clothes through a whole washing and he had to open up the machine to get all the pieces back.

Redesign – the Diamond Edition

Diamonds not in proportion to the centrepiece or the ring as a whole C came to us with a ring that she had recently made with a jeweller... Continue Reading →

Emerald Necklace – From Dressy to Classy

Anniversary Necklace

Case Study: Revamp

Anne had an Engagement ring and a Wedding ring from one of our favourite designers, Georg Jensen. For her recent anniversary, she received a ring with a larger Diamond, so she wanted to use the old engagement ring for something else.

Do we stay the same?

To wear matching clothes as young children is one thing, but not many of us match our siblings as we grow older.
