From Inherited Gold to a Bespoke Toi et Moi Ring
With inherited gold and a clear vision for something new, this bespoke Toi et Moi ring was designed to bring together two contrasting yet complementary gemstones – a diamond and a sapphire.
We started by sketching out the design before sourcing a selection of stones to choose from.
The final pairing our customer landed on was a beautiful pear-cut sapphire alongside a cushion-cut diamond, bringing together two distinctive shapes and colours to create a truly individual piece.
With the design and stones agreed, everything was sent upstairs to our in-house goldsmith, Behzad, who got to work handcrafting the ring using our customers inherited gold.
Every part of the ring was carefully made by hand.
Behzad began by melting down the gold, and creating the individual settings, shaping each seat to hold its gemstone securely and ensuring the two stones would sit perfectly together.
Once both settings were ready, it was time to carefully attach them to the band, bringing the two sides of the design together.
The ring was then sent to our expert setters, who carefully set the diamond and sapphire into their new home.
And the finished result? Absolutely breathtaking!
The combination of the pear-cut sapphire and cushion-cut diamond works beautifully, with their contrasting shapes creating a distinctive and balanced design.
It's a lovely example of how inherited gold can be transformed into something completely new, while incorporating carefully chosen gemstones to create a piece that feels entirely personal to its wearer.
She was absolutely delighted with the finished piece!
