Janet's emerald ring
Andy visited us at Petra Jewellery to meet Jo, one of our talented designers, with a special request in mind. He wanted to surprise his wife, Janet, with a custom-made ring that would compliment her existing jewellery, something beautiful for her right hand featuring a stunning emerald.
Luckily for Jo, this wasn’t the first time Janet had received a bespoke piece from us. Knowing her style and finger size gave Jo a great starting point, allowing her to suggest a few design ideas right away.

After viewing a selection of exquisite emeralds, Andy was drawn to a breathtaking princess-cut stone. With his choice made, the emerald was passed on to Behzad, our expert goldsmith. He set the gemstone in an 18ct yellow gold rubover setting, chosen not only for its beauty but also for the added security it offers.
After the ring was made we needed to set the stone and polish to finish the ring.
Once Behzad had crafted the ring and it was polished, the emerald was set to showcase its natural beauty. Andy was thrilled when he came to collect the finished piece, excited to surprise Janet after weeks of sneaking around behind her back for secret appointments to finalise the design.
