Rik and Kim's wedding rings
Rik and Kim came to see Jo one of the designers as they were looking for wedding rings.
They came in for a design appointment and talked through what they were looking for. Kim wanted a wedding ring to complement her engagement ring which we originally made for her and Rik wanted a wedding ring with a diamond.
We designed their rings incorporating gold they already had.
Once the design for the rings were finalised and the stones were chosen, it was time to make their rings.
We invited them to have a Workshop Experience where they could be part of the process of making their rings.
To make Rik’s ring it needed to be cast and so Kim had a wax that she filed and formed to the shape of the ring that they wanted.
This would be the mould to make the ring.
Once this was finished and they were happy it was time to melt some gold.
Behzad the goldsmith gave a demonstration, then torch was handed to Rick for him to melt the gold this was poured into the mould that they had made.
We didn’t want Kim to be left out either so they melted the white gold to make Kim’s ring too.
Both rings still needed to be finished, engraved and to have stones added. This is when they were handed back so we could work our magic.
Once the rings were made, Kim came with her mum to collect them in time for the weddings.

Or, if you still need a bit more inspiration, you can see this ring and many other gorgeous designs in our bespoke collection here:
Janice joined us for our topaz and citrine event in November last year, she had a love for blue stones and was looking for a bit of inspiration for a bubble style ring she had been dreaming of.
Mike was looking for the perfect engagement ring for his partner Olivia. They’d been to a couple of other jewellers and had an idea of what they wanted, a 2ct emerald cut diamond ring in yellow gold.
Julie and her friend Magdalena had come to one of our workshop class where they made pendants and they had lovely time.
Faith brought her husband Mike in to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary and their daughter Lauren joined them, to have an afternoon tea and to design a piece of jewellery for each of them. A topaz pendant, emerald and diamond ring and a silver bangle with lapis.
Michelle came in to see Abi to have a pair of unique earrings designed and loved the symbolism of butterflies.
Lucy was looking to remodel some sentimental inherited pieces that she could wear everyday
When Alison and Neil visited Petra Jewellery, they brought with them two sentimental rings, Alison’s original solitaire and a stone-set band. She already had a vision in mind: to remodel these pieces into a unique eternity ring.
Polly came in with her gold and diamonds and wanted to make an organic starry night pendant.
During the initial chat, we wanted to do was get an idea of who Tilly was, what kind of jewellery she liked to wear and the designs that would suit her.
Alayne and her good friend Kate came to us to go through a beautiful collection of jewellery Alayne had collected over the years.
