Bespoke Engagement Rings, Made by Hand in Cambridgeshire
A ring that holds your story begins with a conversation, not a catalogue
I design and make each commission by hand, using Single Mine Origin gold, Ocean Diamonds, and ethically sourced stones, so the provenance is as considered as the design.
Commissions in gold start from £3,000, with most pieces completed in six to ten weeks
Every ring is hallmarked by Edinburgh Assay Office and valued so you can insure it the moment it is finished
Andrew came to me, not for the most elaborate ring, but for the right one, for Alya
A pink sapphire - the colour she had always loved - set simply in silver, made entirely by hand in my Cambridge studio.
No mass-produced machinery, no showroom compromise. Just a considered piece that belonged to one person and one moment.
It is what bespoke engagement actually means: not the biggest stone in the case, but the ring that fits a particular couple. Whether a pink sapphire in silver or SMO gold cast with the sand from a proposal beach, every piece begins the same way — with the two people it is being made for.
How I, and you, make your ring
A discovery call to talk through your ideas, your story, and budget.
A design proposal — with sketches and stone options, no obligation.
Handcrafting in your chosen metal, with progress updates at each stage.
Hallmarking and UK delivery — fully insured.
Traceable Gold & Ethical Gemstones
The emotional weight of an engagement ring relies entirely on the integrity of its origin. I work exclusively with materials that respect both the environment and the craft:
Single Mine Origin (SMO) Gold: Every grain of yellow, white, and rose gold is fully traceable to responsibly managed mine sites with verifiable environmental and community stewardship.
Circular gold: If you do not want new gold, I frequently recover gold from heritage pieces (such as from heirloom pieces and auctions) and realloy the gold from them to the required purity.
Sterling Silver: For some gold is not what they want, silver is a softer, quieter alternative. I use AgAIN sterling silver exclusively for these commissions.
Ocean Diamonds & Traceable Gemstones: Sourced directly from certified ethical suppliers, including Ocean Diamonds gathered by divers off the seabed with minimal environmental footprint
From Initial Sketch to Final Polish: Guided Transparency
Commissioning an engagement ring should be an inspiring, reassuring experience. Whether you arrive with a precise vision or a blank canvas, I guide you through every stage of the build with total transparency:
Ethical Stone Sourcing: I hand-select traceable Ocean Diamonds, unheated sapphires, and ethically mined coloured gemstones—presenting a curated selection of stones for you to compare in person or via high-resolution video.
Layout & Architectural Iteration: Through sketches and stone layouts, we explore proportions, spatial tension, and stone arrangement until the design feels entirely right.
Bench-to-Client Updates: You remain connected to the creation of your piece. As metal is melted, forged, and hand-set at the bench, I share direct photo and video milestones along the way.
Sculptural Engagement Rings Engineered Around Material Provenance
Elemental texture and individual character, beyond the stone, some rings carry a landscape.
Through Sentimental Topography, I cast sand gathered from a meaningful place - the beach where you proposed, a coastline you both love - directly into the gold itself. The result is a ring that is, quite literally, made of the place it marks
