COPPER PINK TOURMALINE ON HANDMADE gold CHAIN
This piece was commissioned by a gentleman as a gift for his wife. With strong connections to India, he chose this gemstone that Abby had sourced on a buying trip in Jaipur, he knew that this tourmaline was the perfect shape and colour for his partner. Abby was given free rein to design this piece. The client requested that the end result would be bold yet simple and understated so his wife could wear this precious necklace everyday.
“Thank you again for wonderful outcome for this commission. My wife is beyond delighted and we look forward to working with you again soon ” Roland Belgrave
TRAPICHE EMERALD RING: AN UNCONVENTIONAL ENGAGEMENT RING
Abby’s client was looking to commission an alternative engagement ring, a modern classic that would be quite unlike any other engagement ring. An avid collector with extensive knowledge of gemstones, she wanted to use a Trapiche Emerald, and was delighted to hear that Abby could source the gem of her dreams! This rare Brazilian stone with a natural hexagonal shape, is a vivid green colour and has dramatic black patterning, which lends itself to a completely unique piece.
The final design in sterling silver and gold is both striking and understated. Inspired by the Jaipur ring design, it features a bespoke 18 carat gold setting to emphasise the natural shape of the stone and let its natural beauty shine.
HOT PINK TOURMALINE CUFF
This design is a made-to-measure variation on a stone-set cuff seen by my client on the website. The piece features unusual tourmaline trillions (a triangular shaped cut) in a striking shade of hot pink. The gems are set in 18ct gold, while the cuff itself is wrought in sterling silver with 18ct gold detailing. This bespoke commission was completed remotely via e-mail and video call. Suzanne wrote to say: “Thank you for your diligence on this commission. I am so happy with my bangle, it’s glorious!”
PINK TOURMALINE RING TO CELEBRATE AN 18TH BIRTHDAY
Abby’s client was a father looking to create a special gift for his daughter’s 18th birthday. He provided a brilliant cut pink tourmaline that he had chosen whilst travelling in India. The oval gemstone sits in an 18 carat gold cup-like setting, mounted on a heavy hand forged sterling silver ring. This simple design works very well with most gemstones of any shape or colour.
