Gem pairing

“Amethyst, a variety of quartz, is said to have properties that promote groundedness, tranquillity, and calm, and counteract impatience.
Tsavorite represents love and friendship and is said to keep partnerships in balance.
Together, the gems provide a balance of serenity and harmony.
Note that amethyst translates from the Greek word améthystos and literally means “not intoxicated”. The ancient Greeks wore amethyst jewellery and made drinking vessels from it in the belief that it would prevent intoxication, so this could be the perfect ring for a night out!”

ring Design

This Tutti Frutti halo ring is inspired by the Art Deco movement’s emphasis on symmetry and geometric patterns together with the flamboyant and pronounced central gems of classic Cocktail Jewellery. It sits raised off the finger and can be worn flush next to other rings or distinctly on its own, and complimented by other pieces from the Tutti Frutti collection.

Metalwork

The shank, halo and claws of the ring were created by forming and shaping metal bullion using traditional mounting methods. These ‘master’ ring components are then used to create moulds from which wax versions are made, and these waxes are cast into 9ct or 18ct recycled gold using the ‘lost wax’ casting method. The component castings are filed, emeried and smoothed before being soldered together using gold solder and a blowtorch.

Gems

he gems are responsibly sourced by a trusted dealer based in Hatton Garden, London who we work closely with to ensure the highest quality and most vibrantly coloured stones. The central 8.5mm brilliant cut purple amethyst is claw set and finished with talons, and the twenty four 1mm green tsavorites are individually set into the halo using the thread and grain technique.
