Gem pairing
“Amethyst, a variety of quartz, is said to have properties that promote groundedness, conduct 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.
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
Inspired by the Art Deco movement’s emphasis on symmetry and geometric patterns, this Tutti Frutti halo ring features the flamboyant and pronounced central gems characteristic of classic Cocktail Jewellery. It sits raised off the finger, allowing it to be worn flush next to other rings or distinctly on its own. And can be complemented by other pieces from the Tutti Frutti collection.
Metalwork
The shank, halo and claws of the ring were created by 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.
Finishing touches
The completed ring is then sent to the Edinburgh Assay Office for Hallmarking before returning to home to Shetland for a final finish and polish.
The ring is presented in a high quality satin textured and chamois lined box.
