Ring Design

Inspired by the Art Deco movement's emphasis on symmetry and geometric patterns, this Tutti Frutti halo ring features flamboyant and pronounced central gems reminiscent of classic Cocktail Jewellery. Raised off the finger, it can be worn distinctly on its own, flush next to other rings, or complemented by other items 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

The 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 citrine is claw set and finished with talons, and the twenty four 1mm pink sapphires are individually set into the halo using the thread and grain technique.

Finishing touches

The ring is sent for Hallmarking at Edinburgh Assay Office before returning to Shetland to be given a final finish and polish.

The ring is presented in a high quality satin textured and chamois lined box.
