A Special Request...

Earlier this year Andrew knocked on my studio door with a rather lovely request.... he wanted to ask his girlfriend Samantha to marry him, the set up was oh so romantic and sooo thoughtful, a walk they had taken on their first date, up in the gorgeous wilds of Northumberland, and then the presentation, a ring he had made himself...
Andrew had no experience of making silver jewellery but he knew exactly what he wanted, he wanted the ring to go to a point and a green stone to be incorporated into the design. Blue/green not yellow/green, he was very specific! I appreciated that as we had a very little time in which to make it. The next decision was.. the all important, so which stone...? We looked at a number of suitable green stones and a gorgeous tourmaline was chosen and ordered.

 

Andrew did a great job of making this unusual pointed silver band, all that was left was for me to do my job, make the setting for the tourmaline and set the stone...

 

 

The finished ring, we opted for a satin finish on the outside and shiny inside.

But what we really need to know at this point is ... 'So.. what did she say?'

Well it just had to be a big 'Yes' didn't it?? 

 

It doesn't end there, Andrew asked me if I would make a pendant to match the ring, a Christmas present for Samantha. So here it is....

 

 

 

This could be an on-going story, the may be back next year to make their wedding rings...
