Julie reached out to us in the summer of 2024 with the sad news the central diamond had fallen out of her beloved three-stone engagement ring. This ring had been passed down through generations, originally belonging to her husband's grandmother. Over 100 years old, it was a cherished family heirloom with incredible sentimental value, though wear and tear had left it fragile.

Rather than simply repairing the setting and replacing the lost diamond, Julie wanted to give the ring a fresh lease on life while preserving its legacy. She envisioned a piece that would continue to be passed down to her daughters, keeping the tradition alive for future generations.

We met with Julie in person to discuss her options, exploring ways to balance the antique essence of the ring with a more contemporary flair that would reflect her personal style. We decided to keep the original three-stone layout, honouring the ring's original design, while introducing a stunning 0.50ct natural oval diamond to sit at the centre. The two old mine-cut diamonds from the original ring were repurposed, and placed on either side of the new diamond.

To reinforce the structure of the ring, we reused all the original gold from the original piece, adding additional metal to ensure its durability. This way, Julie's ring would not only last another 100 years but the sentiment and history would remain within the ring.

We were honoured to be a part of Julie’s journey, creating a piece that would carry her family’s history while celebrating her unique story. If you have an heirloom or a vision for a bespoke piece of your own, we’d love to help bring it to life. Contact us to begin your journey, and let’s create something beautiful that will be cherished for generations to come.

​​Leslie and Phil’s love story is deeply connected to the journey of my jewellery business. We first met on a tiny island in Thailand in 2015, when they became some of my very first AJJ customers. Nearly a decade later, in 2024, it was a heartwarming surprise to hear from them again—now engaged and planning their wedding rings during a trip to the UK.

Since the engagement was already official, Leslie had full involvement in designing her engagement ring—a designer’s dream! She fell in love with our pear and round stone ‘Toi et Moi’ ring design but wanted to make it her own by incorporating her favourite colour, yellow. After reviewing several yellow gemstones, she chose a soft, pale, pear-shaped yellow sapphire (1.11ct) paired with a 0.25ct round diamond to create a delicate yet striking design.

For her wedding bands, Leslie envisioned a wishbone design to complement the Toi et Moi ring. Initially, she planned on a single plain band, but a last-minute burst of inspiration led her to add a matching pave diamond band. When she discovered that the design was named the Tao ring—after Koh Tao, the island where we first met—she knew it was kismet and had to include it in her ring stack.

The final set included three rings: a plain wishbone wedding band, the Tao diamond wishbone wedding ring, and the yellow sapphire and diamond Toi et Moi ring. Together, they created a stunning, personalised collection that perfectly reflected Leslie’s style.

Phil envisioned a sleek, masculine wedding ring in black or silver tones. While we typically work with gold and platinum, we collaborated to design a custom heavy-set platinum band with a shallow groove inlaid with black ruthenium and a matching interior. The brushed matte finish added a modern, understated touch that perfectly suited Phil’s aesthetic.

Sending their custom rings back to Thailand, where my jewellery journey began, was a full-circle moment filled with emotion. It’s a privilege to be part of Leslie and Phil’s love story, and moments like these remind me why I do what I do.

Oscar had a vision of creating a rainbow-coloured opal engagement ring as a complete surprise for his partner, a deeply personal and heartfelt gesture that reflected their unique story. As an architect, Oscar was skilled at designing buildings but had never tackled a project on such an intimate scale. His profession gave him incredible attention to detail, which he brought to every step of the design process.

We began by selecting the perfect opal. Out of 12 stunning black, dark, and crystal Australian opals, Oscar was drawn to an oval dark opal with soft pastel colours. Its unique iridescence captured the essence of his vision and set the tone for the design. With the opal measurements in hand, we embarked on creating a contemporary solitaire with a unique twist, paired with a fitted wedding band.

To add intrigue to the solitaire, we designed a curved band that wrapped around the opal, featuring a bespoke, nature-inspired setting. Embracing the asymmetry of the opal, we complemented it with an arched wedding band with cascading graduated diamonds. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to create a cohesive yet distinctive set.

This ring set is the true essence of bespoke jewellery—where a client’s story and sentiments shape the design. Through collaboration and refinement, the design evolved into something extraordinary. Seeing Oscar’s vision come to life was incredibly fulfilling, and the finished piece is a testament to his love and thoughtfulness.
