Linking family history together with an engagement!

Consultation

After an initial chat and as a starting point, we looked at the various designs from our ring design box. Consideration was made with regard to the cut of stones and also the engagement would be wed fit.

Design

The devil was in the detail on this ring with reference to the colour of claws and how many. There was also a possibility that the shank off the old ring may be used as the wedding ring, as the client had small fingers.

3D Prototype

The design process involved sketches, top and side profiles, followed by CAD then resin to make sure all details had been taken into consideration. The new ring’s shank was to be the same profile and width, in case this was to be used at a later stage.

Finished Product

With so much emotion and history attached to the original ring, it was paramount to achieve an engagement ring that enhanced the wonderful old cut diamonds. The couple were very happy to work with us throughout the whole design process and we hope they enjoyed working on this design as much as we did.

This shop is incredible. The staff was so helpful and even rushed resizing for the ring I bought my mother for Mother's Day in the states. I went to several shops and the most beautiful jewelry was here. Thanks for making my visit so enjoyable.

Sally and all the team at A A Thorntons are absolutely fabulous - professional yet friendly !
I recently had a ring set redesigned and they were so helpful, keeping me updated every step of the way so that I had input into the settings.
I would definitely recommend them for this type of work and also for the wonderful range of items, jewellery and gifts, that they have in store.
Sally - I can't thank you enough for all your hard work and the utterly beautiful result.
