Engagement rings and wedding bands are conceived in our studio as personal objects rather than products, and made in close collaboration with trusted local workshops with whom we have worked for many years.
Some engagement rings already exist as ready to wear pieces — finished works, complete in form and detail. Others are made to order, beginning with a conversation about metal type or gemstone before moving into making. In both cases, attention is given to proportion, weight, surface, and how the ring will sit on the hand in daily wear.
What connects all engagement work is a slow jewellery approach: small-scale production, careful material choice, and decisions shaped through making rather than repetition. The work is intended for use over time — to be worn, handled, and lived with.
Engagement here is not defined by gender, tradition, or prescribed forms. Rings and bands are made to reflect individual relationships, commitments, and ways of marking them.
Engagement rings and bands share a clear language. Settings are often combined in unexpected ways, with attention given to detail — engraving, surface, and construction — while maintaining balance and wearability.
There is a quiet playfulness in how elements are brought together: the relationship between stone and metal, precision and handwork, detail and restraint. These decisions are shaped through making rather than applied as decoration.
Quality underpins the work. Care is given to proportion, finish, and structure — how a ring sits on the hand, feels in wear, and holds its form over time.
The work is not driven by fashion or repetition, but by form, proportion, and use — how a ring will feel when worn, how it will age, and how it will come to belong to the person who wears it.
Engraving plays a visible role across the engagement work. Bands may be engraved on the surface with historical or contemporary motifs, adding pattern, rhythm, and visual interest to the ring. In other pieces, engraving is placed on the inside of the band — carrying dates, words, or marks intended for the wearer alone.
These details are decorative, but not incidental. Engraving is used to introduce meaning, reference, and individuality, whether through a repeating motif or a private inscription. It allows a ring to hold something specific, without relying on scale or display.
We draw on a vocabulary of historical and contemporary references — geometric motifs, line work, repeat patterns — so engraving is a surface that carries both visual rhythm and personal narrative.
Engraving is considered early in the design of each piece and shaped through the making process.
All engagement work is made at a human scale, with careful attention given to material sourcing, making, and long-term impact. Ethical practice is integral to how the studio operates, rather than a separate or additional concern.
Ethical practice underpins how every engagement piece is imagined and made — see the Ethics page for detail.
